Spyderco Locking Folders with 3" Blades

[RamZar]

Spyderco has quite a few locking folders with 3" blades!

You can only choose one. It will take a few minutes to post the poll.

1. Delica4
2. Native5
3. Para3
4. Sage1
5. Sage2
6. Sage3
7. Sage4
8. Sage5
9. Caly3
10. Rubicon/Rubicon2
11. Salt1/Tasman Salt/Snap-It Salt
12. Battlestation
13. Centofante4
14. Centofante Memory
15. P'Kal
16. Efficient
17. Kiwi4
18. Khalsa
19. Positron

Note: I broke down the various Sage models into their own choice because they have different locks and scales. I had to combine some others since BF has a limit of 20 options for a poll.

You can only choose one.

That's a problem for me! I can't pick just one. I'll take 1-9

 

[Murphjd25]

I'll have to get back to you on this one..gonna be between a Sage or the Para 3 probably.

I went back and forth on whether to make it a single choice or allow multiple choice. We can always do a multiple choice at a later date.

For the record, I think the rubicon has mad sex appeal but I've never seen one in person, know anyone that has one, or could see myself owning one so I couldn't vote for it based on that; but darn it looks good in pictures.

 

[5-by-5]

Where's the Harpy?

 

[RamZar]

Where's the Harpy?

I excluded those below around 2.95". Harpy and Chaparral are 2.75".

 

[NoFair]

My normal folders are mostly 3.5-4" or about 2.5" so none of my main users are on the list (Bowie, Chef, Southard, GB2, PPT, Domino, PM2, Military, Techno and CF Michael Walker)

On the list my favorite is the Memory although it is one I normally only carry with a suit

 

[The Deacon]

I like my Centofante Memory but my favorite 3" class Spyderco, the Chaparral, is not in the poll. Granted, at 2.812" inches, it's a hair shorter than those listed, but the Delica's blade is less than .1" longer, at 2.875".

 

[Nfd538]

None on your list mine is the domino.

 

[Surfingringo]

I like the Delica. For me, nothing else on the list is really close (the Centofante is probably second). There are a lot of leaf shapes in that list and that's not my favorite shape for my usage.

 

[RamZar]

I like my Centofante Memory but my favorite 3" class Spyderco, the Chaparral, is not in the poll. Granted, at 2.812" inches, it's a hair shorter than those listed, but the Delica's blade is less than .1" longer, at 2.875".

I excluded those below around 2.95". Harpy and Chaparral are 2.75-2.8".

 

[RamZar]

None on your list mine is the domino.

Domino is over 3 inches at 3.13".

 

[The Deacon]

I excluded those below around 2.95". Harpy and Chaparral are 2.75-2.8".

NP, it's your poll. Still, for the record, the Delica 4 is only 2.875.

 

[Humint]

Delica all the way. Such an amazing blade. The perfect EDC folder in my opinion.

 

[RamZar]

NP, it's your poll. Still, for the record, the Delica 4 is only 2.875.

Had to include Delica. I looked at them on the Spyderco website and the blade lengths for Delica go from 2.876" to 2.90".

So, I guess those in the options have blade lengths of 2.90"-3.00".

Chaparral is 2.812" on the Spyderco website.

BladeForums has a limit of 20 options.

I was most concerned not to have any over 3 inches.

If you went with 2.75"-3.00" these would also be included:

• Chaparral
• Ouroboros
• Introvert
• Persistence
• Harpy

Also, I went with BladeHQ so in some cases the data differs from Spyderco's website. As I said the Spyderco website has Delica in various blade lengths.

Spyderco has Positron at 3.05" whereas BladeHQ has it at 3.00".

BladeHQ is easier to navigate and query than the Spyderco website.

 

[Nfd538]

Domino is over 3 inches at 3.13".

That's fine it's still my choice

 

[Lycosa]

The D4 is out in front.

 

[dogrunner]

I voted D4. I loved its ergos from the start and nothing has changed my mind. Almost all other handles of knives of that size are off in some way for my hand, but not the D4. For me, it is just a question of which D4 Hap40 so far.
