I'm looking into getting a new Spyderco... this is going to be the knife that im asking for Christmas...
My price limit is around $150
I'm just going to be using this knife for EDC tasks, and whatever else I have to do...
I already have the Delica, Manix 2 lightweight, and am getting a PM2 within the next week or so...

So pretty much, what would be the Spyderco that you would recommend for EDC that's at max $150 street price?

Thanks,
Zach
 
Para 2 is a great choice. I also like the military becuase it does have alittle more reach, not much. THose are the 2 i own and love. I also have had the Endura with the 4 inch blade and frn handles... Very strong knife and it under 70 dollars.

You have most of the bases covered. In the models that I like there is still the Manix 2 XL, the Military and the Gayle Bradley. On the smaller side there is the Sage.
 
Currently I would choose one of discontinued knives. In a few month you can have a problem to get some them or pay much more. So my first choice is Leaf Storm. Great little folder. Custom collaboration. great for collection and EDC.
Otherwise I would go with Native5.
 
Chokwe is a pretty awesome knife. One of the ones being discontinued and is cheap right now. I also like the Sage 2, but would get the Chokwe over that.
 
Compared with the Military's/PM2's/Gayle Bradley's (which are all awesome,) you don't hear as much talk about the Native 5...GREAT little EDC knife.
 
Congrats on your excellent choices to start your collection. My recommendation for your next <$150 would be the Caly 3.5 Carbon Fiber ZDP-189 or the Gayle Bradley or the Stretch ZDP-189 although bernard_s3 has a good argument on acquiring the discontinued Superleaf. The Superleaf is a beast (4mm thick) with Compression Lock, excellent ergos and will certainly shoot up in value soon. As you continue your collection you will soon come to understand, like most of us have, that there is no wrong answer to your question.
 
The PPT would be my choice, or the Gayle Bradley. Or get an Endura and have money left over for something else
 
My first Spyderco is a gayle bradley - mainly inspired by what I read about it in BF.
One of the best - in fact it is so good, got a second one.
 
Are you talking the Blue FRCP?

I love mine...but, kinda pissed I got mine when they came out...only plain edge. Yuck. Lol

They have it in partial serrated now. But, I don't need 2. :-(

Try trading it for a combo edge one. Because most who have combo edge don't really like them so they would gladly trade with you.
