What color and what model of knife to get

[Armenate]

I am wanting to get either a Dragonfly, Delica, or Endura. I am torn between which one to get and also which color. I already have an orange and salt dragonfly (I RIT dyed it green) a grey FFG delica 4 and fooliage green half serrated sabre ground Endura 4. If I get the dragonfly it would be the purple. Right now the main colors I like are the Orange, Blue and Purple. But then I look at the other colors and it just gets harder oh boy I guess the poll is more about which colors pop or look coolest to you and then I can sorta see what colors people end up liking the look of best

I say preorder either a Delica or Endura in Hap40. Burnt Orange looks pretty sweet. Plus you don't have a plain edge Endura. If your looking for just a standard model I say a blue Endura

How is HAP40 compared to vg10?

Spyderco hasn't released any knives with it yet. It is a super steel somewhere in the mid 60's on the Rc scale. I believe it has been used in high end Japanese kitchen knives. But definitely worth a try since you already have all that Vg-10

HAP40 is a Japanese 'super steel' most often compared to CPM-M4.

Thanks for wording that better than I did. Didn't do my homework before posting. I've basically just come to trust that whatever Spyderco decides to run in their Seki Sprints will be awesome so I don't do much research lol

Out of the knives you mention, the Delica is the most all around useful so that is what I would opt for. I own all of these models (not all colors). For me, the gray, purple, and blue are the best colors, followed closely by orange.

Get the color you like. We can't possibly know your taste for you.

In my opinion, since you already have samples of the Dragonfly, Delica and Endura, it comes down to another color of the same model or branching out into another model. Personally, I would branch out a little bit and try something new. First to come to mind is the Centofante 3, one of my top 2-3 Spyderco models. Or maybe a Stretch. Both have been around for several years and are established in the Spyderco line up. Or consider the Chinese Spyderco models that get a lot of praise. You might want to look at the Tenacious, Persistence, etc. Lots of other choices.

If it's just color that's the priority, it's a totally personal choice from the available rainbow.
