I'm looking for a folder around $75. I am mainly considering spyedercos and benchmades. What I am considering includes, but is not limited to:
Spyderco Delica FFG
Spyderco Endura FFG
Spyderco Stretch
Spyderco Manix 2
Benchmade Griptilian
Benchmade Mini Griptilian

Where I live, folding knives of any length can be carried but over 3 inches must be concealed. Also, a clipped knife is not considered to be concealed.
 
Delica and Endura FFG are my top picks, not just from your list, but overall edc-wise.
 
Have had three of the six you listed. I really like the mini grip for edc. Had and lost old plastic clipped delica and endura. They were combo edge so I was too biased against that to form a proper opinion for comparison.
 
What are you going to use it for? What about blade length? It sounds like you're not restricted. Some of us nife nuts, start out with a smaller knife start out with a smaller

knife,Delica for example, start using a bigger knife and any never go back to the smaller knife. You might be better off starting out with an endura size knife and skip the smaller

size knives....I Wish I Had!!
 
I like the Manix 2 and the Benchmade Grip. I have both and have been carrying the Manix 2 a lot more. I like the G10 scales better.
 
Whichever one you choose I would select one that you could clip and still be legal....

Nothing more annoying than a larger knife turning sideways in your pocket. For me anyways.

100% agree.. I'd recommend either a light folder that will sit well in your pocket w/o a clip or a legal on you can clip in your pocket. OR, go with longer blade and clip inside your wasteband.. just don't tuck your shirts in and should be good to go. I carry in the waistband often and actually forget I have it moreso than when carried in the pocket. It leaves more room in your pocket for keys/phone/money clip/etc.. and hand room as well.
 
I have both a Manix 2 and a 555HG Mini Grip and they are both great knives. The mini grip is lighter and smaller than the Manix 2 and is a easier to carry EDC. That being said I would get a Manix 2 hands down. The Manix 2 just oozes high quality. It is built like a tank has great steel and the best locking mechanism I've ever used. The Manix 2 just impresses me soo much with it's quality. Razor sharp right out of the box and for the price I paid 73$ on E-bay I can't think of a knife anywhere as good as the Manix 2 for that price. The Mini grip is great and I paid 69$ for it off E-bay and it is worth that price easily, just think the Manix 2 is a way better knife.
 
Mini-Grip has been my favorite for a long time now- years!
 
A clipless back pocket carry manix 2 would be what I'd go with in that situation. Or a delica in the watch/coin pocket of you pants.
 
Save up a little bit more and pick up a Mini Bone Collector :thumbup: it's basically a beefed up Mini Grip. Awesome for EDC.
 
It would be really close between a FFG Delica, and a Mini Grip. I gotta give the nod to the mini-grip for 2 reasons: 1) much better selection of handle colors and steels, and 2) the Axis lock.
 
Most any name brand folding knife is going to be okay for EDC usage. I recommend a Cold Steel American Lawman, an extremely though knife that can still slice very well. If you need a smaller knife check out the Cold Steel Mini Ak47 or Mini American Lawman. They are fantastic knives for the money.
If you want a spyderco or benchmade then check out the Mini Griptillian or Delica. Spyderco also makes a completely stain free line with H1 blade steel. I generally carry much larger knives, but I have owned the Mini grip and delica and I can attest to the awesomeness of both.

Kershaw also makes some really good knives for the money. Maybe look into the Blur, Leek, blackout or groove
