Personally, I only own a black Ladybug that was given to me by a friend. It works great but I feel that I NEED a bigger/better knife. Any suggestions?
(I have been looking at the Endura...)
 
I don't think you'll find a better cutter than the Calypso Jr. Lt. Incredible edge geometry, VG-10 steel, very nice.
 
I have a Blue Ladybug, a Delica plain edge with moulded clip, a Delica serrated with metal clip and my newest addition is a Native. I also have a Delica trainer on it's way for using in my classes etc.

My girlfriend had a Cricket. They are all excellent knives in my opinion.

The shape of the Delica is very similar to the Ladybug so you would probably like it and they are not too expensive. I ould agree with the comments on the Calypso Jr and am thinking of getting one myself.

The Native is heavier than the Delica but if fits in the hand really nicely.

Hope some of this helps.

I own the following:

*FRN Endura plain edge with molded clip
*SS handled Delica 2 serrated
*FRN Merlin with steel clip, serrated
*Aluminum handled Civilian serrated
*SS handled Police lefty model serrated (now stolen

)

All of these knives are fabulous, and rival any production knife I have. I love the little Delica so much it is now my EDC. All of these can be easily maintained scary sharp with my sharpmaker. These knives are IMHO the best value you can get! I just got the Civvie, and when I showed it to a friend of mine, he got goosebumps just looking at it! You can't go wrong with any Spydie!!
 
I came to the table rather late, so I have only been able to acquire a Delica II (plain), a Police (plain), and my favorite - a Toad (plain). Of course, these are only the appetizers - just wait until I get to the main meal! Oh, and there's a Matriarch on the way, just to clear the palate between courses.

I have the following:

Bob "T" aluminum
Lum Chinese
Wegner(full size)
Matriarch

The Chinese folder is my favourite. It is sized as the perfect "city knife," and is highly functional while being very elegant.
Here is a link to a review that I wrote of it:

I'm looking forward to getting a G10 Lum Tanto, and hopefully a CF Civilian before they disappear.

Dave, you should really look into getting a Spyderco. You'd probably like them!

Good grief! I see I have a lot of catching up to do. Pass me the check book, kids.

It's hard to beat the Calypso Jr. or Native for a slightly larger--but still not big--knife. They're both reliable, predictable lockbacks.

The Centofante Jr. is a cool smaller linerlock, and its bigger brother is also a cool knife, but you can't do a good "spydie drop" open with it.

I have an older Calypso Jr. and a Jess Horn Ltwt. The latter is a very nice knife that you can find pretty cheap sometimes. One of the smoothest lockbacks ever.
 
I have:

  • G10 Civilian (serrated)
  • Grey Matriarch (serrated)
  • Black Matriarch (serrated)
  • SS Delica (plain)
  • Merlin (serrated)
  • Cricket (serrated)
  • Native (plain)
 
Only a Delica (serrated) for my wife and a Rescue for me (so far).
My next Spydie will probably be the Navigator or the Dragonfly.
 
so far:

CF civi. (plain)
CF dragonfly (toothy)
CF crickit (plain)
2 CF ladybugs
"pearl" inlay native
blue BF native (plain)
pink delica
SS police (toothy)
red ladybug

(sure would like a CF military. maby a CF starmate?)




------------------
'Till next time,
Rich the kite guy
 
Ladybug
Endura serrated
Dyad Jr micarta
Native plain
Dragonfly CF serrated
Remote Release serrated
Snap-it plain
Almite Navigator plain (with Chai that I got from James Mattis)
Rookie Plain

My favorite carry is the Dyad Jr. My favorite for sentimental reasons is the Almite Navigator.
 
LadyBug
Dragonfly
Q
Standard
Calypso Jr.
Delica
Delica trainer
Native
Harpy
and a Merlin in the near future.
