I need a new Spyderco for under $70. What would you pick, Delica, Native, Centofante ...or something else? Thanks!
 
Personally, I'd go with the Delica 4 or Endura 4. IMHO, two of the best knives for all around EDC.
 
Go for an FRN Endura 4 if you want to keep it under $70, but if you go just a little bit higher you could pick up a Manix 2 (Golden made). :thumbup:
 
For under $70 I would recommend a Benchmade Griptilian... If they can produce a high quality USA MADE knife at this price point then so should Spyderco... or you could wait until the new Native is released! If you are stuck on a Spydie and want to buy now, I would recommend a Native. I have reviews on both on YouTube:

Native uses S30v which will outperform VG-10 in edge retention. Plus you will still have some money left over. I don't think it will be easy to get a ZDP-189 Endura shipped to your door for under $70. Well not from a dealer anyways. I just looked at two popular sites and they sell in the $80-$90 range and thats before shipping.
 
Buying a knife purely on price is always a crappy proposition but I say you chunk up an extra $10 or so and get the Manix 2. Or maybe something with H1. Pacific, Atlantic, maybe the Tasman?
 
Native III and Centofante are on sale at KC, a Bladeforums member dealer.
 
For around $70 you can pick up a Manix 2. Made in Golden, G10, 154cm, super strong lock. It would be a bargain at twice the price.

The Manix 2 really is a fine knife and at a low price to boot!
 
It depends on what you want to use it for, I edc a centofante 3 pretty much everywhere except work and it holds a nice edge and cuts like a demon. I carry a D4 at work and it's a really tough, awsome little knife. I also carry Manix 2 alot of the time if im camping or hunting- another really great hard use knife.

Everything suggested is well worth the money, get whatever you like most you wont go wrong!
 
I have all three you listed and they are all great knive but I think the Delica is the most versatile. It is the one I edc the most.
