spyderco delica/rescue jr/merlin are inexpensive, high quality tools that you will actually use. how many of you know folks who own $200 folders that are afraid to use it for fear of scratching it? buy what you'll use on a daily basis, and not be afraid to abuse, because that will be the folder that gets "drawn" regularly for mundane tasks- it will become familiar in your hand, kinda like muscle memory. if you lose the spyderco, you're only down 40-50 bucks. the sub 3" blade is legal almost anywhere, and it's so thin and light you would be remiss to leave it at home. no design affords you easier ambidextrous opening and closing that the spyderco thumb hole. don't buy designer knives unless you have the coin to afford it. i don't even offer knives that cost more than $50. stick with cost effective tools like the spyderco 98 series.

joe
