Damn, there are so many choices!!!



Actually, I've narrowed it down to the lightweights for the Endura, Native, Calypso, and Delica models. I want to use for EDC and for outdoors. Any favorites...and why?? Thanks in advance for everyone's help

All great choices, but I don't think you can go wrong with the Endura. It would work better for a camp knife than the others in my opinion.

I like the fact that the Endura (and Delica) have 50/50 blades.

For outdoors use I much prefer the Endura (mine is stainless handle) but personally feel it is a bit large for EDC - Delica is perfect size for EDC.

I like the lightweight Delica(smaller version of the Endura)as my daily pocketknife.I don't think you could go wrong either way.?Which edge you considering?-I thought the 50/50 edge was a gimmick until I used it;now I wonder how I got along without it!For rope or wood(kindling,tent pegs,etc) I don't think you can beat it.

I've owned the Delica, FRN version plain edge, for 2 years now. I love this little guy as EDC, but plan to get a Native(60/40) as EDC for normal AND camping.

I've fallen in love with serrations, and want a slightly heavier blade for camping. I'd get a native as my next purchase, after the new Timberline I was looking at today(and drooling over).
