I´m wearing a Delica for selfdefence today and thinking about upgrading. I´ve got two spydecos to choose from. The Police (G-10/SS) or the Gunting. I´ve read a lot about the different models. I have come to the conclusion that the bladelength I need is about 4 inches. I will ONLY use this knife for defensive purposes. There will be no woodwhittling, cottagebuilding or earthdigging. Some of you might think ”why rely on a mechanical lock when you can go fixedblade?” Well, a fixed blade is X inches wether it is concealed or used. Where I live concealment is a must from a PC and socialinteractionistic standpoint. A folder is almost half the length of a fixed blade when it´s not in use. Therefore I believe a folder will fit my needs.
So what about those 4 inches? Well the policemodel have them but the gunting don´t. Then again the gunting seems to be one well thoughtout knife. I will buy the gunting alright, but when (yes, WHEN) the gunting with a longer blade comes I will buy it ”again” and pass the old gunting on to a friend (with education of course). I will upgrade when the time comes because of the better penetration achieved with a longer blade that will save time in accomplishing the results that I need. There´s just one problem. Is there a ”package deal” somewhere ont the live blade, the drone, the tapes (I´d rather have DVD´s but there seems not to be any of those) and a concealment carry system? The cost is about three times the price of a policemodel (oooh, please don´t start trashing me, I know it´s a system not only a knife <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle>). So in conclusion I have only two questions:
1. Where can I get the whole gunting-package-deal at a good price?
2. When is the 4 inch model coming?
Thank you in advance.
