      if you're gonna get that why not just save your self a few bucks and get the zt version
      which most people say is better thenthe actual hinderer stuff

      0566 is nice… The other ones are too big... They do look spectacularly dull though... I only like the carbon fibre version...

                  Getting used to it. Light but very solid. Definitely better than the Delica for me. Of course now I have a million other Spydercos I'm looking at I wanna try (Techno, Firefly,…)

                    Hey @Seul …😉. Not sure if this is US-only though but worth a shot.

                        Didn't care for the Techno. It's really fat. Some folks love it though.

                          I know SAKs aren't your cup of tea, but thought you'd get a kick out of this. Victorinox does a Chinese New Year model annually.

                            Good to know. And the Firefly's handles look bulky as well.

                            Applied some WD-40 to the Native this morning at work… Used it for the rest of the morning... My collegue grabbed it and she said it handled/ felt really well...

                            The new Para 3 lightweight looks nice though... (And so it begins...)

                            Edit: that is the best Swiss army knife ever made of course  😎

                              You should try using it in the kitchen, the blade shape is really conducive to cutting vegetables.

                                So I went through all of the current models on the Spyderco website and the one I'd definitely buy is… the Native  😃 So job well done, Doug...

                                This is cute though... https://www.spyderco.com/catalog/details/C28OR2/Dragonfly-2-Lightweight-Orange/818

                                  A couple of my really small SAKs when I'm padding around the house in my pajamas (which has been a lot lately since I've been on furlough for five weeks)

                                  It's amazing how handy such a tiny little knife is. Opening battery compartments to kids toys, opening dog food bags, tightening the screws on doorknobs/light switches. I can even rewick my vape with just this one pocketknife.

                                    I have one or two of the Orange Dragonfly's. They are EXCELLENT.

                                    I actually have about a dozen Dragonfly's littered throughout my house.

                                    The orange ones get used the most because…theyr'e easy to find  😃

                                    I'd highly recommend you get one of those if you get the itch to buy another Spyderco.

                                    They're not as versatile as the Native because they're so small, but they're incredibly useful.

                                      That first one is absolutely stunning…

                                      And yeah: I see the Dragonfly is Japanese made, uses VG-10 steel, FRN handles, and has a nice clip. I won't end up with a dozen littered throughout the pad (nutter  😃 ) but I definitely want to pick one up... Perfect to toss in the old backpack...

                                        Ok, in my defense, this is generally what happens…

                                        Jody brings me a box wherever I am. I leave the box there and grab one of my Dragonflys to open it. The Dragonfly stays in whatever room I was in...I can't find said Dragonfly and I buy another one...

                                        Not nuts...just overly eager to hit "buy again" on Amazon... 😃

                                          Talk me out of buying the ltd. edition, Doug… Royally use the words "idiot", "€uro garbage", and "legally insane and/ or blind"...

                                            You should buy it before I get the last one?

                                            😃

                                            Thanks, didn't know about this one…

                                            Edit: the core is carbon steel. I remember you had issues with rust on carbon steels in the past. Might genuinely want to pass on this one. VG10 really is one of the most easy to care for blade steels after Victorinox steel, so if I were you I'd go with the orange one over this one.
