    It's my favorite spyderco series of knives and they come in various blade steels... I've found myself carrying either the delica or endura 90% of the time over the last 7 years (I started carrying a saber ground delica since I was 13).

    In the last 2 years I've been preferring the bigger blade, especially for food preparation because whenever I use the delica sized spydercos I somehow end up getting the pivot or my hand full of whatever I was cutting. The longer blade really helps like buttering bread, and cleaning a blade is easier than cleaning the entire knife.

    Have you considered a H1 spyderco? During summer mine is always on me and I can swim with it in the ocean, it really is Rust Proof and not just Stain Less.
    I didn't think to get something in the H1 series. That's a great idea. Thanks

    Endura is good. Popular choice too.

    Useless fact: Spyderco sponsored the knives for the Chicago PD tv series. If you watch closely everytime one of them pull out a folder it is very clearly a Spyderco Endura...

    Stay Bladed.

    I opted for the Stretch in VG10 and my brother took the Endura 4. Endura is still on my "to buy" list.

    Why not look at a nice fixed blade knife?

    Can you recommend a good one for under R1600? I've never really looked at fixed blades. You can't edc a fixed blade can you?

    You can edc one but not many people do.

    Sharp edge has quite a good selection and their pricing is usually indicative of the knifes quality

    I think that everyone should have a decent fixed blade in their knife collection

    Another spyderco folder is never a bad addition though and most of the guys on this thread know their knives

    After having a quick look at the Sharpedge site I would say the quality fixed blades start at over R2k. So maybe a another spyderco is the way to go.

    With fixed blades I would look out for the following brands

    Esee
    Tops
    Fallkniven
    Ka-Bar

    These are more suited to no nonsense fixed blades so if you want something pretty it would be better to go for a custom fixed blade from an SA knife maker

    But I have derailed the thread

    Thanks. Had a look at takealot.com. They have a wide range of those brands for under 2k. I'd need to do some more research before buying and i already have my finger on the trigger. Endura it is.

    I edc a fixed blade. Not for utility purposes however.

    Won't go wrong with the Endura bud.

    Also get hold of "the knife guy" his prices are super competitive.
