its the lil spider that gets em all juiced up pretty sure.
I don't like the hole on the blade that they have just for the sake of being different. I also see a lot of people putting zip ties and crap for lack of a thumb stud.
I'm not going to try to sell you on Spydercos in general, because I've been in the same boat as you; sometimes I buy a knife because N. Shabazz (and the rest) tell me it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. Then I pick it up and think, "What's the big deal about this?" Right now, everyone seems to have a love fest with both the Keen (from Drop, not Spyderco) and the Kapara (from Spyderco). I really don't get it either, though I've handled the Keen and not the Kapara. The Kapara just looks to me like it's got a weird shape, but no one else has said this.
That being said, you mentioned the Advocate. That's a bit of a different offering than the usual Spydercos in G10. I happen to love the orange peel, and I appreciate the fact that it's got an M4 blade. Also, it's a flipper, which I like a lot. The only thing I didn't like about it was the very strong lockbar coupled with a lockbar thumb cutout that wasn't big enough, so I weakened the lockbar, and I slightly increased the cutout with a Dremel. Now the Advocate is a dream. I recommend it highly.
bought my first spyderco (resilience) the other day at libmart because it was marked down price and i can wave it with ziptie mod which i doubt ill ever buy another knife that wont wave again. im hooked on that feature meow.
Interesting point! What is "libmart"? Never heard of that.
You know what’s even cuter? A grown adult being patronizing on what’s supposed to be a forum with a cohesive community. Stick to the topic at hand rather than insulting your fellow forumites.Walmart. You know, he's trying to be cool and trendy because Walmart is not going to sell ammo anymore. Which is stupid, because that's not the problem.
Still... Libmart. Cute. The kiddies and their sayings!
I have to admit that I used to dislike the sight of a Spyderco knife with its gimmicky hole in the blade, and odd look. On a whim, I snatched a Para3 off BHQ last year because it was on sale. Guess what, I absolutely love the little knife! I also love the grippy G10 scale material they use. Admittedly, I’m not a fan of the high ride pocket clip, so I tried a replacement Lynch clip...it just bent. I went back to the original Spyderco clip and just live with it, because it is a solid, reliable pocket clip. Five out of seven days a week, the Para3 is in my pocket at work.

wowAh. F flashcan556 is making a political statement. Aren't those supposed to be limited to the Political Arena?
Maybe he did not read the rules we agreed to abide by when we signed up. F flashcan556 , here is the rule and a link to the location
"Keep Political Issues Confined to the Political Arean
Politics are a charged topic of conversation. As a result, we require that they be kept to the designated areas. Occasionally these rules may be relaxed with regards to knife related topics. The Moderators & site staff will make that determination & have sole authority to do so"

Are you asking me?is it your opinion that the delica is better in some way than endura? to me it seems the delica blade appears too short for the handle length or something?
