I carried a Gen 2 Spyderco Endura Spyderedge for 25 years with FWPD. It never failed me but now that I’m retired and living on my ranch, I worry about losing it. I got a new Gen 4 Endura full flat grind and chose a color that will be more difficult to lose. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/04/full-19470-419004-img_8519.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2024/04/full-19470-419005-img_8518.jpeg)

I think Spyderco makes some of the best sanely priced knives on the market right now.

Always liked spyderco knives and have owned a bunch of them over the years (paramilitary 2 was my favorite)... sold 99% of my knife collection to buy knifemaking equipment when i started building my own, but I've got an OLD serrated delica I still use around my shop

Orange handle is smart choice. I did the same for all my deer skinning/gutting blades a decade ago and still have them. Prior to that I seemed to loose a knife a year.
To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.www.NewHopeEquine.com - Health and Healing through Horses.

Lotta stories those knives could tell.
A Democracy is when two wolves and a lamb vote on the dinner menu. That is why this country was specifically not designed as a Democracy. We are a Constitutional Republic.
