A Glock Gen2.5 27 and a Gerber, it is an older knife I found in a pawn shop for five bucks.

My modern edc is usually one of these, a
Spyderco Delica 4 or Rat-2
Delica is ffg vg10 and the Ontario Rat II is Aus-8.

I pair these with a old Schrade Stockman or Jack.
Sometimes a SAK goes along too.

Rat II is nice. It's made in Taiwan I believe.
It's small as in Delica 4 size small. Rat 1 is 20% larger than Rat II.
Just like an Endura is bigger than a Delica.

For an edc I like the RatII/ Delica4 size.
I have small hands so? Some of you bigger guys that like an Endura would want the Rat 1
I think they are well made and the f+f is nice. Very smooth. Plus I like Aus 8.

They are really nice, especially for around $30.

ps I have a Kershaw Chill, Skyline and Volt II also.
Next month it's their turn!

Well I tried the Boker at work for two weeks she's not a work knife so I retired her to the glovebox ::shrug:: I've been giving a Spydico Delica4 a whirl what a comfortable knife.

Nice orange Delica4 Dogg.
I really like mine, fits me well. I wouldn't mind an Endura either but it's a little big for edc.
The Rat II is super for just about anything I've found. I have only one minor gripe: It's not as grippy as would like sometimes. Handles are nice, but very smooth.
Great thing, the Rat can be found for under $30!

The handle on the Delica to me is fine. Some people don't like frn [fiberglass reinforced nylon] but I like it. Delica is about twice the cost of a Ratll

I hear you dogg.
The Delica4 is excellent. Love the VG-10 too. The Rat2 is half the price of the Spyderco and in that light it's a really nice knife in it's own right. imho :)

I started carrying this Whitebuffalo58 frankenknife, modified Camillus 72 today. So far, no occasion to use it but I do love it.
