Spyderco Forums

Hello

I am casually thinking about acquiring another Delica. I've been wanting to try a different steel, maybe one that holds an edge a little better than VG-10.

Seems like all of the Delica 4's with S30V I find have pink scales.

I could change that scales but an S30V blade is a bit expensive to ...

Thank you for all of the helpful replies.

It seems as though quite by accident I have managed to get the two Spyderco's out of the lineup that I would like best. Delica 4 and Manix 2 lightweight.

Not only that, but I have managed to get the version of each I like best. Again, quite by accident.

I selected this knife because it has clip screw holes on both sides and both ends. I am left handed and carry point down.

I didn't know Spyderco made both a lightweight and a standard weight Delica 4.

How does a Delica 4 lightweight differ from the standard?

Thank you @Michael Janich

Knowing the threads were in the liner I revisited the situation. It was a matter of not bearing down on the screw hard enough for it to engage. I put a carbon fiber clip and it is a little thicker than the Spyderco clip.

The threaded part of the scales on my Delica 4 are stripped. (I assume the threads are in the scales?)

I have another Delica to which I won't attach a clip so I could swap the scales but I'm thinking this might not be an isolated incident.

I have some Locktite 242. Would that be a good way to go ...

Good information. Thanks!

I bought it on impulse. Didn't really know what it was just that I had a Delica 4 and liked it so I wanted to try another Spyderco. OH, and I liked the translucent blue.

Thanks @sal, @Wartstein and @SRT392HEMI!

Is the pocket clip the only difference between the standard and lightweight Manix 2's?

The Lynch is much nicer than the Spyderco wire.

The pocket clip for my Manix 2 is missing and I was looking for a new one. All of the clips I was finding were the three screw style. I finally figured out I have the lightweight version which has a wire pocket clip.

How does the Lightweight differ?

Thanks!

The carbon fiber pocket clip arrived yesterday. It positions in my pocket very well.

It positions so well I may have to look for another Spyderco.

Thanks for all the responses. I went with an eBay carbon fiber regular carry and black clip screws for now. I'll use that for a while until something else strikes me.

The red scales do look good though.

I've been carrying one Spyderco or another for 10 years but have not posted on this forum before.

I have a Delica 4 I'd like to dress up a bit for EDC. I've been carrying a Manix 2 in a Remora magazine pouch in my rear pocket but that has become uncomfortable so I want to change to front pocket ...
