I'm curious about the "numbered" part. Is it a Spyderco photo, but the knife you got has a CC# (collector's club)?

It has the number 019V just before the slanted H1. Not sure what that means.

The site says the knife is on back order. Does anybody know how long it takes 5x5 to fill the back orders? I had a Kahr Arms Delica that I regret selling. It’s a really handy design with some serious cutting power.


I grind every JanDelica myself in response to orders from 5x5. They are a ...

Regarding the Spyderco Kahr Arms Delica4, this is the next best thing. I really like mine.

Curious why you call a JanDelica Custom the "next best thing" to the Kahr Arms ...

Clipless = I will lose it, sooner or later. I cannot tell you how many Leatherman Micras have vanished from the bottom of my pocket. I have a small Victorinox that belonged to my late brother - it was actually a give I have him many years prior - and I am scared to death to carry that knife in my ...

I’m very wary of fakes, so eBay seems off limits. But all of the regular distributors (BladeHQ, KnifeWorks, etc) seem to only have current production knives. I’m looking for older Delicas, generation 1, 2, 3, and earlier 4.

Just ordered a JanDelica Custom from 5X5. It’s back ordered, so not technically “in the mail” but it’s paid for and hopefully the wait won’t be too long.

Continue to build the Delica collection - this one will be #12.

I (currently) have ten Delicas in a cigar box in my nightstand drawer. Each morning I open up the cigar box and randomly grab a knife - that's my carry for the day (today it's a yellow Salt 2 Wharncliffe H1 serrated edge - yes, I consider that a Delica). At the end of the day it goes onto a little ...

Just Spyderco Delicas for me. I like to keep things simple and focused. When I was much younger and had a thing for baseball cards, I focused on George Brett cards exclusively - collecting over 300 different Brett cards (still have them...interested?).

So, for me, sticking with the Delica (which I ...

I don't think there's really any way to tell until you have the knife in your hands as the listing appears to be using Spyderco's product photos. However, the seller's long time on eBay and mostly positive feedback would make me feel a bit better about it.


Yes, the seller's positive history is ...

Welcome. What’s your concern, exactly? It looks to me what you purchased is a slightly older version of the same model here.

I guess I just panicked after reading a bunch of stuff about fakes, especially through eBay sales ...

I can’t help, but responding to push this back up to the first page where (maybe) someone can help.

Delica #10 for my small but growing collection:

Spyderco Delica 4
C11FPWCTL
S30V
Wharncliffe
Tantalizing Teal
MGE Exclusive

Tried to find this model at KnifeWorks and BladeHQ, with no luck. Found this on eBay, inquired with the seller who assured me of its authenticity - for whatever that’s worth… And in a moment of weakness (y’all ever have one of those?), I hit the “purchase” button.

And, now I’m scared.

Thanks all. Yeah at first I wasn’t sure what to think, but after reflecting on it a bit I figured it was a good deal and pleasant surprise. I can always pick up an H2 variation at some point.

Relative newcomer to Spyderco knives. On a trip to New Mexico in January my son loaned me a Delica ZDP-189 to use while I was there, and when our trip ended he gave it to me. Now I’m big on Delicas - they are all I carry, and I have accumulated several. A few months ago I purchased a H2 Salt 2 with ...

Leatherman, several models. I like the SideClip, Rebar, P2, and Freestyle. I always have a Micra with me.

Leatherman Micra, always. Love that little tool. Just wish they weren't so easily lost. I would prefer a small pocket clip on one. I don't attach it to my key chain, as I hate having a bunch of stuff with my few keys, and I don't always have my keys with me.

Let’s go, Tigers!

I'm a birder. Dedicated. Possibly obsessed. I have always been a nature nerd, going back to my childhood days turning over logs in search of beetles, centipedes, and the like, catching crayfish, frogs, toads, snakes, turtles... Spent most of my youth hunting and fishing whenever possible. In 1993 I ...

Thanks all! I put the order through for the [Delica] Salt 2 with a Wharncliffe Spyderedge. Looking forward to having it in hand and adding it to my modest Delica collection!

I greatly appreciate the input.
