Hi Chris,

Actually, the tip is not broken, just dull and used from work in the garden. It looks broken when compared to the Delicas, but the Worker model came with a shorter blade and pointy point. So, there won't be any problem bringing back the tip. Just some patience and elbow grease. (I only ...

I am a Delica fan. When I first saw and held this knife, I thought that it was an early version of the Delica series. I did not know about the Worker model, that is why I thought that the blade had been so very ground down.

But the Worker ...

That edge can definitely be brought back.

Pinned construction does complicate doing a blade swap, but the bigger problem will be whether or not a newer blade will work with the older lock bar, and it's even more questionable if you could also swap the lock bar too.

But really I would try to ...

Thank you everyone. I am quite encouraged. Did not know about the Tufram Worker model at all.

As far as sharpening goes, I am very skilled with plain edges, but have just never done serrated, other than a quick touch up. So, this seems like it might be a good candidate to do some learning.

Thank ...

there you go. Please offer your thoughts.
Thank you.

A new blade will not fit. Besides which, the metal handled knives of that era were all pinned construction, making disassembly and reassembly challenging. It sounds like time to retire it.


I just saw that it is pinned. Thank you for pointing that out.

Maybe the only option for using it in the ...

Hi, My mother bought and used a Delica from about 1992 that has metal panels and a G-2 serrated blade. The blade appears too worn down to be resharpened, but the rest of the knife is in great shape.

Does anyone have a suggestion of how to get a new Delica blade? Or if it will even fit in one that ...

Thank you Spyderco for continuing this delightful model! I have owned about 120 Spydies over the past 20 years, in many steels. This has them all beat for edge retention.

Was just able to snag a backup PM2 Maxamet up today.

This has been my EDC since it was new, and is now my favorite PM2, and my ...

I can't really weigh in on the steel choice, I'm just here reading, but...
Surfingringo, this treetopping talk always amazes me. I know it's been poured over in other threads so sorry to ask again, but how are people able to get knives that sharp? Is this a big step beyond hair whittling? I guess ...

I also have both versions. The new blade is also noticeably longer, thinner at the tip, and has the different ricasso grind which makes sharpening easier.

One difference that I notice is even more significant to me. The 2013 version is polished and smoothed all around the edges of G10 handle. It ...

I haven't been able to carry a 154CM, VG10 or S30v for a long time, and certainly nothing lesser than that. My carries are currently limited to M4 on the low end, 204p, M390, 20cv, K390, Hap 40, Rex45, ZDP 189 or S110v. I keep them sharp, and at a pre-set bevel so quick touch-ups with high quality ...

One reason for buying more than one of an exclusive or sprint run, is to trade for the ones that you missed when they first came out.

With that intention, I was able to get extras of the Para3 Rex45 burnt orange sprint run. And, just traded one for a PM2 20cv exclusive straight across. Fair to both ...

I'm not 100% certain how the behind the scenes process works for distributor exclusives that only go to one dealer: whether the distributor just puts in the request to Spyderco at the behest of the dealer; the distributor decides all on their own to make the order and then offers the whole batch ...

Bento Box Shop should not be recommended to others because their prices are very high, they charge shipping ($14.95) and they do not accept returns.

Personally, I've even avoided them with their nice exclusives.


I agree. That was the reason that I posted their price. I did order one of their ...

Bento Box is charging @299.95 for the PM2 Rex 45!

Bento Box is now charging $299.95 for the Para 2 Rex 45.

I am on e-mail wait list at both those places and did not get a notice about them even being in at all.

My past experience with Rivers Edge was excellent. I was on a wait list for the Sprint Para 2 in Rex 45. They sent an e-mail with a link which I followed and finished the sale. Simple, no time, immediate delivery etc. It would have been nice for them to use that process with this one too.

But ...

It is nice that they offered to hold those orders to try to fill them later. That is certainly fair.
