It could be something simple. Maybe you live near the shore now or have been around saltwater at some point.

New(ish) Delica is covered in surface rust

So I've had a Delica since my mid teens, then when they came out with the FFG Delica I insta purchased it and gave the old hollow grind to my dad. Both Knives were my EDC. I Think the newer FFG had been my EDC for at least 15 years (although i wont swear to that since i don't know when the Delica ...

Please make an endura/pacific salt in lc200n

So, I'm the opposite of a knife collector. I try to be as minimalist as possible. I have i fixed blade for camping canoe trips, my trusty delica FFG that is my faithful EDC which comes with me everywhere. But I also do a lot of traveling, backpacking and I Have an H1 Pacific salt that is what I take ...

Re: Locktiight on hinge screw?

Ok thanks,
I had to open it about a year ago to clean out some sand that refused to leave. I noticed recently that the blade seemed a bit loose and wobbly when closed, when i grabbed the screw driver the screw was pretty loose. The lady at spyderco (I forget her name) sent me some of the compound ...

Locktiight on hinge screw?

I have a delica vg-10, should i be using locktight on the blade hinge screw or not?

also, since I'm here I figured i would ask, what is the advantage of the delica in ZDP-189 and is it available in other steels?

Re: what type of screws for Delica

Ok, I spoke to Charlynn and she explained to me that the clip screws are the same size threading and can in fact be used for the scales. To her credit, she did offer to send me a full set (7 pieces) when I initially spoke to her, before i posted this thread. At first this made no sense to me since i ...

Re: what type of screws for Delica

the only option i was given was to buy a full parts kit for about $30 (after shipping, duties etc...) which seems really excessive since i'd be surprised if the retail value of the screws exceeded 40 cents.

i looked online and it seems I'm not the first one to face this problem and simply be ...

Re: what type of screws for Delica

This is getting really ridiculous. How can so many people on this site possibly rave about the customer service?
Fine, they don't have the screws in their repair facility, so I asked for the specs. she tells me she doesn't know and has no plans of finding out. In essence, good luck to you I'm not ...

what type of screws for Delica

I just got back from an extended trip to Australia where my delica got lots of use. Anyway, it got full of sand that wouldn't rinse out, so i took it apart and cleaned it out, then resembled it with no issues until i looked at the screws and realized they were somewhat stripped. I managed to get the ...
