I think its been said a lot... imho...I like VG 10. I like the fact that it is easy to sharpen and yet holds its edge real well. I don't really use my edc real hard. Usually its cutting paper, cardboard, or sandwich's in half. I like having a edge shaving sharp. My knives with VG 10 seem to be my be...

howdy, My suggestion, get a black sharpie and coat just the edge of the blade. the part that gets sharpened. As you sharpen the knife you will see the marker come off the edge. Some of my knives I have to tilt a bit on the sharpmaker cause they are a steeper angle then the sharpmaker. just watch the...

zdp steel

hi gang, Some good comments thank you. I use the delica as my EDC and I work in an office so the usual use is cutting boxes and opening letters etc. Not really hard work for a knife. Working around the house, in the garden etc I have a few other knives that I use, one is a beat up military and the o...

I carry one of my spydercos and On my belt is a leatherman. Todays spyderco is the Ed Schemp, although I usually carry a delica with zdp steel, its lighter and easier to carry in the pocket.

Edc

Hi Gang,
For the past couple of weeks I been carrying the delica in zdp 189 steel.
Before that, it was the poliwog. I kinda switch around depending on what mood I am in. I have a so many knives, but a few are my favorites, the stretch, poliwog, endura, to name a few.
Good knife hunting

I have never read a review where it was mentioned that this knife will open when dropped. I never expected a spyderco knife to open like this ...
