Today Was Sharpening Day

I find sharpening tedious at times, but most of the time, I find it strangely soothing and relaxing. Today was sharpening day for some of my Spyderco knives. Do you guys like sharpening?

Re: What Spyderco is in your pocket today??

My favorite EDC knife of all time. Dragonfly 2 in ZDP-189. Just gave it a touch up on a strop.

Re: Your Delica 5

Everything is perfect for me, but I would like a jimped finger choil.

Re: Delica - Why No Forward Finger Choil?

Hi Rogatsby, Welcome to our forum. The Endura and Delica have been without a finger choil for many years. It's been discussed many times. Some folks just don't want it. sal Sal, thank you very much for responding. I understand that some folks don't want it. But I would bet many do want it. In any e...

Re: Delica - Why No Forward Finger Choil?

So you want something more like a cara cara 2? I personally think that choils can't simply be tacked in, it needs to be fully integrated, and basically you would have to use it. (Try a caly 3 without using the choil, it's awkward) Your hand ends up too far back from where the heel of the blade ends...

Re: Delica - Why No Forward Finger Choil?

No choil on the Delica, ever. No way, no how. However, if you want a similar knife with one, find a good Caly3 (which I wish had no choil, though I love the knife). Just curious. Why are you opposed to a choil? What are the downsides of having one in your opinion? I ask because for me, it's just an...

Re: Delica - Why No Forward Finger Choil?

This has been hotly debated for longer than I've been around. If you really want this, Boomer52 on BladeForums can hook you up. https://i.imgur.com/ylith8r.jpg I still love the stock Delica, but this mod fits my hand much better without the finger grooves, and the choil feels natural to me. Looks n...

Re: Delica - Why No Forward Finger Choil?

Does every knife need a choil? No. The ricasso on the Delica is long enough to put your finger there. Don't try to change what is just fine (my opinion, of course). I just think the choil design is really great and it would improve what is already an amazing knife. So I think it would be an improve...

Delica - Why No Forward Finger Choil?

I just got into collecting Spydercos and bought the Delica. Overall, I love it and for me, it is almost a perfect knife. The only problem? It does not have the 50-50 forward finger choil like many other Spydercos. Does anyone know the rationale for this? If the Delica had the jimped finger choil lik...
