Spyderco Forums

I've carried a Delica of one sort or another for over 12 yrs. The last year I've carried a D4 saber ground and it holds an edge just fine. But as was already said, you have to make sure the "sharp" feeling your getting isn't just the wire edge.

I have several Delica 3 models that came in clamshell packaging. I got them from a local knife shop many years ago.

Got to say that the Ti is the only UKPK that I would probably never buy. I am just not a big fan of metal scales (aluminium or titanium) ... they're easily scratched ... usually finished smooth/slippy ... they're hard/non-tactile ... just not for me really. My watch is made from titanium because I ...

I'm without a doubt waiting for this to be available. I like the FRN version and like the feel and look of Ti.
I'll probably snag a couple. :D

I make it a point to always have three things on me. 1. Light 2. Fire 3. Knife I forgot my knife one day years ago. When I got home a spare went into the center console of my car just in case that happened again. It hasn't though. Now I also have one on my keyring so if nothing else I'll at least ha...

My most used and carried Spyderco would have to be a partially serrated Delica 3 I picked up in 1998. Carried it every day until I bought a Delica 4. Started carrying that in January of 2010. So my D3 gave me 12 years of EDC use. It still gets rotated into carry even now. I just have a lot more pock...

I'm not sure when they made the change. I got mine last year and it's the "redder" shade of purple but still has pin construction instead of screw construction. I've never been bothered by pin construction so it's not an issue for me. I carried a Delica 3 for 11 years so I know they will l...

Carbon steel blades always make food taste bad at first, in my experience (1070, 1075, 1095, o1, m4, Case's CV). After cutting a few things, however, it's always gone away, including with my M4 Military and Gayle Bradley. Let a bit of patina build up, I'd say. Oh the taste doesn't go away. You just...

I started with a Delica 1st generation black blade that I carried a long time then switched to a Jess Horn Lightweight that I carried forever. I liked it so much I bought another to keep as NIB. Then a Micarta Jess Horn. I carry a Delica 4 plain edge now. The Spyderco bug consumed me 3 years ago an...

I was playing with my large Wegner and Paramilli the other day. :) Just have too many?... naaa! :D By the way, I'd love to see a pic of your well-used D3. - best wishes, Jazz. Actually it looks almost new other than the clip having a bunch of black coating missing. I used it a lot and carried it ev...

Sure, the G-2 steel isn't the latest and greatest, but it sharpens easily and holds a fair edge. TedP Yeah, mine is ATS-55 and it works just fine. That's why I don't worry too much about some of the steels as they change them. I'm guessing Spyderco will use something better than the previous genera...

I carried a Delica 3 for around 11 yrs until January of 2010 when I bought a newer model. A Delica 4 actually. And then started the buying spree. My trusty D3 went into semi-retirement for mostly sentimental reasons. It was one item that I've used and carried the longest. Every road trip and cutting...

The Delica is probably my favorite EDC. I carried a D3 for over 11 yrs until I switched to a D4 at the beginning of last year. I met Sal at Blade a few years ago and mentioned I'd carried a Delica for however many years at that time. He asked if I had it on me. I did. He seemed surprised at the cond...

I viewed this forum for about a year before I even joined. I'll see about coming up with something to annoy all of you. :p In all seriousness though, it's one of the best forums for info and people not flaming everyone just because they have a keyboard and an internet connection. I've carried Spyder...

I'd pick up the white one now while you have a line on one. Get the gray later if you want another.

The white are hard to come by. I got lucky in finding mine.

Good luck getting it. I totally got lucky and logged into a site that had just posted one for sale because they found it out in the warehouse or whatever. That was a few months ago and I got it for what they sell all their D4's at. I'd actually tried to order 2 but got a phone call telling me how th...

I have Spydies in G10, SS, CF and Ti but I tend to prefer the FRN.
It serves my purposes and it can take a beating and not look roughed up after.

I just got an open top, three drawer tool box yesterday from my parents. They got it for me specifically to store knives in.
I put my sharpmaker and things like that in the top part.

I was with some friends and their family (that I don't see often) and we were discussing guns and knives. I pulled out my Ladybug Salt to explain I still couldn't even carry that at work even as small as it is. My friends cousin's wife said, "Well that's just one of those cheapo knives isn't it...

It's my favorite handle material. I have Spydies in G10, CF, Ti, and metal and the FRN is my fav. The Delica is probably my favorite pocket knife period.
For 11 years it was a D3 and since last January it's been a D4.
I don't think you'll be at all unhappy with this knife.
