I carry my plain edged delica just about everywhere. It holds a razor edge amzingly well and it takes abuse unlike any knife I have ever owned.

next knife

My first Soyderco was a delica several weeks ago. I just bought the triangle sharpmaker and I only have one word about it, "scary". I also bought a ladybug formy cousin, 17, and I think I will also get one for my girl unless anyone has any other suggestions. I am trying to figure out what ...

hollow grind vs flat grind

Is one grind better than the other?

new to spyderco

I just purchased a delica lightweight plain edge and was hoping for some suggestions on caring for and sharpening of it. I think the term "sheeple" that you have developed is hilarious and true. I'm 17 and did over 5 years of karate and had to put up with plenty of them, you should have se...
