Gave into temptation just now and ordered and orange Delica. It will be my first orange addition to the heard, and my first Delica ever.
I was debating between the Delica and the Endura for a long time. I had an Endura wave that I sold off but I really wanted an orange one with a saber ground blade. Guess it'll have to be a Frankenstein to get that setup.
I went ahead and got the Delica as I've been really wanting one for a while.
I was trying to decide between going the smaller route vs the bigger route and the Delica just won for the time being. I normally carry a PM or a larger Benchmade so the smaller Delica should fill a nice niche.
Hopefully I chose wisely. Will post pics upon arrival.
Finally gave in and ordered some orange

Allow me to share, I just this week got my first Delica 4 all Black. Smaller then PM 2 better for EDC and $50 bucks (I got a deal) better than $130 on my Paramilitary 2 so I want keep that safe.
Its a great EDC knife in general, I got the All Black matte version combo edge.
Prices are only going up. Stocking up on a new PM 2 also

Good choice of color. Welcome to the club.modestglock26 wrote:Gave into temptation just now and ordered and orange Delica. It will be my first orange addition to the heard, and my first Delica ever.
Smaller yes. Better for EDC, I do not think so. $130 for Para2, you overpaid. You can get it for $100. And I will take $100 Para over $50 Delica anytime. Blade bigger and stronger. Stronger lock. Better ergos, choil. I strongly beleive that majority on this forum would not agree with you as well.IceCold wrote: Delica 4 Smaller then PM 2 better for EDC

Not to worry, my PM needs are covered for now.
I just was getting this strong craving for some orange and I feel like the Delica and the Endura are both excellent EDC knives, not that the PM isn't. I've been carrying the PM everyday and I love it.
I also love options!
I was tempted to get an orange mini grip but I think the Spyders just look so much better.
My last Endura was a navy blue wave, it was also the one that gave my VG10 to the bone and a few stitches
I felt like the Delica was a good choice to splice in between the PM and the green Tenacious for the time being.
Why did I just recently get this urge for so much orange?!?!?

That looks more like a Paramilitary not a Paramilitary 2.
I have the same exact coloring I can tell by the Clip that its not the PM2. And at $130 Yes I think I over paid a little for my PM 2 Black DLC blade version but its worth it in quality. It was literally my first Spyderco ever. And for my EDC purposes. Delica 4 is better. Because the Tip of the Saber grind is wider reinforced, better if you need to pierce heavy guage think material, The PM 2 has an amazing tip but thin (not weak) but it just looks fragile. Would not want to risk it

Since Mr. Blonde posted pictures of his Orange UKPK I started to have urges for Orange, so I got:UKPK, Ladybug, Milly, Para2, Dodo. Now waiting for Native. I hope for sprint or dealer exclusive. CS loves Orange.

That's probably what it is. I've never been big on super bright colors but right now I'm wanting the orange Endura/Delica combo and then a bunch of other colors too.
I'm a sucker for green's and blue's so those will probably be next.
I was tempted to get the light blue BM555 mini grip with the Spyderhole as I can't stand thumb studs much at all.
Guess it's going to be a colorful time coming up. I have my blacks covered for now with my ZT's.
