Spyderco Delica 4 SB or Manix 2 FRN S110V?

#1

Post by Johnnie1801 »

So guys, I need your help. Which of these two knives would you buy if you could only buy 1? I missed out on the Delica before because I already have a vg-10 version and I didn't want to pay so much for one ($160), but now I kind of regret it. Or should I go for the Manix 2 S110V. I don't have a Manix but this one really appeals to me the most these days. Should I buy the Manix and wait for the SB Stretch or should I jump in and get the SB Delica and the Manix later?

Your thoughts are widely appreciated

The Super Blue Delica is a sprint while the Manix2 isn't. The Super Blue Stretch is about the same price (as the Manix2) and currently available if you want to consider that.

I always buy sprints before normal production but the S110v variant will probably be harder to track down than most of the current knives; similar to the Para2 it might take a bit of patience. Speculatively at least.

Really though, talk about a win-win huh? :)

Agree with Blake on this one. Sooner or later, you're going to have to have both of them. Grab the sprint run while you can.

Sprints wont be around for long. The 110V will be.

Didn't we just do this thread with the CTS-204P PM2 instead of the SB Delica? The right answer is still the same: get the limited one now while you can find it at decent prices, otherwise you will pay mucho for it later. Thankfully that S110V M2 is stock (wow!!).

There is a big difference in size here, and lock type. I like the size and lock type of the M2. I have a Delica that I carry as a second knife, in my pocket. It is smaller so I can carry it in my pocket, and I don't mind the slower lock type because it is the secondary knife.

Thanks for all the replies everyone. The SB Delica's were unfortunately sold out within 24 hours and I didn't pull the trigger fast enough. I guess there is a lesson here, if you want a limited edition knife then you have to go for it straight away and pay what you have to pay.

Why not go for a super blue Stretch? They're still available and the dimensions are close to the manix.
