What is your favorite Delica Variation?
^What the title says (also I want to choose between Wharncliffe and Emerson Wave versions, so if you can help with that it would be great)
Re: What is your favorite Delica Variation?
I'm in no hurry to own a delica, but definitely the wharncliffe.

I don't like the delica, but of the 2 I own the CS exclusive orange s30v wharncliffe.

Re: What is your favorite Delica Variation?
I didn't like the Delica until I got the Wharncliffe HAP40. It was mainly the blade shape I didn't like, so now it is perfect with the Wharncliffe.

I thought I wouldn't like the Delica, because I honestly found it pretty ugly and bland. Then they came out with the Pakkawood version, so I snagged it because I thought those scales were very nice looking. I lucked out and got a great knife, even scales with good color/grain on both sides. Then I started using it, wow...incredible slicer! Best slicing knife of the 10 Spyderco knives I own. I love everything bout the Delica Pakkawood HAP40/SUS410

Pakkawood with the hap 40. Got it as a gift from my wife and daughter. So, that did tilt it some, but still is an amazing knife
Re: What is your favorite Delica Variation?
My blue FRN Delica sees way more use than any of my others. Pakkawood/ HAP40 is definitely my nicest. Wharncliffe/HAP40 may well become my favorite but I haven't used it enough yet.
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!
Re: What is your favorite Delica Variation?
Not a big fan of the basic delica due to blade shape and no choil. But, I am a big fan of my pakkawood with hap40 wharncliffe (blade swap).
The SE wharncliffe is also good blade.

Re: What is your favorite Delica Variation?
I am a big Delica fan. It is a practical and useable knife. There is a good reason it has endured so many years and is still popular. I am not a fan of the shape of the so called Wharncliffe blade, however. That hump is, to me, not practical and ugly as a mud fence. I like the standard Delica, but the Pakkawood looks interesting.

Re: What is your favorite Delica Variation?
I would love the pakkawood if I could get one. My favorite that i have is last year's yellow and green zone with s30v.

Re: What is your favorite Delica Variation?
Pakkawood HAP40 blade on a regular gray Delica. One day I would like to get my hands on a G10 Delica, but for now I prefer FRN to pakkawood.

Re: What is your favorite Delica Variation?
I don't own one but I love the Delica 3 (Salt 1) handle design and profile and I think the barrel clip of those models is a highly under appreciated design. So simple and robust. If there was a FFG Delica 3 I would be all over it. Those handles just fit my hand better and I find the volcano texture work just fine vs the more aggressive BDT.

Re: What is your favorite Delica Variation?
I only really use my Pakkawood D4 and a ZDP189 D4 blade in modified Cuscadi "Anzo" scales ... if I do carry an FRN Delica it will be a Delica 3.
Re: What is your favorite Delica Variation?
As lovely as the pakkawood D4 is, the Delica that I have enjoyed borrowing from my buddy the most is a Wharncliffe. If it just fit my hand better, I would already own one.

Pakkawood. Looks great and actually makes for a great user. Durable scales, easy on the pocket, and hap40 is great.

Re: What is your favorite Delica Variation?
I'm a big Delica fan too. The pakkawood is probably the nicest, but I probably grab the superblue sprint the most. I like the lightweight of the FRN over the heavier pakkawood or G10.
