Delica from Amazon

Just in case, but it does seems genuine, right?

Thanks!

Hi Antonio,

Welcome to our forum.

First glance seems to be OK, though it's hard to tell from pictures. Is there some reason for your concern?

Wow, thanks Sal! No, nothing really, just in case, because now that there are so many fakes around...

Thanks again!

By the way Sal, is this normal? One of the thing that made me have doubts was the finish of the Spyderhole... very rough and sharp. The Tenacious I bought has better finish.

Thanks!

That is normal. Once upon a time, the holes were chamfered, but it made them more difficult to use. A square edge on the hole gives much better purchase for opening. If it is too sharp (if it cuts you) you can easily round it off a bit with fine sandpaper or the corner of a ceramic stone. The finish on the inside of the hole is a result of the equipment used to cut the hole. Different makers use different equipment.

... just as Yablanowitz says... normal and (for me) even a good thing!

Before you think of perhaps rounding the inside of the Spyderhole: Do you plan on using your knife also in wet conditions or with somewhat greasy hands or whatever? This is where the a bit rougher surface really helps in operation.
Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)

The holes have a different finish depending on the maker and possibly the steel. Seki City has the roughest Spydiehole from my experience. Most models from other makers appear to be reamed or CNC milled but the Seki City ones look drilled with no finishing steps. The hole in the Aeb-l Urban I have looks to be fine blanked with no finishing after.
