I'm alternating between a SE Delica and a SE Calypso Jr. for my EDC. The Delica seems to be doing fine, I really like the VG-10 steel on it.

So many Spydies so little time!

I'm carrying my SE CF Delica most of the time. It's holding up just fine... though I do switch to one of my older FRN Delicas or a Native III sometimes.

I use mine...I'm not afraid to use it hard as I have never really liked it.
I prefer the FRN.

I carry mine in a Mike Sastre CF pattern Concealex neck sheath. I don't use it much (the blue G-10 Native gets the use) and it's protected in the sheath, so the finish is just fine <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

The PE CF Delica is IMHO one of the best all-round knives Spyderco has produced.

By the way, Mike Sastre bought his own PE and SE CF Delicas so, if he still has them, you wouldn't even have to send him your knife to get a sheath made.

Frankly, my CF Delica is still NIB and it's most likely it'll remain this way. Mostly because it's a present from Sal Glesser himself <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

My SE CF Delica probably ties my Calypso Jr. for pocket time (they've both been feeling neglected once I finally got a Paramillie) and I never noticed any wear on the CF finish at all from normal pocket carry. That said, I've always been pretty careful not to drop it and I don't really carry anything else in my knife pocket besides a single car key or some lip balm or something small like that, so it didn't really have to stand up to much.

I would think CF would probably scratch pretty easily if it was banging around with a bunch of metal stuff or dropped on concrete, etc, since the finish kind of feels like plexiglass to the touch...

I have two jackets I tend to wear, each has a Spyderco knife living in a pocket. One's a CF Delica (the other a Lum Chinese Folder). It's holding up fine, but there's not generally a whole lot in the pocket other than the knife.

Carried mine for about a year till I got the 'Lil. Now I love the 'Lil so much that I don't use the CF Delica anymore. IMO the CF Delica is an excellent EDC, finish held up fine, the clip though, is pretty beaten up.
