Guys,
I'm a little troubled. Six weeks ago I returned from the Cayman Islands after helping my Best Man recover from Hurricane Ivan. Before I got there, he destroyed his :spyder: Walker Lwt, cutting roofing felt/ice and water shield. Just before I returned, I left him with my Delica SS SE, he needed it.
Every day I have taken something different from my modest :spyder: collection, but something has just not felt right EDC. All of my Spydies I enjoy for different reasons, but I have found that the Delica is THE perfect EDC. I've just ordered another!
A little of me feels that I am betraying my other Spydies :D but does anyone else neglect the others for a favourite child and in particular for the Delica?
Regards,
Simon.
Need anything more than a Delica?!!

Aloha my brother Simon G!
My Delica left my EDC for a while as I was having fun with a BM Axis locker known as the 555...
The Delica has returned though! LOL! It has been and always will be one of if not my favorite :spyder: 's!
God bless you bro!

Probably my Endura.
I have 12 knives and tend to reach for the light , strong ones.
My 2-week old Endura is my new #1 pick for EDC.
It was very nice of you to leave you Delica with your friend 2.

I love my Delica. The only :spyder: I would by choice EDC over it is my Standard, which is really a G10 Delica in my books. The Delica was the 1st Spyderco I meet. Fell in love with it on the spot. Great knife.
That said I'm forced to EDC a Meerkat most of the time based on size of blade and low pocket carry
Love my 'kat but it's not a Delica.

I have carried a 50/50 ATS-55 Delica for the last five years. I carry it for several reasons: light, strong, easy to open and close one-handed, fits my hand like a glove, hasn't failed me yet. I've used it to cut battery cables, cable ties, open boxes, pop balloons :D , cut open blister packs, you name it; anything but as a prybar! As Stevie Ray said, there are reasons why the Delica and Endura are Spyderco's best sellers.

Aloha Simon!

God bless!

Delica, yes.
I have the Endura, Dragonfly, and the Delica FRN PE. Like all of them but I am always carrying my Delica. It's an older model no metal clip,it has an FRN clip on it. I don't even know it's clipped to/in my pocket until I need it. I like the Dragonfly as it fits my hand and opens quicker than the Endura or Delica for me at least. I will keep carrying my Delica tho. I really like it, but I have not had a Spyderco I didn't like. (;-))
Aloha cdf!
I will second your G10 Delica...and since they'd do that, I could go for a G10 Endura as well!!!
I know my brother in CA would just "eat it up" if these legends were in G10! :D

A G-10/VG-10 Delica (tip-up of course) may be about the only thing that could give my Millie a run for it's money for pocket time.

The replacement Delica, as per first post, arrived today :D
Clipped straight into the front pocket, just where it is supposed to be :cool:
So, to the question that is the title to this thread, "Do I need anything more than a Delica?!!
NO!
But what fool said anything about NEED?
Regards,
Simon.

Been looking through the archives this evening(girlfriend and daughter watching soaps :eek: :eek: )
After almost 2 weeks of non stop carry I can wholeheartedly say that I don't NEED another Spydie than my Delica 3/SE

My most two carried Spydies are the PE Delica 4 that I have and my black bladed Paramilitary.
Right now I'm carrying my SS D'fly but it's just not the same. When I get home the Para and Delica 4 will go back on me. :)
Right now I'm pretty sure that I don't need any more Spydies for a long time considering that they are all users.
