Like a couple of my countrymen also posted, I also bought a Delica FRN, mine in SE. They have good taste. I believe the year was around '92-'93.

Used it for wilderness camping, canoeing and climbing; cutting rope and webbing, opening food packages, etc.

My first was the aluminum cricket, which was sadly quickly lost. :mad: Replaced with a less expensive (ie, less painful to replace) Dragonfly. I would say that was my first, since I left my Cricket lying around somewhere only days after I got it. :eek:

Someday, I'll track down another aluminum cricket... they're just so hard to find. :confused:

My first was an SS Police, then a bunch of others all over the spectrum from production to customs. Then I was swayed by a Military and haven't looked back since.

My first Spydie was the SS Delica SE. Got it about 12 going on 13 years ago. It's pretty beat up, but still very functional and just as sharp as when I first got it. ;)

God Bless :)

SS Mariner without the shackle hole on the side...I needed money for a Military and so sold it, and it has been resold for a premium. :mad:

Then an original Worker, then a PE Zytel Endura...which I re-worked, and still have... :)
