Help me identify a Spyderco Delica

[whardi]

Hello,
This is a C11SBK, VG10 blade, with a barrel screw and a David Boyle dent. Is this a Delica III/3? I have found several Spyderco guides but I cannot trace this one down.

Yep, classic serrated Delica III.

David sums it up in this thread, with comments from Sal.

I thought it went like this:

Delica I = Plastic molded clip with pinned construction. Mine had Gin-1 steel. The butt of the knife was more rounded.

Delica II = Stainless knife with 3 clip screws holding the clip on. Pinned construction, and the butt of the knife was still rounded.

Delica III = FRN knife with barrel bolt holding the clip on, pinned construction, and the butt of the knife was squared off due to the barrel bolt.

Delica 4 = FRN and Stainless. Stainless being pinned construction and FRN being screwed construction. Clip held on with 3 screws and the butt of the knife is rounded. Knife has dual full liners that are nested.

Thank you so much. I need to get better with my searching skills.

No problem, that will come with time, welcome to the forum.

Nice knife you have there. Sometimes I preffer the Delica III over the Delica IV myself - love the simplicity and efficiency of the older model.
