Thank you for the chance, tvenuto.tvenuto wrote:To enter, please tell us: What is your primary cutting task? Is the knife you choose optimized for this cutting task (steel, blade geometry, size, etc), or do you choose based on something else?
My primary cutting tasks are package opening and minor food preparation. My main edc is the zdp stretch 2, which one could argue is very well suited to both of these tasks. However, I chose it based on size, ergonomics, and the rave reviews of forumites.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.
Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.

Thanks for the great giveaway Tvenuto!
My EDC is a Manix 2, and I use it mostly for light cutting duties such as cutting cardboard or sometimes food prep. I really enjoy S30-V and VG-10 steels because they hold an edge for a long time and are stainless. I think that the Delica would be great for my cutting tasks. Since I am tight on cash I think that this is an awesome chance to win a great knife, thanks again!

I admire you picking up the torch and running with it. I share your love for the delica, but I have plenty in my collection. The green is a lovely shade and I hope whom ever wins will enjoy it. You may leave me off of your list or I will defer to the number that follows mine.

Another great giveaway!! Thanks for the opportunity.
I only own 2 spyderco. Both are frn with molded clips. It is due time to upgrade to a new model. I keep my PE FRN Delica on me at all times. great EDC. light weight, perfect blade shape, and outstanding durability for me.
My other knife that sees more of the hard use is my FRN CE Pro-grip. my daily tasks range from the usual of opening packages and breaking down cardboard to lots of construction work. Stripping wire, de-burring pvc and metal pipe, trimming sheetrock, cutting zip ties, you name it. I love my old spydies, but I am looking forward to testing the newer ones, well new to me. Thanks again!!

Thanks a lot for the chance, man! Been meaning to FINALLY add a Delica to the lineup.
So, yeah -- primary cutting tasks. Well, lots of food prep lately, and I've been using my carbon steel Opinel for that.
Outside of eating, it would be -- letter/package opening, string cutting, uhm... anything and everything! My larger, do-everything edc knife rotates between a Chokwe and Manix 2 LW lately.

My primary carry knife is a paramilitary2 with various blade steels including S35VN, CTS-XHP, 20CP and M390. I primarily use it for opening packages, the mail and breaking down boxes. The steels are like using an elephant gun for hunting squirrels but I don't care. Thanks for the great opportunity!

Very generous GAW. My primary use is basically cutting shrink wrap and tape from pallets at work....opening packages, etc...I would definitely use a Delica in that role. Thanks again!

Thanks for the giveaway opportunity!
The primary task for which I call upon my knives is food prep. I don't have any of the Spyderco kitchen knives, so the knife that gets used is whatever Spyderco I have in my pocket: from my H1 Ladybug hawkbill or my orange Military to my M390 Para 2 or the Pingo, they all do food prep. Some do a better job than others, but they all get the job done, whether it be slicing vegetables, chopping spices, cutting up chicken, or spreading peanut butter (okay, I haven't used a Spydie for that last one :rolleyes :) .

Thanks for the chance, food prep, cardboard box opening and breakdown, and random thread cutting are my usual tasks. I did have to use my GB on sheet rock today for enlarging holes for CCTV cables that we installed at home.
