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.

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.

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.
