How has the handle stood up to wear and tear? Does it get dirty looking quickly? Is it fairly easy to clean?

The white really stands up to EDC very well. I've cleaned my e4 once in the last couple months and it looks fine. It was easy to clean also.

Sorry to be a little off topic, but do you think I can order a replacement clip for a White D4 from Spyderco, even though it's a Sprint Run?

i bet they have a lot of polished clips on hand. doesn't the pink d4 come with one as well?

even if not, it's easy to strip and polish a black d4 clip.

i'm happy they've switched the sprints to polished because it doesn't show scratches as much and i think it's very nice looking.

A sprint run is a special limited production of a knife.

It can either be a variation on an existing model, or a small amount of a previously discontinued model, sometimes with updates to it's design.

For instance:

The standard Delica 4 is a black handle.

Currently there is a sprint run of Pink and White handles available with polished clips.

Welcome to the Forums... and...

Don't feel bad.
For over a year I read it as "Spirit Run" because I am dumb and dyslexic.


All the smart folks here are very nice and love answering questions... so Ask away :D

Is the construction of the white Delica the same as the construction of the Delica 4? (meaning does it have screws and liners, etc.)

There is a burr on two spots on the PE section. I'm actually a fan of CE on the D4. This knife has the uneven lockbar as well. I don't mind the latter, but the burr is annoying.

It still shaves hair, i'll just have to put it on the coarse rods for a while to get that thing out.
