.I've put aside my eccentric more "specialized" folders to carry a Superblue Delica for a couple days. There are obvious little things I would "fix" from a tad more handle to a bit more of a pointy tip. Others would add a choil, a feature I'm tiring of but totally understand the preference.
Basically it's light, doesn't develop hot spots, is sharp as heck, thin in the pocket, easy to draw and put away, and of course...very affordable.
For me it's like Spyderco over the years kept tweaking a spreadsheet until it's nearly perfect for the average person. It's a knife that can probably do anything you could dream up (for a white collar worker and most blue collars). One that along with a Stretch could pragmatically make my others obsolete.
Those other knives have highs and lows. They have more draw for me simply on a quirky level. IMHO, knives like the Delica set one **** of a standard for what a modern folding knife should be. I'll always have one in my collection and will shop for one when I need to gift a non-knife person a quintessential cutting tool. I just doubt it will ever be my favorite.
Nine points for awesome. One point lost for being predictable :p. I wish my report cards looked like that, lol.
What do you folks think?
