Spyderco Delica knive review by Nutnfancy

nutnfancy — September 29, 2008 — The Delica is one of my favorite EDC blades. And with all the hundreds of PMs I get regarding EDC knife options, it's time I made a separate review of the Delica and place it in one of my specific playlists to aid my subscribers' research. As addressed in the video however, the current Delica 4 is less preferred by me than the previous generation Delica 3. That's because it's heavier, has unnecessary steel liners, a smaller pocket clip, and a steeper grind. The Delica 3 was nearly perfect and it should have been left alone (except for adding jimping). The Spyderco Delica is not a tactical or heavy-use EDC blade and adding stainless steel liners, albeit skeletonized, was a dumb move by Spyderco. Of course for most users the mere .6 oz addition is forgiveable and the Delica 4 is still an outstanding EDC blade option. There's still LOTS to like in the Delica 4: Fast deployment, tight lock-up, perfectly sized blade (not too big, not too small), excellent clip that's reversible, adequate traction on the grip, and it's light enough. And it features the excellent VG10 steel. Indeed, despite it's "improvements" the Delica 4 is still at the top of my list for EDC choices.
