Spyderco Forums

I've carried a Delica of some sort since they 1st came out. I currently own 2 - a SE ZDP-189, and a FFG in Brown FRN. I originally bought my 1st Delica as an inexpensive beater to replace my Harpy that I'd pawned. The Harpy was the 1st Spydero I'd ever owned, but I wanted a more traditional blade sh...

My sample group of 8CR consists of 3 Kershaws. I was impressed with none of them. Edge holding was less than my VG10 Spydercos or 154CM Benchmades. Sharpening them was easy enough, but occasionally they seemed to develop a burr that I'd have to get past to get a good edge. I gave 2 away & held o...

Got by with a Delica on some hiking trips & out in the field in the Army.

Sage LW in Spy27 with cobalt blue FRN.

I was curious what all the fuss was about the Civivi Elementum, so I picked up one with copper scales over Black Friday. I really like it. It is the first non-Spydie I have bought in a long time besides a SAK. It's a great flipper with good action and a reasonable heft to it for a small knife. It's...

Probably my Chaparral LW for any package slicing.

Long ago when my boys were small, I stopped using a knife for Xmas duties and grabbed a pair of EMT Shears.

Happy birthday Lance, hope it was a good one.

Carried a Delica for a good bit of my time as an Army Medic, probably still would.

My work EDC for a while now has been the Civivi Baby Banter. I like it enough that I got a second one. It feels very good in-hand, and it's small size does not make the knife muggles at work nervous. My 1st was a regular Nitro V blade version that I added aftermarket space kitty scales from Knafs. M...

Really hoping for another run of these. Even better would be a change in steel to Cruwear.

Sucks to not be watching my Braves after the **** of a season they had. I'm hoping MLB takes another look at how the playoffs are done. Oh well, as long as the Phillies are out I am happy.

I handled them at BLADE and I liked them, BUT I'm not a fan of the steel. Lots of other options in that price range with steels I prefer like Nitro V or Sandvik 14.

Handled this at BLADE this year and really liked it. My only concern is if I would be able to properly sharpen Maxamet using my Norton med grit stone or my Spyderco Ceramic med grit stone.

And a bonus of the Taurus snub revolvers is 6 rounds compared to the typical 5.

Ruger LCR is my pick. I use to own a S&W 36-2. Shot it well enough, but always thought the trigger could use some work. Then I traded into a Ruger LCR. Better trigger, no hammer to snag, and I shoot it slightly better. About the only thing I found better about the S&W J-frames is they are s...

Braves are giving me 90's Choke during the post-season flashbacks.

One's sitting on my bookcase:

Delica
Chaparral LW
Rhino
Lil'Temp 3
Caly 3

Delica.

Lil'Temp & Caly 3 are close behind.

I've carried every version of the Delica - from the 1st to the current 4th. Ergonomics are perfect for my hand, does everything I need a knife to do, and it's not so expensive or rare that I'm afraid to use it.

Most of my knives will be going to my oldest son who inherited the knife-nut gene. The remainder will be split between my youngest son & friends/family. That said, my ashes will be scattered near my Army Unit's memorial on Ft. Campbell. I have thought about leaving one of my knives on it to be u...
