A question for you Delica lovers- are the handles of the Salt 2 the same as the Delica 4?

I'm liking the look of some of those aftermarket scales, but I only have a Salt 2...
No. I don't believe any of those would work. The Salt 2 is a linerless knife and the delica has liners.
Thanks.

Imma let you finish, but the Rockjumper is the greatest work knife ever made.

Serrated, of course. A bit bigger, but not too much, and a nicer handle for hard use. Especially if you're wearing gloves. I hope it shows up in a few exclusives/sprints with interesting steels.

(Can make a solid case for the Endela Wharncliffe too, for those who think the Delica is too small for getting dirty.)

It doesn't have the deliciously thin blade stock of the delica though.

Right now, there are lots of steel choices for Delica4 and companion Salt2 Lightweight Wharncliffe FRN folders:

  • VG-10: $88.20
  • S30V: $98.00
  • H1: $102.90
  • 20CV: $109.95
  • K390: $123.20
  • LC200N: $124.25

My favorite and the only one I have and use is Salt2 LC200N Wharncliffe SpyderEdge Green FRN.

Wow, I'm amazed at how relatively inexpensive the S30V is. I had decided to pass on this one but heck it's the second cheapest version! I have the other versions also.... ok stop it!

SO, since I am new, is the LC200N steel the best all around steel then the others listed above?

Also, why is the yellow handled Salt wharnecliffe knife have a different grind to it than all the other wharncliffe blades? It is a half grind meaning the top half of the blade is thicker than the other standard models.. ???
In God we trust, ALL others are checked through NCIC

I’m not the one struggling with an inferiority or superiority complex because of my hand size here. Only you have been the benchmark of that on this forum ;)

Except that isn’t at all what it’s about. You brought up a random year old thread just to remind the spyderco forum you have too large of hands for the delica. Pretty cringe dude
