Good stuff. ^
I never had a Delica but I have an Orange one incoming. I need to try one.

I didn't mention before that I didn't care much for the Delica at first, but when I started to carry it as a work edc, it quickly grew on me.
Well I called up Spyderco last week to order a couple of stainless steel clips for the Delica and Endura with my credit card in hand, I was greeted by a friendly young lady who was going to take my order.
Her computer wouldn't come online so she told me it was my lucky day and she would have to send them out no charge.
She took my information and I got them today
I got two for the Delica and one for the Endura(they appear to be identical)
I was and have always been impressed with their customer service and my respect for Sal and company continues to grow by leaps and bounds as my Spyderco collection grows and I spend more time on this and the Spyderco factory forum
All I can say is
Thank You Spyderco

Hey, so when is the next computer out day at Spyderco? :cool: Sweet deal PC - good for you and good for Spyderco to be so good to their customers. Nice little collection you have there. I like wires and stainless clips.

Thanks,
that's just what I had out at the time, I have a few more Spydies than just those.
 
My entire knife collection is 3 Spydercos and I managed to start 3 for 3 on getting Spydies with wire clips. The Clip on my DF2 is a little bent but doesn't function any less than it did brand new. The clips on my Chaparral and Techno have been absolutely rock solid, other than the normal slight bendiness. I've noticed that my non-thumb fingers use the clip on my Techno to help grip the knife when I'm opening it and I haven't noticed any issues so far.
 
I can relate.^ It's a perfect size for EDC.
I recently got an Endura and I forget how big it is. I now like the smaller size in a folder.

How 'bout a Ti wire pocket clip? :)

Don't mean to pick on you but this is one thing that bugs me a lot. Titanium would actually be a worse material for write clips because while by weight it is stronger and has a slightly higher elastic modulus (I.e. springiness) than steel, by volume it's less. So a titanium write clip would have to be like 50% thicker to be noticeably more solid than a steel one. You might save a marginal amount of weight, but it would look really weird. This is why Ti clips tend to be much thicker and less springy than steel ones, and why stock clips are almost always steel. </rant>
 
I used to have an orange Delica and my cousin took it from me minutes after she saw it lol I had to buy another one. The one I have now is grey but I still like the look of the orange one a little more :foot:
 
I really don't care for the Ti clip on my Tasman. It's too stiff or something. The hourglass is the best one for me. :)

No problem lol. Terminology like "stronger", "tougher", and "more rigid" get thrown around a lot interchangeably even though they're actually 3 different things. It's hard to tell the difference unless you've taken a materials course or something.

For the record though, I'm a fan of wire clips where they're used. I think they complement the aesthetics of some knives very well.
 
I've had no issues with any Spyderco clips. My DB clip did get caught on my seat belt once, but I caught it in time so it didn't yank the knife out of my pocket. I like all the Spydie clips to be honest. The wire clip on my Sage does help it disappear in the pocket, and wearing black suit pants, its even harder to see. So, I can agree, a wire clip on a Delica would be interesting.
 
The thing I like best about the wire clip is that it's easier on clothes, furniture, and car paint jobs.

If the only knife I had was a Delica I could be happy.

I'd have to agree. I just today received my first Delica, a ZDP Spyderedge, and I can't believe what I was missing out on! It's ALMOST the perfect feeling knife for me (but then again so are the PM2, Manix 2, Stretch..lol). I will definitely be buying a HAP40 sprint and probably a superblue to match my manbug and stretch.
