Long time knife carrier but first time spydie owner. My Delica 4 came in the mail yesterday. Great looking box, first off. I immediately opened it up and started flicking this badboy. At first, the action was a little stiff, like all knives. But since last night it opens VERY smooth. The knife is easy to find in my pocket, it almost jumps into my hands everytime I reach for it. I have some cuts on my finger from playing with closing it one-handed ... but I am getting the hang of it. Curse my small girlish hands! My girlfriend even had to tell me 'Quit playing with your damn knife it's not a toy', to which I replied 'It's not a toy, it's a tool, but it's fun to play with.'
The things that impressed me the most with this knife is this:
* Ergonomics
Probably the most comfortable knife I've ever held in my hands.
* Simplicity and quality
A fan of "KISS" , these knives are really solid. A simple design but with the strength of ten men. This thing is truly a work horse and I have no worry about the lock failing me (such as with a liner or newer locking mechanisms.) A very solid design, no blade play. Opens with a satisfying click.
* Sharp
This thing was very sharp out of the box. I did a few cutting tests with paper and cardboard and it sure did work.
* Look
While my father thinks it 'looks funny' I have grown to love this knife over a day or two. While not the look of the traditional folder, the Spyderco blade design / spydie hole has really won a place in my heart (aww).
My next purchase will be a SS Dragonfly.
