Well, I finally have my own Spyderco. I was fortunate enough to win the giveaway for one of cchu518's personal knives and I chose the Delica.

A few days later I was surprised to see I already had a package from cchu518. I opened it up and found my new (to me) knife. I not used to bright colors on my knives, but I like blue and really liked the color of this knife.

With cchu518's description I expected it to be pretty rough, but I was very happy with the overall condition of the knife. It has been used a lot so it has some character. It was sharp and ready to carry but I still took it apart to do a little maintenance on it. I cleaned the scales with a toothbrush/soap, oiled it and sharpened it on my Lansky system. Afterwards I stropped it on an old belt of mine.

It was sharp when I got it, but now it is really sharp! The like traditional knives too, so it was nice to have a modern folder with that "SNAP" to it when opening and closing.:)
This is definitely going to be carried/used regularly and hopefully
Again, thanks for the knife cchu518! It won't be collecting dust!:D
Anyway, here it is.:D

Congrats. Next you'll be curious enough to get a new one. Then you'll start hanging around here and listening to all the talk. Then you'll decide you need just one more...maybe a manix, maybe a pm2. Then....there will be more! :eek:

That might turn out to be the most expensive free knife you ever won! ;) enjoy!

One turned into 12 on me in just 6 months. lol.

Enjoy the new knife OP. Good luck with the new addiction.
 
The snap of Spyderco lockback is addicting indeed! You'll want more of it, Endura, Stretch, Native, etc. etc.
I try to sate it with Cara2 ;)
 
Nice story of blades being cycled around to those who appreciate.

The Delica full flat grind is a great folder! I often EDC one in Aogami Super Blue.
