Man, I just LOVE that green one so much!

Where is the cheapest place I can order one? :D

Or should I wait until they're more distributed so I could score it on ebay for a cheap BIN price? ;)
 
Knifeworks has them at a good price, I ordered a green and blue Delica, and I also ordered a grey and green Endura.
 
Just ordered the FFG Delica in Green. Pretty excited, this is my first Delica!

My other Spydies are a Dragonfly and a Hawkbill.
 
I could have bought the whole set with that collector's number but i was buying from a local dealer and their prices were MSRP, nearly twice as much as they are going for online.

Kiss Me Deadly: you are going to want to tighten all the body screws when you get it, each of my FFG delicas came a little lose out of the box. there's a little side to side play on the blade out of the box but once you adjust the pivot screw that disappears.
 
I got my green FFG Delica on Friday and played with it over the weekend. You'd better believe that sucker's SHARP! Yipes! It's a wicked little knife, it kind of reminds me of a long-bladed box cutter. As long as you don't try to pry with the thing, I don't think you'll find many more-efficient blades. I plan on convexing mine once I manage to dull it, and then it will be a scalpel! I like it!

If Spyderco decides to do large runs of these, I expect we'll see a bunch of posts here from idiots who snap the tips or ding the blades. These very thin, pointy blades will require a certain amount of intelligence and/or common sense not to booger up.

Mine just arrived today. Ordered from KnifeWorks so I could use my paypal balance, actually.

Surprisingly - The pivot screw on mine felt really stiff out of the box. Definitely no blade play at all, it's solid. I'll make sure to keep an eye on it over time, however.

The body screws, though, WERE a tad loose - So that experience is the same for me.

The knife is beautiful, though. Most definitely love it. I'm almost afraid to use it not just because of how insanely sharp it is, but you can definitely tell that the blade requires some caution so not to damage it in any way. (Especially compared to my D'fly which feels almost indestructible.)

I actually bought the Delica to be my new EDC, but I might just be sticking with the D'fly if only because I love this Delica too much to risk it's well being. :D

Very happy with this purchase, either way - If I missed out on one of these I'd definitely live to regret it. Green is my favorite color, and I've been in the market for a Delica ever since I got into Spyderco.

One note I need to make - And I've seen it mentioned about a lot of recent Spydercos - But there is a small imperfection inside of the spyder hole. Instead of it being perfectly smooth like my D'fly there's a small rivet, or like, dent along the inside of the hole which I'm sure is an issue going on in the factory since I'm not the first person to complain about it. Honestly doesn't bother me much, though - It's one of those things you only notice if you're looking for it. ;)
