I recently ordered a delica ffg in blue from amazon. I haven't received it yet but I'm thinking maybe I should just spend a little more and get either a PM2 or a carbon fiber sage. Anyone have all three? Which one would you get?
 
Time to just focus on the positive aspects of the Delica instead of second guessing things. :) The FFG Delica may be the flagship model of the Spydie lineup, and you could do worse than having it as your primary EDC. So enjoy it, use it and love it. Its a sweet knife. The others are dandy too. But don't sweat your Delica purchase. You did the right thing.

I had the Delica ZDP-189 and have several PM2s, I definitely like the PM2 over the Delica mostly because I prefer G10 and comp lock over FRN and Back lock, however the main problem I had with the Delica was the over thick saber grind, I'd still have it too if it were FFG. The Delica is less noticeable/slimmer/lighter in pocket than the PM2 and with the thinner blade stock will slice better.
 
I did the same thing when i got the delica, i soon traded it for something else and now i regret it, i haven't lost may i regret but thats one, i'm thinking of getting it back again ow. everyones different of course, but the delica is one i wish i'd hung onto. :(
 
I have the blue one as well and I love it. Yes the Para 2 is maybe the more superior knife however I will never give up my delica. It's not one of the most popular knives in the market for no reason. Just enjoy your purchase and you can always get something else if your not into it.
 
My blue Endura doesn't seem to look the same as online pictures, it has almost more of a very-very light greenish tint to it. I'm not so much of a fan of either of these knives, but you didn't ask for that. :D
 
I had a similar experience when I first received my Delica. It's just too small for MY hands. Once I got the Endura it was love at first grip. I still carry the Delica occasionally as its a good knife and a good collectible.
 
I actually own all 3 of those knives (even the blue Delica) and I really am using the Delica more than the PM2 and the Sage1. The Delica is one I always seem to grab when I head out. It's a tough knife that will stand up to most if not all of what I put it through. I prefer it because it's light, slim, and not too costly (ie. if were to get lost). If you prefer a g10 or CF handle then go for the PM2 or the Sage1 of course at higher cost, but honestly Delica is a great choice of EDC, I'm sure you will enjoy it.
