A Delica. 
Saw one at the knife show today and just decided to get one. All of my other Spydercos are large so, I figured a smaller one would be a good addition. I'll probably carry this as a backup to my EDC. Fit and finish on the knife are pretty good...flawless grinds good lockup. Unfortunately the dealer had some other Spydercos that really had some lockup problems, vertical and horizontal movement. So far, I really like the Delica. Fits fairly well in my XL hand, although a slightly longer handle would be better. Most importantly, it's extremely light. I've come to appreciate this more since carrying around my Chinook lately! The steel is ATS-55...the VG-10 one they had did not lock up very well. I happen to like ATS-55 ok so, it's not really an issue.
On another note, my friend went with me to the show and picked up a plain edge Endura. I had been telling him for a long time about Spyderco, I guess he finially listened, making the Endura his first Spyderco ever. He had been playing around with some of my Spydercos for a while so, he knew how great they were. The Endura is a replacement for a tanto voyager that was stolen earlier...wasn't really a good knife anyway.
I guess it being stolen was a good thing since it lead to the purchase of his first Spyderco.
