I`m ordering a couple off stuff from a webside, and was just browsing around, and saw a SpyderCo Raven on sale. I`ve been watching a couple of videos on youtube, and was just looking for a quick opinion from you guys.
I own no SpyderCo but I belive the general opinion of this brand is pretty high.If I had the money right now I`d order a Delica.

I`d like to order soon, so it would be nice if someone could give his or her opinion.

Oh, just saw they have a SpyderCo Robin for the same price.
 
Have a raven. It is a lot of knife for the price. No problems. It doesn't seem to hold an edge as long as some others, but it is inexpensive, and easy to sharpen as well.
 
Raven is quite a bit bigger than a Delica. Excellent knife, but Delica is definitely higher quality.
 
I think I paid $16 for mine, that’s a lot of knife for less then a movie, pop and popcorn.
 
I don't have a Raven, but based on the byrd knives I do own, it'll be a good knife for the money. 8Cr13MoV is a decent enough blade steel, and F&F will be pretty good to excellent. (My G-10 Crossbill is, honestly, better finish-wise than some of my mainline Spyderco knives that were three or four times the price.)
 
My Dear old Raven, i bought it some years ago, still does it's thing with charm.
It fits my hand better than any other spyderco designed knife.
 
I have a Raven in G10 and I have to agree its finish is quite good. Better than some of my Seki Spyderco's.

I have a Raven, and I LOVE it. It's a decent knife, but for the price you get it for is an amazing deal. The lockup is totally solid. No play at all. I ordered mine alongside a SOG Trident Tanto (which I got for around $70 as opposed to the Raven which was $25). I like the Raven much better.
