Hmmmm.....my wife wouldn't have any problem opening the blade on this baby! My toddler might think is is candy from the color. Oh....my eyes! LOL
Pink isn't my color, BUT for Spydies I would make an exception. Thanks for the scan!
James M. - what kind of scanner do you have? My Microtek is junk compared to yours.

Agfa Snapscan 1212 along with the software that came with it. Inexpensive.

Hi,
The pink Delica has all of the same "tactical" features/function that the black one does. Screaming pink does have a couple of advantages however. To many people it makes the knife seem harmless, less threatening (take it out at a barbeque and someone always says it's "cute"). Also, it's really easy to find if you drop it in tall grass, snow or at night on pavement!

Right you are Joyce.
I like it because it's the same color as the sports bag I use to carry my judo gi in. No one has commented on that, at least to my face.

I ordered one from Chai Cutlery and I`m not ashamed to admit that it`s for me! I`m going to use it at work for the reasons the Joyce just outlined. I`ve had more that one person at work cringe at my CRICKET!! So I`m going for cute, inoffensive, etc, etc...
Hope this works.

It's getting late and I probably think too much, but here's an idea:
Do you think anyone will mistake the pink Delica for a highlighter marking pen if I carry it in my shirtpocket? (No doubt the old style plastic-handled version, which was also done in pink at one time, would be more convincing.) Do you think Spyderco would make one in fluorescent yellow?

Yeah! I'll take a black one too! After all, black knives work better, right?
Forget about using a "cute" "non threatening" knife to do "real work" and make a few knife converts along the way.
Oh....never mind....I sound like an idiot.
Make it a pink (or yellow, or blue) one after all.

The original pink delica is the only knife my wife would carry, and she carries it to this day. Once she went camping with a bunch of my friends (I stayed home due to an injury) and the pink delica turned out to be the only real using knife in the group (can't do food prep with 9" bowies!). It made it through with flying colors.
I'm going to update her knife with one of these, and maybe one for myself, too.

By the way, I'm getting requests for Pink Delicas in plain edge, and all I have is the toothy ones. Are there any in plain edge?

Maybe that color is intended to make the knife as non-combative as possible. My memory is hazy after umpteen years, but I recall a paint job ("Baker-Miller Pink, or something like that) like that on the walls of a holding cell at Los Angeles Police Dept. headquarters where they put combative arrestees to calm them down.
Our little group was't in that cell, but in the cell across the way from it, and the only knife I was carrying was an SAK that I had to check in, and got back when they turned us loose an hour later.
