Should I get a Delica

My daughter works at the grocery store. I started her off with a dragonfly and moved her up to a delica. She is the envy of all the highschool stock boys. I clean and sharpen it for her about once a month. Its a VG10 - I'd like to move her up to a better blade steel sometime in the near future.
 
Yes you need one! It’s the one knife I always come back to. It ends up kicking everything else out of my pocket.

My vote is for the m390 version.
That is what I currently carry

Why such a question? It's cheap, a great knife, and sell it if you don't like it..
I would echo this statement. The Delica has never failed me (I own the ZDP189 version), has great ergos, solid lockup, fun deployment, and a variety of different steels and handle combos - what's not to love?
 
I have knives that are $1000 or more and I still want to get a delica to carry...so yeah get one.
 
Really been enjoying carrying a Spyderco lately. Specifically my K390 Paramilitary 2. I've got a couple of other Spyderco's on the way but I'm wanting a lightweight knife for gym shorts around the house. I've used a Bugout for this in the past but I'm not crazy about it lately.
The Delica is a classic and I keep thinking it's a knife I should have in the collection. Here are the others I'm considering:

Para 3 LW (love the compression lock)
Native
Manix LW

If I do go with the Delica the question then is what steel?

VG-10
Hap40
M390
Is this a trick question? Of course you should get a Delica. Any steel, any color. You won’t buy just one.
