Spyderco delica stainless

[BCG]

I'm a long time Delica fan. I've never owned one of the SS handled ones, but when I saw the titanium/damascus model I had to have one. Call me crazy but for some reason the extra half-ounce weight between the FRN model and the Titanium model kind of changed the knife for me. It just doesn't feel the same to carry.

I have a feeling the SS handled Delica will compound the problem and be too heavy for such a fine, slender knife.

YMMMV and good luck!

I like the Delica in vanilla and Salt versions, but at 4 oz. the stainless would be too heavy for its size for me.

Nothing wrong with a 4 oz. weight per se, but for just about the same weight I can carry a Military (one of my all-time favorite knives), or for 1.6 oz. less I can carry a Benchmade 940-1 with a longer blade. The Delica SS occupies a weird middle ground for me.

I picked up one at a good price in 2015. It gets a lot of carry time. Indestructible, easy to carry, and very effective.

I considered getting one with a damascus blade and sending it to an Etsy maker to get hand engraved. Someday, I'll pull the trigger. I say get it!

I had one. I learned I'm not a fan of metal handled knives. I like G10, micarta, or even FRN. I like synthetic handles for better grip, lighter weight, and easier to add a splash of colors. I have an assortment of Delica 4 FFG in various handle colors. Awesome knife.

If you use your SS knives, be prepared for scratches on the handle. Some people hate the look, others love it.

I have a FRN delica 4, back from like the 2006 timeframe - got it brand new for around $30, with vg10 steel. That is the real reason they were so popular. It's unreal to me how prices have doubled/tripled since then.

I have one. It's a very solid feeling knife. I little on the heavy side for it's size, but it still gets carried quite regularly.

I really like my stainless Delica 4. Very, very solid feeling. I used mine as my edc for awhile but now its kinda my special occasion classy carry knife. It seems like people either love them or hate them.
