The Delica was my 1st Spyderco. Still have it and love it (plastic clip and all). One heck of a cutting machine in a small & light package.
 
The Delica is a perfect EDC size that i always keep coming back to & will be a constant companion together with other knives for usual carry.
 
I carried a Delica 3 from 1998 until January of this year. At that time I changed to a Delica 4.
Went on a spree this year and bought a bunch of the different variants. All the colors currently available. Even found white. Serrated, combo edge, plain edge, zdp and G10 have all found their way to my mailbox this year. :D
 
Just got mine in yesterday the Delica ZDP 189 and let me tell you I'm impressed with the over all feel of the knife. The blade is wicked sharp, tried it on my arm and the little sucker shaves. This is my first knife but surely won't be my last. Great EDC !!

Congratulations on an excellent knife purchase. :thumbup:
 
Let me tell you: the Delica is a great knife (my favorite user), and it's even better when you grind down the stupidly placed humps on the handle. I did that on all of mine, including my Enduras, and now they're perfect.

I'm sure we would all love to see pictures of the results!
 
Great design.

Was my first Spyderco and while a big fan of many other Spyderco offerings its still the go-to knife most days.

Tell me what you think. I only have one Endura there that's untouched.

You can see that I ground some of the Delicas a little more than others. The gray one feels the best while the blue one feels the "worst" (not bad, though.)

Personally, it doesn't look like there's much of a difference to me.
 
The Delica was my 1st Spyderco, which, like many others on here .. turned into many. funny how that seems to happen :-) Still have the Delica 4 that started it all for me .. but these days, the Delica 4 ffg always rides along in my back pocket.
