Spyderco Endura or Delica?

[JoepReinen]

I'm looking around for a Spyderco.
Now I'm looking at a Delica or a Endura.
What are the pro's and cons off both?
Thanks

I have to say delica... it is an awesome little knife to me whereas endura i am sending off this morning.

I prefer the Delica as well, but it really depends on what blade length suits YOU better.

The Delica is a bit better for discrete carry. I find the Endura great for camping/fishing/outdoor work, but its a bit too big for EDC. YMMV.

I am gonna carry it as EDC
But when I'm going outdoors I wanna use it to
I think I'm going with the Delica

If you like or are into smaller knives get the Delica, just the opposite with the Endura.

What are you going to use the knife for ? That makes a difference on which model you get. I started out witha Delica, didn't use it that much.

Just the opposite with the Endura. I really liked it a lot when I first got into knives. I got the zdp version.

If you have big or bigger hands,like I do, the Delica handle probably isn't going to be big/long enough for you. Again just the opposite with the Endura.

The cutting edge, not blade length, is going to be about 2.6 on the Delica and 3.6 on the Endura.

Hope this helps with your decision.

I like big knives.

Delica is plenty of blade for most tasks.

I say endura its pretty much the same knife only bigger. It is easier to make a big knife do small things, than it is to make a small knife do big things. Just my .02

Endura for me.

 

[NateReed]

Just get both. You'll end up doing that anyway

Endura is my pick between the two. Always thought of them as a his and hers duo.

Endura is too big for ME to EDC but many people do, especially in the back pocket. It's pretty long but also quite flat so it packs pretty well for it's size, rather like the military only more so. If you get the version with the wave feature (licensed from Emerson) that adds quite a bit to the size in pocket.

Delica 4 FFG for me.

Endura is my choice. The size is good for me, and it takes up no pocket space, as I carry it in a horizontal belt sheath at 5 o'clock on my belt.

Endura fits my hand better, and has been an EDC with no issues for 8 years.

Delica is plenty of blade for most tasks.

But kinda annoying when you can't fully slice through an apple, onion, or tomato.

That's why I prefer the Endura (I have the zdp version).

My D & R.
That Delica is new... the detente has the force of a mouse trap!

 

[Humppa]

Just get both. You'll end up doing that anyway

My own thoughts as well...

 

[zl1]

Endura!

I like the endura best overall, but I think the delica is better for smaller utility tasks around sheeple.
