I managed to acquire another Hap40 Delica recently after snapping the tip off the blade of my first one .
So here is a pictorial account of my afternoon of unboxing and mutilation .
There are two things you need to understand about my relationship with the Hap40 Sprint line of Spyderco knives .
I love the Steel , but the color of the scales reminds me of the curtains in a 1970's cheap motel .
Within minutes of opening the box my Hap40 blade was nestled in the Blue scales of another recently acquired Sprint ZDP189 Sabre grind Delica from 2006 .
I've carried it twice , love the unusual Blue scales , but the Sabre grind is not my top choice even though ZDP189 is top shelf Steel in my opinion .
So I now have my favored steel in my favored scales , and a Sabre grind ZDP189 in Burnt Motel Orange that will probably never see the light of day ever again .
