I really want one. I want an orange one. What do you guys think about delicas? Orange?
 
It's very bright and with the Delica a decent amount of the handle sticks out of your pocket so it gets noticed around town. But if you want the hi-viz for the woods then maybe it's what you want.
I love the Delica. The ZDP version is my favorite.
 
I just got my first one last week. I got the emerson bladed one. I really like it a lot and its a great edc.
 
Delicas are great edc knives in my opinion. They are thin enough to disappear in the pocket or waistband, which I really like, and they are available in a ton of different configurations as well, so you can get one that will serve you the best. I just received my second Delica this, time with zdp instead of vg10, and it cuts phonebook paper like a laser. As for the orange, I haven’t seen one in person so I can’t help you there.
 
I want an orange and a serrated black one pretty bad. I just haven't got around to purchasing them. Funds are low as well.
 
I love my Delica 4. I have the brown version simply because I think the brown scales with the black clip looks really nice (my first one and got it in a few days ago). As for what I think of the Delica 4 over all, what are you waiting for? Pick one up. It's a great EDC blade especially for the price point.

Thanks guys, you have been really helpful. $50 is a lot of money for me so I have to be really happy with the knife.
 
I have a few more in addition to these. I've been rockin' a green one lately. I just dig the green with black clip, but they are all good.

Once you really start getting into knives, $50 will seem like nothing when you're considering a knife that costs $100, $200 and even upwards of $400. :eek: You have been warned and there is no cure for the addiction.

Haha thanks :) once I get a job I think I'll start buying more, and more lol.
 
Well, I have entirely the wrong knife in entirely the wrong color (Endura 4, black), but I can say that the Delica's larger sibling is entirely awesome in every respect. From what I know the blade:handle ratio of the Delica is a little more skewed in favor of the the handle, but I still think it's a great knife. If you need a locking folder of that size (beyond I certain point, I think, why not a slipjoint?), I'd vote for the Delica 4 over everything else I've tried.
 
I'm currently carrying my 62 dollar delica over three other knives I own that cost 225, 187 and 155 respectively if that tells you anything about how the delica matches up. Just pull the trigger it worth it.
 
Go ahead and pick one up. It's an excellent little EDC blade. I carried one with my ZT 0560(long gone) for quite a while. I have also enjoyed several Endura's.

I really like the blue and the orange. I'm one who doesn't really care if someone else knows I'm carrying a knife. But it's not extremely obvious anyways. I say get one and get the color you like best. I enjoy colored knives.
 
Same, I don't care if people know I have a blade. Most people don't care to look at your pockets anyways. Even if they see something orange they won't think any of it. I have a few more expensive blades and I still don't like spending 50 for a blade. I'm stuck on 20-40$ kershaws at the moment.
 
My favorite Delica is the British Racing Green ZDP-189 also. My first was the older saber grind version I picked up as a cheap user on the bay and I still have it as a beater/loaner knife. I have 2 FFG ZDP Delicas that I include in my EDC rotation and they get more use than knives costing 2-3 times as much.
