The Delica is freaking awesome.

Bought my first Delica about a month ago, and am hooked. Really like my two British Green with ZDP 189 one with deep pocket carry clip, the other with no clip and just dropped into pocket. Will probably be selling the Black VG10 and Zome VG10, unless I gift them to grandchildren first.

But, as nice as the Delica is for it's niche, it's just not in the same class as the PM2.

PM2 is totally amazing. But the problem is, (some) people get scared when they see it. And for EDC, it's a bit big.

I have to admit that I've never been a fan of the Spyderco aesthetics, the leaf blade isn't my taste at all, and I'm not into tactical knives in the slightest. That said, I've been on a knife binge lately and I've been looking at getting my very first Spyderco: either a Delica 4 or Endura (bright orange caught my eye too, it'll stand out in the bush). All the reviews for the Delica are superb but from pictures alone it seems underwhelming, at least the plastic handle. But I've had the same thoughts about a few knives from pictures, then when I carried them I was blown away.

But, I think I'm going to do it in the next month or two. I need to see what all the buzz is about!

You will not be disappointed I scoffed at Delicas for 3 years before I took the leap and never looked back.

BTW I always thought the Delica (and PM2/3, Military) was more of a "bird beak" shape than leaf shaped. Manix, Native, Chaparral, etc, this are the leaf blades to me.
 
Never owned a "Modern" knife. From the reading I have done, I would like to try one, and thought the Delica might be the best one to try first. Where would be the best place to get a good price and what would a good price actually be? BTW, I too like the bright orange best. Also, how difficult is it to learn the one handed opening method? Thanks.

Larry,
The best price would be found at campsaver.com. They have a 20% off coupon code right now (twnty20) and free shipping. Spyderco has map pricing so anywhere you look they are going to be the same price, unless you buy one on the secondary market or with a discount code like at campsaver.

Which one handed opening method are you referring to? The Spydie flick?

The delica was the first spyderco I saw in the mid 90s. I never liked them and bought barettas until I could afford benchmades. I love g-sakai knives but alas still not in to the delica. HOWEVER this image is quite amazing! I laughed at the pink ones.

Awesome delica collection. To bad the dude doesn’t have the single coolest Delica.

I've been looking at lots of that's and I've decided I'm going to try to buy a delica from boomer52 with his scales and choil mod. If you haven't looked at his work go do it, he's making what I feel the delica should be.

I don’t think you’ll regret your decision.
I have a hap40 Delica with the boomer lil para scales. Hands down most carried/used folder over the last 2 years. Some guys may not like that it adds a bit of length to the handle tho.
 
I love the Delica and always make a full circle back to it .
Just ordered the last Delica sprint run in V-Toku2 I could find :thumbsup: and a Manbug V-Toku2 to keep it company in my coin pocket :D
