Bet ya'll didn't know Spyderco made a glue scraper, did you? Neither did I. 
Actually, I found yet another use for the Spyderco Delica, using the back edge to scrape softened adhesive off of our table legs. That perfectly straight spine on the back of the blade works beautifully for that purpose. When we moved over to the East Bay five+ years ago, we'd left this table disassembled in storage, with packing tape around the legs to keep them together.
Long story short, the tape adhesive 'cured', while the tape eventually fell off. This left us with some nasty glue residue, that my collection of plastic & steel scrapers & putty knives would barely touch.
Enter the straight, stiff back spine of my little Delica 4, which, by the way, has performed admirably through all the abuse I've put her through.
After a liberal application of Goof Off (Which didn't get it all off; I had to use straight lacquer thinner later):
Just a couple of the many globs of tape crud:
So, thanks, Sal & the other Spyderco folks, for making such a versatile little tool. :thumbup:
