Thinking Spyderco Delica 4, user opinions wanted

Those are the two reasons why the Delica is different and better for some tasks than those other spydercos. The Delica seems sturdier for a lot of the work I do than the full flat grind blades. They both have their strengths so I find it hard to part with my D4. It's an easy to carry, quality knife that you can rely on for quite a number of tasks.

My VG-10 D4 is my garage knife. That's because it has a strong blade and it can cut down boxes and stuff really well. With regards to the Saber grind, it's not my favorite and out the box; it wasn't performing the way I expected. But what I did was polish the entire primary bevel and smoothed over the hump where the bevel starts. Now it will push cut cardboard much better than before.

I looks a bit weird and I screwed up the tip a bit when I was first learning to use paper wheels for sharpening but it's a great little knife regardless. One thing I learned recently about VG-10 is that it tends to roll instead of chip and allows you to steel the blade and restore the edge for a longer lasting edge.
