Product Description
The Delica has long been a staple of Spyderco’s EDC lineup. It’s lightweight, has a well-designed handle and versatile blade, and comes with a pocket clip for carry on the right or left side, tip-up or tip-down Read More
magic_devilethis is one of the more popular knives on the market, so theres tons of third party custom scales you can buy. not the easiest locking system to take apart yourself but with a good youtube video its not that tough.
my edc knife of choice. Its very light and compact, yet very comfortable to hold and use. I have not been disappointed by the blade while carrying it 2 years from light and precise use to minor abuse with copper wires and some carving. I simply love this knife.
This is a good deal, one of the few and far between that you will find that puts the price of Spyderco knives under their normal MAP pricing. They also had a price increase this year so while it was around $65 in 2017, it has gone up pretty much everywhere except a handful of areas, like Amazon. If you are on the fence I would tell you to get it. It's a great EDC knife, just under 3" blade, fully ambidextrous, and good quality Japanese steel that will not let you down. I have had 3 over the years and currently own a brown version. The saber ground model (older version) is a really great edc with a thick blade that can take a great edge, but the newer version with the FFG (Full Flat Ground) blade is truly a slicer that can hold its own with anything you put in its way, not to mention it is relatively easy to sharpen back up. However, if you really want precision-style cutting I'd suggest the wharncliffe version, which has done a superb job in my pocket.
Fireman9170$58 here lol , but at least w Amazon there is no waiting and there are color options. MD does the pouch gimmick in order to get around MAP pricing.
I was going to buy this in blue off of BladeHQ, but they raised their price from $68 to $75, I don't know if it came with the pouch or not but did anyone else notice this?
ApexThisSpyderco did a price increase this year. W/o the pouch you get a $10 credit bumping down the price. To roughly $58. This may be the better deal.
This being a user knife the pouch to me is useless.
ApexThisSpyderco raised the of nearly their entire line. That being said. This knife is excellent and gets better with use. As for the pouch, they don’t typically come with one. I think it’s something massdrop does to sweeten the deal.
I like your condescending tone, fella.
I'm well aware of the general thrust of Canadian knife laws and the recent policy shift by the CBSA that encouraged Canadian customs officials to be more creative with their tests of knives, to be more liberal with what they consider a gravity knife, to go further to induce action that could be considered centrifugal and not hand-driven.
If you care to read what I wrote, I was talking about what those recent developments mean for a lockback like the Delica. Lockbacks exert constant force on the blade tang while opening or closing, and as a result, are extremely unlikely to fail a test designed to separate out 'centrifugal' knives from slower, mostly two-hand opening knives. If you stop pushing with your thumb, the blade stops moving immediately whether it's locked open or not.
The lock type does matter, these tests are basically singling out knives that fit the current trend of smooth pivots and close to free-swinging actions. Frame and liner locking knives on bearings and Axis locking knives, compression locks, button locks, those are the kind of knives that these tests are designed to single out.
A lockback will never have a free-swinging pivot, no matter how the knife is opened.
OmniseedYou forgot the part of the new legislation where it mentions that the knife has "... a blade that opens by centrifugal force, when, with a simple and brisk outward flick of the wrist, the blade is released from the handle into the fully ejected and locked position", and "... it requires some preliminary or simultaneous minimal manipulation of either a flipper or other non-edged parts of the blade."
That includes flippers, thumb studs, thumb holes, and thumb disks. The locking mechanism, whether it be Axis, frame/liner lock, compression, or what have you, isn't what's being looked at, it's how the knife is opened. I've got a Spyderco Para Military (thumb hole and liner lock) that can be opened with and without a flick of the wrist, same with a Kershaw Skyline (flipper and liner lock), and an ESEE Avispa (thumb studs and frame lock). I've also got a Spyderco Caly 3.5 (thumb hole and compression lock) that can be opened either way.
The way the new knife laws read puts a lot of ambiguity into the whole situation, especially in the way that it conflicts with the old knife laws, which are still in effect. A lot of it is left to interpretation to the specific customs agent who gets the pleasure of checking that particular package. You should probably read up and get a better look on the whole deal.
EDIT: Forgot an "and".
