Spyderco Delica 4 - Why This Has Become My Favorite Locking Folder For EDC 

I have more than 50 pocket knives. Many are classic slip joints. I used to rotate my EDC, but the Delica 4 has pretty much become the one I carry now. It is a great all around light duty slicer.

In my opinion it is the best all round user of the Spyderco line . Easy to sharpen , lite weight but strong , great grip , not to expensive .

I have a Saber grind VG10 and a teal scale S30V version. Great tool

Another great video Sir. Fun story...I picked up a mid 90s delica, at a flea market for one dollar. Needed a soak in evaporust and the scales needed dyed, due to sun fade. Knife came right back to life. Blade steel is G2 and had the molded, righty only clip. Thanks so much for your content.

I have 100 plus knives in my collection. This is one of my most carried. It’s just a perfect size and weight for me. 🍻

Nice great looking knife! Great design!!

First Spyderco knife for me was 1991 Spyderco endura gen 1 no liners molded pocket clip.. decided I wanted something a little smaller a few years later settled on a delica 2.. metal clip but still no liners.. function perfectly.. about 10 years ago decided to go with the delica four serrated. But now I'm considering getting a delica four in a plain edge flat grind.. I also have a salt and Pacific salt in H-1 rust free steel the design is similar to the delica 2 and endura 2.. these are my diving snorkeling knives... I also have a ladybug in H-1 ..

I carry a Spyderco CruCarta PM2, and a Delica 4 in CPM M4, but I just ordered a Stretch 2 in VG-10 to rotate with my PM2, bc I loved my Stretch 2 in K390 so much but didn't want to use it. So I ordered the VG10 one from Amazon Japan on sale for only 67$, couldn't pass that up. It was 55% off, they went fast, but I managed to get one, only catch was the 2 week shipping wait, but for 67$ bucks. It's worth the wait.

PS, if you can get a Delica 4 in k390, M4 or CruWear, do it, it's worth the little bit of extra cash. I'm gonna pick another Delica 4 up in k390 here soon myself.

Awesome little knife. The only down fall is they are so light, it makes them easy to lose. Most of my knives are heavier and I can feel if they start to slip or get caught on something. I recommend a deep carry pocket clip. I lost my glow in the dark delica 4 and I'm still pretty upset about it.

I personally think the delica in generation 2 form and the dragonfly are the best ergonomically designed knives out there. The only real issues for me are that in the uk they are not legal as they lock and the delica blade size exceeds our laws and they are like everything else in the uk very expensive.

Just got one exactly like this one on eBay for 40 bucks! Brand new condition, has a company name engraved on the blade Im assuming that’s why nobody was placing bids on it but they’re loss!
