I’ve been carrying Spyderco Delicas since about the mid 90s, and have been through a few of them due to loss or theft. I lost my last one about 3 years ago. I’ve bought many knives since, but none of them seems to fill the hole created by my loss of my last knife. I could never justify paying a huge amount of money for another.
The other day, I was browsing EBay and noted suggested searches or previous searches for ‘used spydercos,’ so I jumped down that rabbit hole. I found a Delica 4, plain edge, listed for $37, with 5 min left in the auction.
I got it for $41, shipped.
It just came in today. It’s in pretty good condition, but pretty dull, I suspect a few passes on the belt grinder will fix that.
It’s in my pocket now, and I feel whole again. It’s just the perfect knife.
