Spyderco Delica

Folding knives owners sharpen and carry for years.

What owners say

  • Owners widely name the Delica, Endura and Para Military as durable classics for everyday carry (one cites 20 years with his Military).
  • The Delica's VG10 steel and easy carry draw praise (many call it the gold-standard EDC); one owner recommends the corrosion-resistant Salt version for saltwater use.
  • Some note the budget models (Tenacious, Persistence) use cheaper steel, and point to VG10 models like the Delica for better edge retention.
