The new Spydercos

[zahc]

For those not in the know, they just keep getting better and better...and more expensive.

The Delica and Endura now have aluminum liners, and removeable pivots, whose tension can be adjusted with bronze shims. The clip is now three-screw style and 4 position ambidextrous. There is a lot more knurling, and the blade shape has been changed to a much less pointy style.

Also, there is a Delica Wave along with Endura Wave....when I bought my Endura Wave it was $90 and very rare.

I'm not sure about this...I like the new knives and I liked the old ones too...especially how cheap they were. For me, the Delica was an all-plastic, cheap work knife...you couldn't take it apart, and you didn't want to, you just wanted to swish it in the lake to clean it off and put it back in your pocket. I wonder what spyderco has to fill that niche now?

Well, I do agree on the better part.

Expensive? I don't know. The Delica now runs $42 from New Graham. I would expect to pay double that for a knife with these features.

So, while I understand what you're saying, I think these Spydercos are still damn cheap for what you're getting.

Hmm. My sources suggested a price well over 50. Pushing 80 IIRC. Agree, that's still quite a steal.

Whoa whoa whoa....What happened to my VG-10? Are they now ATS-55? What's that?

 

[JShirley]

Dunno. Spyderco shows them as VG-10 (of course, we don't know how long that info's been up, either). You might want to search the Spyderco forum at BladeForums.com for more info...

Wow, waved Delicas and Enduras!
I could always use another car knife...
