My Delica 4 has been my EDC now for 4 years. It’s a fantastic knife for that purpose! It is the perfect size for hanging inside a jeans pocket, perfect box opener, perfect apple peeler, perfect whittler, it can even open a bottle of beer! After four years of literal every-single-day use, it beginning to show it’s age. It has been sharpened so many times now that it just can’t hold that fresh-sharp edge for more than a couple weeks. (I use the spyderco sharpener). It has been a GREAT knife for the purpose.Likes: When new, VG-10 holds a razor-sharp edge for a long time. The size of this knife is perfect! The jimping on the blade ramp allows superb control with your thump to really put pressure on the blade when cutting something hard or whittling. That’s is a feature of most Spydercos, and why I’ve become a brand loyalist. The fit and finish has always been spot-on, everything lines up as it should. The internals are nearly as tight as ever... it has NEVER accidentally unlocked no matter how much pressure was used. Speaking of the lock, I love having it on the backbone. Yes, it takes two hands to unlock, but this type of mechanism really comes in handy when training Cub Scouts knife safety as there is no way to “look cool” closing it one-handed. This design has sold a few parents of Spyderco.The bad: Edge retention after years of use (mentioned earlier). The plastic on the handle is not as sharp as it used to be and as getting a bit slippery from the wear. The handle also got some nicks in the end (from prying bottle caps). The paint chipped off the pocket clip fairly early, but the stainless under the paint polishes-up nicely.Over-all I’m extremely satisfied with my Delica 4. I purchased a Dragonfly VG-10 a few years ago, but it’s a bit small for my style of EDC (the dragonfly isn’t quite deep enough to slice an apple where a Delica can). The Dragonfly shines however when wearing gym-shorts or for a lighter-weight knife for backpacking. I am now in the market for a new EDC knife. I’ve settled on Spyderco for the easy-open and jimping, and settled on a back-lock design. I considered moving up to the Endura 4, simply because I still have a perfectly good Delica in my arsenal. Just found out today Spyderco has a new size between the Endure and Delica, called the Endela. May try to find one of them. If not, I may just end up with 2 Delicii.  Read Less
