Mike,

Greetings. On the last episode of the Best Defense shown on Wednesday, February 10, on Outdoor Channel, you had demonstrated a cut with a Spyderco on a a pork loin wrapped up in Saran wrap and covered with a denim jeans. What Spyderco did you use for this demonstration?

Thank you for such a great and practical show you and Rob out forth.

Dear Tony:

Thanks for your post and for watching.

The knife I used for the demo was a Spyderco Delica. It's available in a number of different configurations, but the one I used was one of my two EDC Delicas, which have plain-Jane black Zytel handles. I prefer a plain edge.

The great thing about the Delica is that it is also available in a red-handled, blunted training version that allows safe training with a partner. Both versions are mechanically identical and feature four-position clips that support tip-up or tip-down carry on both sides of the body. The blade length is 2-7/8 inches, so it's legal just about everywhere except Chicago and Boston.

FYI, a new version of the Delica 4 will be available very soon. It has a full-flat-ground blade and will be available with five different handle color options. If you want something that is not "tactical black," these will be a great choice.

I hope this helps.

Stay safe,

Mike

Thank you so much, Mike for the reply. Most helpful and thorough as always!

All the best,

Tony

I am very happy to hear this, I can only hope there are not to many colors due to the fact that I will own at least one of each......along with a trainer.
Thanks again.
