very true, unfortunently the knife laws in sweden sucks, your not really allowed to carry anything unless you need it for work and the likes, so a small folder you can get away with but an emerson, not likely, so i was merely trying to rationalize to myself not getting one:-) i will defenently get an emerson down the road, didn't mean to offend any emerson fans out there. although gotta say,seeing the spyderco wave delica, i quite like it. unfortunently it only comes in black, and i am so sick of black g-10 and black plastic. i want color:-) getting the purple delica and i already have a pink griptilian.

Hello Spydie friends !

Here is my bad ass new full serrated Endura 4.

This was a awesome week for me I was lucky to buy 5 custom modified spyderco knives so I hope soon I can share some nice pictures with you.

Hi Bjorn.

I love spyderco knives they are outstanding but if you need a extreme reliable hardcore tactical knife and don't want to go the STRIDER way I can highly recommend the Emerson folders. Ernest Emerson is one of the most respected tactical knife makers out there his designs are superb because he is great in making functional design that are used in field. He is using simple hardware and a chisel grind on his knives. His knives are primarily focused for military and law enforcement operators and there is nothing better or a faster opening system on a folder than the Emerson pocket opening feature (wave). If you get one you will be not disappointed nothing against the spyderco ghetto wave but man you ruin the overall knife design. But being spyderco that great knife company that it is they have two knives wit the Emerson opening feature so go get them they are simply amazing especially if you like the delica or endura :-)

C10PGYW - Endura

Hi Bjorn.

I have had no problem to sharpen the spyderco used ZDP 189 you can sharpen the VG-10 faster but ZDP189 you can go to the level of a laser sharpened surgical scalpel and if you don want to spend extra 30 usd than use ebay there you can find nice deals even used. So i recommend if you don't want to spend so much money but want to try out the ZDP189 steel go on ebay or look around on forums or youtube maybe somebody is selling it for cheap. I did bought my new for 68 USD shipped. Yes and it is extreme hard steel so keep in mind no extreme hard abuse because it could chip or brake. 

Here are my two ZDP Spyderco's 

I did a blade re-profile on my customized Dragon-gnat (originally a Dragonfly 2 ZDP version)

i have gotten into steels alittle bit the last couple of weeks after playing with some vg-10 and really liking it, so i was looking for the next step up which seems to be the zdp. and i really like the delica so just gotta convince the mrs that the extra money is worth it

Comment by björn thompson on March 1, 2012 at 17:19

just wanted to get your thought on the vg-10 vs zdp-189 thing?is it worth the extra money to get the delica with zdp? 30 dollars more seems a bit steep

Hello Spydie friends !

Spyderco is truely a excelent company. Two weaks ago a id requested a spyderco catalog from their website. I did know that I''m no US citizen and probabley  they send those out just to US addresses because it was free of charge I did not expected to receive one. Ussualy I do for myself a large printout every year but gues what the other day I have had mail from spyderco and in the evelope there was a 8 inch version of the 2012 spyderco catalog I do not know if they have also a biger version but i was really happy. Spyderco did have gone the extra mile to send it arround the world even consifering I'm no dealer and for those little things I'm really greatfull. Those people at spyderco do care also for the every say avarige man and that is one big advantege and this is how they made loyal customes. I just wanted to share and now here are some pictures od some of my new spyderco knives.

If you want a Delica you want this ZDP189 version I have not had a sharper spyderco from factory in my hands. Wow this is some amazing stuff.

Here are some other variants:

Classic Endura 4

Delica 4 ZDP189

Delica 4 VG10 FFG green

Hi Bjorn.

Welcome to the spyderco group.

I have had similar problems on my tenacious. I got all the 4 model and have observed that the china factory is using some kind lock-tight or glue (not on all models) I did Heat up the screw and than no problem with the removal next time please keep in mind this procedure when you are handling China made knives and that should do the trick.
