Picked up a Delica 3 today...

[Chooie]

for $2! There's a teensy bit of the tip missing, but other than that it's 100%. I just wish it was waved... but for 2 bucks, who am I to complain?

Is that the old style with the belt clip being a integral part of the grip? Or is the belt clip removable/reversible?

My monitor sucks...

[Chooie]

Belt clip is reversible left/right, but always tip up. Delica 4 lets you go 4 ways with the clip.

Where did you find it?

Congratulations.

You did great Jchoo!! While I prefer the newer Gen 4 Delica the Gen 3 was also very popular. You should be able to reprofile that tip very easily. I had a friend at work give me his OLD Delica to fix the tip. It has about 1/4 inch missing. This is what I was able to do.

If anybody has one of the OLDER Delicas with the integral pocket clip - I WANT ONE!!!

Preferably 50/50 blade - but not mandatory! I just don't like the steel pocket clips.

I found it at the pawn shop where I was working today - I asked the manager what he wanted for it, he shrugged and said "Idunno, 2 bucks?" Hey, I couldn't have asked for more.

Ront:

Wow, 1/4" missing? That looks great! Did you do all the work on a stone, or did you grind/sand to get it where you wanted it?

[ront]

Jchoo, it has been a little while since I did this, but I am pretty sure that I used a grinder first, then a course diamond stone and then a finer diamond stone and then the Spyderco Sharpmaker. It did take a while, but the results were rewarding!

If on a wheel go slow, watch for heat build-up. Might discolor the blade, in extreme cases could spoil the hardening. Use a slow process.

I'd work that tip back into shape with a stone, no wheel. It's not a big break at all.

and wound up here. I'm pretty happy with it, considering... I just wish I hadn't scuffed the steel so badly. Oh well, I won't feel bad when I remember it was a $2 knife.

I'll give you your $2 back! Hell...I'll give ya FIVE dollars!!!

Heck no! I'm going to bust out the Dremel soon and wave this thumbhole... well, maybe not tonight, but soon!

I got a Delica with the 4 way clip for fathers day. Thanks bobernet.

[Pete]

You're going to EDC that knife? So those marks will be nothing in six months of use.

Great knife story.

[Chooie]

Definitely EDC. I've been carrying the Gerber as a work knife since cutting up cardboard, etc. trashes an edge, but I'll give this guy a whirl and see how it holds up.
