We’ve been itching to share this exciting news with you for a little over a month now. Spyderco sent us one of these babies a while back, but we had our hands tied and couldn’t release the news (or photos!) until today. Without further ado, here’s what the new Delica 5′s are going to be looking like…

Gotta say, in the short time I’ve had this knife I haven’t quite been able to put it down. Definitely an excellent EDC, though of course I also loved the Delica 4, so I’m a little biased. The particular Delica 5 Spyderco sent me will be released as a sprint run: super blue (plain blade) with grey FRN handles.

Differences between the Delica 4 and the Delica 5:

  • Leaner blade profile
  • More aggressive slicer (a result of the super-lean blade)
  • Thumb stud (obviously)
  • New mold for the FRN scales – can’t notice any visual differences (besides the model number of course), but definitely feels a touch lighter

Not quite sure why Spyderco went with a thumb stud this time, but I have to admit it’s looking good!

Well, it sucks to see that part of the back part of the blade that shows, while closed. Makes the knife look like crap, just like the current Delica-4. That in itself will keep my from wanting one.

I agree, and no hole? Wtf are they doing
 
I'll try her out, I beat the snot out of my super blue delica at work. Looks like it will feel good in the hand.
 
Good looking Knife but no Spydie ""HOLE""..!! Hate to see that missing ~~ enough said.!**
 
I refuse to believe it. A spyderco without any hole? No way. And bumping the Native 5 lightweight back in line, nope.
 
If the thumb stud is real and staying, the only reason they did it was to show "hey look at the new delica5!" if they didn't do a thumb stud, it would look and be exactly the same as before. I'm not impressed at all.
 
Silly joke. First i saw thumb stud and thought no way, then i read rest of posts...
