    Thanks for these. I have a couple of early Wal-Mart special Natives that I'd love to get a wave function on.

    I dunno why people think 154CM is an "obsolete" steel. Like most middle ground steels, it has some of the best ability to resharpen, hold an edge, and is usually hardened in the 55-57RC range, which is about perfect for a tool that might be employed as a prying tool.

    I'll preface: I like Emersons. I know Ernie and I like him and his family, they have always been good to me and mine. So, I'm inclined to support them whenever possible. If I were going to pick something up for EDC from Emerson today, I'd probably go with a CQC7. The tanto blade may not initially make a lot of sense, but you can sharpen the tip and body of the blade differently. Which can allow you to have, different grinds for different tasks on the same blade.

    That said. I can find nothing, nothing, wrong with the Spyderco Delica as an everyday carry knife. I've tried for years and years to find a different blade that works as well and I cannot. I have four Delicas and counting, because they simply work. The factory option of a Waved Delica makes it an even easier choice. Some may knock VG10 as an obsolete steel. But I find it's pretty much like 154.

    As it is, I carry a Spyderco of some type about 90% of the time. The three different models in my rotations are the Delica, Native, and P'Kal. I carry the P'Kal a lot, but I have low-grade knife tasks at the moment. When I worked in construction or I'm working in the garage I tend to go Native with its thicker tip and stock. For EDC, the Delica is about the perfect balance.

    Tl;dr

    Spyderco Delica - waved if you want the wave. If you want to get fancy, buy one of the various exclusives made with higher end steel.
