Spyderco Delica 4 Lightweight Wharncliffe Knife Review. Also Starring the Yojimbo 2!

[@markus6167]

Still helpful after 7 years! Thanks Bro

[@samdone2900]

The Delica wharncliffe gets super high marks for cuteness! The Yojimbos got a face only its mother would love.

[@richardsveum8452]

Until you actually own a Yojimbo 2, I love both of mine.

[@mitchelldelmar9682]

Your capable editing and voice-over narration set your channel apart from other EDC reviewers. Really appreciate that. Length is just fine (unless you got more to say). Also love your salute to the fantasy world that is KZbin and the nod & wink mockumentary delivery. No doubt your channel will grow beyond your expectations and comfort level.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I often think about all the things I could go over... but I edit myself- more here than people will see. There's a lot of things I say that aren't valuable- and even more that I don't say. I've been plugging at this channel now since 2014- although at a slower pace. I don't know if it'll get much bigger without a ton of effort. There's a big chance I'll get sick of it all before it becomes worth it financially. Thanks for the kind comments!

[@mitchelldelmar9682]

You never know - the difference between success and failure is sometimes only a matter of persistence. You've definitely got a spark, and once the flame catches it creates its own wind. In your case, I think reviewing gear is simply a first step in the learning process. You, sir, are a commentator/observer of culture with a sharp wit and great timing. Keep going.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thanks man! I try to make them a bit more about the stuff I'm reviewing than the actual product. I'm still going for the foreseeable future.

[@johnwesleyhardin5867]

+Advanced Knife Bro I second What Mitchell Delmar said. btw Mitchell, well said Sir. Keep going Advanced Knife Bro.. Much Respect Sir

[@benjaminpoirier9139]

Great job, I always enjoy watching. Anywhere from 6-10 minute video length is good for me. Anything longer and you might lose people before the end.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Good to know. I feel like some of the older 3-5 minute videos were too short, and I left some stuff out. Thanks for the feedback.

[@VincenzoNero94]

Advanced Knife Bro longer

[@YesterdayMeetsToday]

I have been carrying the Delica 4 every day for a couple years now and love it. I had planned on getting an Endura for the longer blade, now looks like I am buying 2 more Spyderco's this year. My only complaint about the Delica is something you noted in the review, it sticks out of the pocket just a tad to far. I really had no idea what the Wharncliffe blade was, so thanks for the education Knife Bro.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I only learned a few years ago... but I've seen the Wharncliffe... sheepsfoot blade argument play out online. I honestly don't care or think it's that big a deal... but some people do! I'd go with the Endura before another Delica- the dimension are very similar. The Yojimbo blade is actually easier for cutting through heavier stuff. Although I didn't spell it out in the review exactly... it takes more work to get the delica through the same bit of cardboard.

[@rakeyohn222]

Knife bro, I recently discovered your sincere and 100% professional reviews. I have to hand it to you. You're pretty advanced.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

+fapping2quelaag at least that's what my mom always told me!

[@d.vargasm]

Really need this review subed and notifications on keep innovating and keep kicking ass

[@davidsandlin9686]

This channel has become the greatest KZbin knife channel in existence imo. If you could do your testing on full customs the third dimension may actually collapse into the fourth spawning knifeageddon.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Those guys never seem to return my emails! I wish I could... but a custom would blow my knife allowance for like 6 months. I guess I could make 14 videos on one knife?

[@davidsandlin9686]

***** well if you keep growing they will come to you.

[@edgblades]

Excellent review! Glad you mentioned the comparison w/ the Yojimbo2. I have it and have been on the fence w/ getting the new Wharncliffe. Probably will, thanks!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thanks man!

[@theshanester9823]

I love these reviews you do. Great job

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thanks!

[@paultowns9880]

Dinner sounds interesting at your house! Fantastic review. Thanks.

[@shummyshum4285]

love your reviews! the current length is good. Hope you reach 10k soon!

[@feralgrandad4429]

the delica warncliff is tuff to find here in UK. Not coz of knife laws or anything, i think just not so many imported as the regular delica 4. but off to Canada in 3 days and just see shop in calary is seling them on clearance.this video just sold it to me, thanks :-)

[@jonathandavis9843]

I enjoyed the new useful info, especially the drawing of the sheeps foot. The bloody one .

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I hoped that helped!

[@danofiremano]

Just bought the HAP40/SUS410 Wharncliffe today! Thanks for the, it is what it is length video. BTW, I loved the classic kid shot at the end. 😂

[@texasleprechaun5139]

Always enjoyable videos. Thank you for your courage!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thanks to the wonderful wizard!

[@randomguy-z2l]

Wharny delica was my first Spyderco. God I love it.

[@danofiremano]

The ideal length for me depends on my mood. Sometimes I like a shorter white video and sometimes a longer blacker video, so thanks for your consideration! This looks like a great knife. I have quite a few Spyderco knives and tried the zip tie method on my Bushcraft-UK, but it actually made it harder to get out of the sheath even though the blade was fully deployed when it was pulled out. Thanks for another great video. Gonna subscribe today!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Yeah... I've tried it. It either: rips up my pocket... gets caught on something... the zip tie moves, etc... It's pretty useless for me.

[@sethnicholls7861]

I really dug your approach w this review. I'd love to see the Delica 4 wharncliffe model offered in some different/better blade steels/other handle material options!

[@PerceptionVsReality333]

I bought the S30V teal FRN Delica4 last year on eBay for $99.99 & the S30V holds a razors edge way longer than VG-10 I have 4 Delicas but this teal version is my favorite.

[@whiteswoodworks]

awesome reviews all around. keep it up

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thanks man!

[@Howlin000]

Now I need a Yojimbo 2... Looks so good, damn

[@cameronwilliams4149]

Howlin000 and at the same price as a pm2

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I take that back (that the PM2 is smaller)... close to the same blade size. The PM2 blade looks like smaller, but isn't. Rudimentary knife bro.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Ooops... about the same size... sorry for the edit, and screw up. Choices, choices!

[@sn2784]

An entertaining video as usual, i especially liked the lambdrawing! And the fact that the Yojimbo 2 actually has "earth" written on the blade: saves me the time of having to ask which planet it comes from:) On a side note, i was wondering if it would be possible for you to make some sort of "to be reviewed in the future" list maybe once a month, once a week or something. I dont know about others, but whenever i discover a new product(most often flashlights) i wonder if its going to be reviewed by either you or any of the others i follow on youtube. Its always good to see reviews on a product, before making a purchase, and i find your reviews to be my favorites! I also know that reviewing takes alot of your time so this is just a suggestion, and i fully understand if it would take too much time:)

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

That's a fair idea. I often times like ideas of easy videos. My reviews take a lot of time, but sometimes I wish I had some filler videos that only took 20-30 minutes or an hour to do. I am currently working on reviews for the Armytek Wizard Pro USB... the Manker MK34, I've also preordered a Cold Steel frenzy... so those are things I'm currently working on. Hopefully I'll have a flashlight review up next week.

[@tonydavis5053]

Popular edc thin blade slicer, weird looker but love it!

[@bumstudios8817]

I asked my wife and she said the length(of the video) was fine, but girth (of content) was a little lacking because you didn't baton anything with the knife... I'm not sure I would agree... but "that's what she said" ba da bum!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Good info, she sure knows her knife "videos!"

[@bumstudios8817]

***** The truth is she didn't watch your video......I can't let her watch your videos because I have "knife envy": (

[@raymondwilliams2609]

Advanced Knife Bro I think 10 minutes is round about the right length. If it's too long you can always blame me.....AGAIN! 🇬🇧

[@bumstudios8817]

Raymond Williams Ooooo so you are the reason this @$$ holes videos are long as f%@%.... Thank you;)

[@MyEnemy]

Dude, don't say shit like that with your little girl as your profile pic.

[@DullPoints]

I give you full points for your project young man.

[@MichaelTravis12c27]

That's just about the perfect EDC utility blade.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

+Blue Mountain Bushcraft and Outdoors I agree. Although I've noticed that the endura and the delicas are basically the same price.

[@MrJoshua0236]

I have the Yojimbo 2 and the 940-1 for about a year now. I used to carry a MRX but cant in the state i live in now. I carry a Spyderco Salt for the beach but for the most part these are the two i choose.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

+Joshua Hammett I've wanted a salt for years now. Thought honestly I don't use my knives in the water all that much.

[@kenpocop]

Great review!

[@chasechenoweth7112]

Way to go brotendo!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I love Brotendo!

[@TheEvrael]

you might have switched up the units at the handle grip area part

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Oh you mean talked about the handle grips a bit more for each?

[@TheEvrael]

sorry I used the wrong expression, I meant you you mixed up centimeters and inches (3.62cm doesnt equal 9.20 inches)

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Shit... oops! I always look for that when watching the video, and before uploading. But I missed it this time. Well the numbers are right at least. Thanks for the catch, wish it was easier to fix without deleting the video.

[@jwfraga]

Good review AKB. Delica is a bit small IMO, I do however, want a Yojimbo 2. I think it would be good in a lighter FRN handle tho......

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Love the yojimbo. It breaks my 4 ounce rule, by a hair... but I love it. If they could shave a quarter ounce off of it, it'd be amazing.

[@marshalllaw123]

Looks practical and useful, but I won't trust it until I see you baton comically large pieces of wood with it. After all, that's basically all I ever buy knives for.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

You noticed that? I mean... I was going for ridiculous in that last video... but maybe most people think that's an appropriate size? Pretty soon I'm going to get a ladder. I have this 15 foot limb in my yard, that has a sub 3 inch blade's name all over it.

[@Mr_Tovarish]

More is always better with you friend.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thanks man!

[@dttenorio]

6:34 edc deep thought 😂😂😂

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

EDDCT. Or something.

[@Pterrordactyle]

the diagram of wharncliffe vs sheepsfoot was fukin lit omg

[@romeras600]

That's deeeeep bro 👌

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

It put her ass to sleep! Thanks!

[@pauldayton5285]

When using the zip tie on Spyderco knife's I've found that super glue ( don't worry nail polish remover takes it right off ) on the inside of the zip tie before cinching it down into place really enhances the performance. I also cut the zip tie as close down to the head as possible after cinching down into place & add a couple drops of super glue in the space where the zip tie passes through the head. It's never failed , slipped out of place or has been in the way of anything when cutting. I have the Manix2XL with the black blade , I used a black zip tie that I put right in front of the thumb jimping on the blade. It blends right into the knife & in my opinion doesn't look bad at all. I used a medium sized zip tie that has a slightly smaller head than the " standard " size. The head has all rounded edges & doesn't tear up my pockets at all. I have a zip tie on my Endura 4 as well & I have perfect deployment everytime. I love being able to deploy my knife quickly like that it's a " must have " for me on my EDC & anyone that's hating can Fuck off & kiss my ASS.

[@JimmySawFinger]

where are the 1h30 reviews? Need to watch them while on turbo :p

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

+Jimmy SawFinger fallout!

[@LarsRibe]

Oh! That's a very nice spyderco. Maybe I'll get that instead of the pingo.. but I do like the looks of the pingo better. Aahh, looks or use-a-billety??? I like your reviews! Maybe 60-90 sek shorter or some comparing the knives to other knives in the same category?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I would like to do more similar comparisons... but I still need a few more knives. I don't have a lot in the same size class as the Delica. But yeah... maybe I'll do some size comparisons in the future... like add a few more split screen shots.

[@LarsRibe]

Advanced Knife Bro "but I still need a few more knives" :-D That is what we all claim. I agree 100%

[@davemz999]

How'm I at the wrong side of KZbin again? I mean 10,000 subscribers AKB. You go! I have the standard Delica 4. It's a great little knife. Thanks for another entertaining review. I also asked my fiancée and she said it's too long, (the video) and it's better if you just go faster. (k, don't listen to her, video's goooooood!) BTW, that's a funny looking Delica 4 you got there.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Ha! Good info! Getting 10k is pretty hard work. I spend way more time on these videos than I should.

[@sesa2984]

Oooohhh. I always thought you were saying "Warren Cliff." And I thought it was cool that some guy had a blade shape (he invented?) named after him that I would never want.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

An OG Warren Cliff design.

[@401als]

very nice!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Thanks, Thanksman (again)!

[@VincenzoNero94]

U sr get thumbs up for life

[@chucker173]

Nobody ever mentions the Centefonte

[@zeroed4x]

Dude you bought a overpriced Schumaker battery charger ???? Damn....... Mentally Challenged Knife Bro....... Thanks for the Wharncliffe Spydie video

[@swimcrane7911]

Great channel. Love it. What's your favorite blade at the moment? Only pick one.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

The 940-1.

[@49giants3]

I love coke with dinner too!! Lol nice video bro!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

*FANGERS!*

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

SNAP UR FANGERS, DO THU STEP...

[@liamyedmun825]

Hi, just brought the Yojimbo 2. Looking for the deep pocket clip like you, but they have many sizes. Want to have the same size pocket clip as you. Can you send the link of you pocket clip of Yojimbo 2 pls?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I wish I knew. I bought this knife second hand, and the clip was already installed. I don’t really know anything about it.

[@liamyedmun825]

Thanks

[@NicolasShaffer]

0:20 Black and plastic,Black and plastic,Black and plastic,Black and plastic. Is it just me who thinks Advanced Knife Bro sounds like Regular Car Reviews.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I do a little. Although, I tone my humor back- and stay away from politcal jokes. Mostly!

[@AnthonySmith-sc4zs]

Again, great reviews! If you had to pick between the wharncliffe delica or the drop point what would you pick? I’ve got a Yo2 so I’m not really missing out on what that blade style has to offer, but did you prefer it in the Delica4 package?

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I’d pick the standard delica. I don’t carry my wharncliffes often... the straight edge gets in the way of certain types of cutting.

[@petersymons7817]

Thank you

[@benjaminhollenbeck7506]

With the finger/spidey flick, flick out (away from the handle) opposed to up (which is natural/what causes people to not get it). Sorry, I love Spidy flicking all my spyderco's ;)

[@infidelmedicolmmedic2880]

Nice vid. I love the dead lamb and the cocaine comment. Lol.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I'm just trying to give out useful info!

[@hanselito2416]

1:46 this is the shit playing now 😂

[@VincenzoNero94]

Leaving a comment

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Comment acknowledged!

[@VincenzoNero94]

Advanced Knife Bro thanks

[@grilin18.]

Absolutely love the look and design of the yojimbo ( it and the roc are the only good looking spydercos for me ) but due to some really strange knife laws I can carry it but can’t use it to defend myself so I’m going to turn the warncliff delica into a mini yojimbo so I can use it in a self defense role

[@jacobriley3339]

This is a message from the future a i own this knife 😂 like that one in the video

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Sup dude! Hope you like it!

[@SailfishSoundSystem]

I want one.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

They had these available right out of the gate, compared to some of their other newer models.

[@SailfishSoundSystem]

I think Spyderco had that prototype for a long time and just sat on it. Sal likes wharncliffes, hence the Kiwi 4 and others. I got this fucking Opinel No 8 and I'm about to catapult it back to France! Dude this thing came so dull it's like they didn't even try. I got a No 7 for my kid and it came a little dull and a few licks on the Sharpmaker and it was like a scalpel. Not this piece of amphibian shit! I need diamond rods. The coarse ones ain't cutting it.

[@12GaugeLeadSalad]

0:46 LOL!!!!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

That was for you!

[@SmokeRingsPipeDreams]

Deeeeeeeeep bro. Fuuuck, I need to rethink my life.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Brrooooooo. Totes!

[@Jack_all]

do a knife review of other knife reviewers.. the Shibazz, Nutnfancy , Wranglestar episode..

[@fleariddenbarge]

thank god the skin on your hands is so dry and cracked, otherwise i wouldn't be able to take your opinion on this knife very seriously at all

[@julienviapiana5664]

I need something to cut... NOW!

[@Raychristofer]

Dang mh. You're gonna put me out of business if you keep putting out reviews so regularly. You're making me look bad. My approval rating is less than the new president right about now. Good review tho lol

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

And that's low! I try to do one a week, but it's really hard with job/family. Thanks!

I wouldn't compare Endura 4 to Yojimbo 2 since the former is an EDC knife whereas the latter is designed for self defense. See Michael Janich talk about the evolution of Yojimbo: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5XHgJeFg6h2p7c Pretty damn tactical box cutter you have! :)

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Hmm... feels like a box cutter on steroids to me. The way he flicks that delica blade out at 7:42... he must have practiced that a lot, to hit it at that angle.

Ok, I've missed that half a second the first time I watched that video. Watched it over 10 times now. Still cannot understand how he does that O__o Well, he's martial arts trainer so...

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

+Heikki Pitkänen no big deal if it was the yojimbo... but delicas are not easy to open. Unless the older versions were easier to deploy.

Maybe it's a tactical fast-action version since the blade is serrated aswell :D

[@sjbrakke]

Please Baton with it!!

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

I'll keep that in mind!

[@dubglock2312]

I gotta grab me one these badass mofos

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

It's a nice lightweight carry, for sure.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

+Doğu believe it or not, that took me only 2 minutes to do... oh you believe it? Ok

[@Reiksguard]

I believe "most" of things what I see on your videos.:D

[@beefysuperdude]

"So what's your ideal length"? That's what she said? No, wait, that doesn't work. Maybe "that's my favorite pickup line." Ah forget it. *filled with shame*

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Shame build character- I should know!

[@GearSkeptic]

The objectification of perfectly straight blades puts unrealistic expectations on those of us with edges that have a little natural bend. Stop the blade shaming!

[@jacksquat2067]

Ideal video length? Well... It takes a woman about 7 minutes to um.. arrive. So about 10 minutes. 'Cause I'm totally not using your videos as a delay mechanism.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Fuck... I never thought of that!

[@strangelyjamesly4078]

not a fan of Spydies. Never liked the styling.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]
