I'll join the crowd of Spyderco Delica fans and recommend you check out the 'emerson' version with the wave opening feature. It works quite nicely. Nothing wrong with the traditional spyder hole opening method but the wave is even slicker. I have the larger Endura wave but will add a Delica wave soon. Hard to go wrong with any Spyderco.

As to the pocket clip, all mine have been black but the edges wear and become more noticeable as the stainless shows. I took some 0000 steel wool to a black clip and turned it into a nice dull flat grey/satin stainless that blends nicely with jeans.
