IF this is the Spyderco C11PGRE, the MD price - without the case! - is competitive at $86.88, including shipping – eg: it’s currently listed on Knife Center at $98.97, with free shipping.
YMMV, of course, but I consider the Delica to be the ideal EDC folder. I’ve had a Delica in my pocket for more than 25 years, and I’ve found the Delica 4 with a flat ground ZDP-189 blade to be the best iteration of this great design.
I love my Delica, but I'd really prefer to carry a cheaper knife day to day. Tends to be my Meadowlark 2. The Byrd is just a bit too heavy to be ideal for the cheap knife role.

I also got mine Cryo treated for free, so the cheapie steel holds a bit better edge than it used to. Still, I may grab a FRN version and swap the blade over to lighten it up.
For the Endura guys, there’s also the Cara Cara 2, and the Robin 2 is basically a mini version (dragonfly maybe?) of the same design if anybody is after a small one.
The Wharncliffe one I want is something like C11FPWCBK.
This lacks the F and has a 3 character color code (granted it‘s a special colored scale), but the code on my box does include a blade grind, despite no serrated option in ZDP-189, so outside of the VG10 models, it looks like it gets a little sketchy in the coding.
