I still think that the High Performance Delica is an urban myth! 🙄

The Urban is no myth, it's a great D'Fly sized Slipit!

Maybe we should be on the watch for a High Performance Urban instead?

Re: High Performance Delica Excitement

It's awesome to see our favorite knife maker offer the variants we crave but honestly, it's often cheaper and much more personalized to get custom scales...

Re: High Performance Delica Excitement

Right you are! I have consistently ignored the KC exclusive, since I got my HAP40 fix in the form of orange handle Sprints and don't love Pakkawood... So, if the demand is there, it could happen w/o dragging out dusty tooling. The Sage Green(?) Foliage Green G10 might have been a limited run. or a S...

Re: High Performance Delica Excitement

A factory micarta Delica isn't *impossible*, just deeply improbable. Why? The machining to make micarta scales that fit the standard FRN Delica family chassis is intricate and precise, which would likely increase the price to the point that many would take a pass on it even as a flash batch or Spri...

Do we know anything yet what the HP Delica is?

Will it be HIC? … linerless and dressed in fluorescent blue?

CG
I heard it was going to ship with Half Life 3

Well, Half Life Alyx has been available for several years now, but it's VR only.

...VR doesn't work well for EDC knives :(

Re: High Performance Delica Excitement

If this project bears fruit, then my wish for a second stage experiment would be to apply as high a hollow grind to the Manix as is practical and to make it in something like MagnaCut, AEBL, or 4V. :star-struck a manix ground like a gb2 would be really sweet sick. Fixed that for ya ;) Well the Reve...

CruWear Delica with natural canvas micarta scales and a Caribbean clip. I’d love to see a picture of that 👍 Here it is, along with what's in my pocket today: a black CruWear D'Fly in Ti scales from Etsy seller OroCustomKnives Resized_20231016_125914.jpeg Resized_20231013_001341.jpeg

Re: High Performance Delica Excitement

I'm still hoping for a k390 Police Wharncliffe :smiling-heart-eyes SE or PE? I think the problem with the wharncliffe blade shape is that it is really only maximized for utility, or self defense purposes. It lacks the versatility that many users value in a true EDC pocket knife. Many folks use thei...

Re: High Performance Delica Excitement

The Kiwi series had only a short mourning period on the forum :'(

While I love the form factor of my Kiwi 4, the HT on Moki's VG-10 doesn't support the low bevel angle that blade is begging to have applied.

Re: High Performance Delica Excitement

I gotcha. Yeah I'm wondering if they are making the current FFG Delica with a thinner blade stock or just adding a Hollow Grind to the FFG Delica. Either would be fine by mean. I think the current thin stock FFG is already pretty thin, and a Hollow Grind added to that would be something similar to ...

Re: High Performance Delica Excitement

I'm curious if it is still progressing forward or in a holding pattern. Also, I would be curious if the blade is still planning on being thinned out with the hollow grind or just adding a hollow to the current Delica blade. As mentioned before, still available: https://www.bladehq.com/item--Spyderc...
