I use a homebrew CNC router I built several years ago. The Anso texture is carved with a 1" ball nose bit. The CNC & the gcode makes it accurate, precise and repeatable.

Those modded Delicas look very interesting, how are the ergonomics? The ergos are not all that different. The extra heft at the heel allows for a full hand comfort grip... at least for my medium sized hand. With the OEM Delica the ring and little finger flex at the palm junction and are not influen...

Could that be the infamous stryderco? The butt of the handle does resemble a strider. Must say that is a nice mod. I was tossin' around Delirider or Stridica... but Stryderco has a ring to it. Since it was a Delica frame I didn't think the OEM profile had the 'zombie killer' looks. So... I put some...

If you get some kirinite be aware it is very soft to work with. MUCH MUCH softer than G-10. I assume it created enough heat to melt it. It acts more like plastic when working with it than G-10 or wood, etc. Thanks for that head's up...! Now I'm wondering if the heat generated with router machining ...

I just happen to be developing the machining files for the Delica. I'm almost there... just a couple of tweaks to the code before I lock it down. The double sided machining requires indexing from front to back so the machining is in perfect alignment when the material is flipped. I'm doing the final...
