Re: Delica options for the wife
Byrd Meadowlark and Harrier are both about Delica size and have G10 handle options.
On the other end of the price spectrum, the Spyderco Mantra 3 is also Delica size.
All of those have handle profiles that are similar to a Delica.

Re: Retire The PM2?
I don't think a thinner Shaman is necessarily a bad idea. But I don't see it replacing the PM2, not even over a long period of time. The Shaman and PM2 are very different designs. In particular, the blade shape is completely different. If someone likes the PM2 blade shape and likes the pronounced th...

Re: Byrd Harrier 2 LWT (1st impressions/bladeplay)
I have the G10 version of the Harrier 2, not the FRN/lightweight version. But with my knife, there is zero side-to-side movement with the blade in any position, from fully closed to fully open. I also have a Byrd Cara Cara 2 rescue that has FRN handles. And it also has no side-to-side blade play. So...

Re: What Are You Reading ?
Everybody Had An Ocean: Music and Mayhem in 1960s Los Angeles, by William McKeen. 2017. I love reading nonfiction books about the L.A. music scene of the ‘60s and ‘70s. Jim It's not a book, but if you haven't seen it yet, check out the documentary "Sound City": https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...

Re: DLT Exclusive OD Green G10 / DLC S90V PM2 Available March 30th @ 11:00 AM CST
Are there any other pics of this? I'm specifically interested in the liners -- are they coated black too, or are they satin? I don't normally try for exclusives that sell out in a few seconds, but I like this color combo (assuming the liners are black) and the price isn't outlandish. DLT commented ...

Re: Swick 5 ETA?
I just used my calipers to measure my index finger in various positions. (Straight and bent, to simulate holding the knife.) Based on that, I'm getting the larger size.

Re: Favorite late '70s/early '80s movies
I don't own very many DVD/BD, which means if I have the DVD/BD then it must be a favorite. So here's a list from a quick look through the DVD/BD shelves: 1979: Alien 1980: Airplane! 1981: The Dogs Of War, Raiders of the Lost Ark 1982: Blade Runner 1984: Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai, Red Dawn, Term...

Re: The upcoming Salt 2 ffg: Spydercos (Mini-) Bugout alternative and more? Perfect ultralight hiking knife?
In the USA, I suspect one of the reasons the Bugout is popular with backpackers is simply that it is sold at REI stores. And not just online -- I've seen it in the knife case at the physical stores. But if I search for "spyderco" on the REI site, only the Delica4 comes up. And I've never s...

Re: The Return of the Persian
Voted "maybe"... I don't think this specific model has to return. But I would like to see a Persian-style knife in the lineup. I certainly wouldn't complain if the Ed Schempp Persian came back, but it could also be a new/different design. For example, Peter Rasenti has made Persian-style c...

Re: Current Byrd Back Lock Quality?
Over a year ago, I got a Byrd Raven 2, Harrier 2, and Cara Cara 2 Rescue. None had dirty internals, and the fit and finish was good on all three. The Raven 2 is a liner lock, so it's a bit of a different knife, but first impressions of the Harrier 2 (and a little about the CC2) are here: https://for...
