http://i65.tinypic.com/33dyrg5.jpg Are those handle edges rounded a bit, or is it just an illusion? I am taking mine apart today. Planning on rounding the bottom inside of the scales (done this on few knives - great improvement), and even try the outside a hair. There isn't much room on the outside...

Had a handful over the years. Still have the Skyline. Out of the ones I owned, ended up liking this one the most. I pull it out once in a while just to reminisce, keep it in a pocket for a day. It will do what I expect it to do.

I haven't been much of a Delica user. I had the FRN and Pakkawood, but they just weren't doing it for me. Ergonomics were good, but I just didn't enjoy them. This one is definitely making me reconsider the model. The feel of the G10, overall slimmer, the action, and the color. Definitely back in rot...

Yeah, hmm, what's the story with those scales? First gen CRUWEAR? Based on the slope of the ricasso...

On my more used knives, I take the edge all the way to the ricasso. My observation has been this. With the tri-angle stones, because the corners are somewhat round, the last 1/16 on the blade doesn't really get touched. However, if you are not careful, a stone with a sharp edge will ride up that lit...

Awesome pics. Mine should be in on Thursday.

Is the backspacer plastic? If I recall, when I had the Pakkawood, it was metal.

That's nice!

Military, I am ready.

Most used, just because I have too many PM2s,

Got mine! I have to say...it's better than expected. The G10 looks and feels great! http://i.imgur.com/FOIzdG4.jpg I like all my Delicas but this is likely the nicest version yet. On a side note...I was prepared to receive a hard time from my SO for getting another knife. When I opened the package ...

That discount did me in. Since I technically don't have a Delica - mrs uses it 99% of the time - I had no choice. Throw red G10 into the mix, and I didn't have a chance. Saving $20 while spending $170. That's technically $150... if my math is right... :confused:... if that helps me justify it... Fre...

I've got one sitting in my cart. If they send a coupon I will likely get one. A bit more palatable at that price.

Hahaha! Din't work for me. Guess it wasn't meant to be.

TiCN? Had and have some DLC blades. Solid coating in my experience. Never had a TiCN. OP, may want to change the title... Did a quick look at the Interwebs, comparing the two coatings. Should hold up similarly; DLC seems to have some advantages when exposed to heat and acid (neither of which should ...

The DLC does slow down smooth open/close action due to increased friction from coating.

100% not an issue with either of my current ones, or three others I had previously.

Exposed (non-nested) black liners with black steel back spacer, I assume?

Still 'bating this one. Doesn't seem to be moving too quickly, if the count is correct. I will party on it this weekend...

I hear that! Pretty steep for an impulse buy, but wow, I really dig it.
The weight is listed at 2.5 oz., it's go to be heavier than that tho, i would think.

Different G10 Delica was listed over 3oz. Pakkawood is 3oz.

The more I look at it, the better it looks :confused:

EDIT TO UPDATE: I ordered a Native 5 Lightweight in Dark Blue FRN with S110V, and a Chaparral Gray FRN (yes, I really like FRN). :D Thanks for voting! Haha! Didn't even take a full page of suggestions. Haha! Somebody's got it good... :D That Native is nice. https://i.imgur.com/p8qa1jw.jpg
