ZDP knives

I am wondering if there will ever be a regular production full ZDP-189 (not laminated).

I believe the British Racing Green ZDP Endura Sal promised a while back is supposed to be solid ZDP blade, and it sounded as though the ZDP Delica was going into production with a different color FRN :D
I don't believe in safe queens, only in pre-need replacements.

I believe that the Endura 4 in British Racing Green will also be regular production, as well as another run of Delcia 4's.
First they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not stand up, because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Not yet, but depending on the market's reaction to it, and Hitachi's ability to produce the necessary quantities, I think it will happen. Spyderco is doing a very good job of testing the waters with the knifes they bladed with ZDP-189, and I'm glad Kershaw is starting to use it as well. The last thing we need is for people (knife companies included) to start thinking that ZDP-189 is only suitable for the highest niche of knife making, think William Henry here, and refuse to use it in their blades. I think a regular production piece is realistic, it will just take time. Also, I hear that the British Racing Green ZDP Endura will be serrated as well. Just something to dwell on. :D

Yup I just grabbed one but from Ebay. Not really a cheap price but didn't had time to go to Le Baron.

Speaking of the devil! Do you know if they can have the carbon fiber military?


The one that I never was able to get is the Caly Jr. in ZDP **** customs :|
