NEW Delica 4 WilkinsGRIP D4 Prototype Run (scales)
Check it out new Delica 4 e scales each Gripset is CNC machined from 6082-T6 (AlMgSi1) Alu, Hardcoat Black finish and includes a serrated Natural Dural Alu Spacer and 8 stainless screws. I have only produced a small run of these to start, if they are a success, I will be doing them in G10 and perhaps even titanium.

I love the Wilkins-Ritter combo -- it raises the Ritter to an entirely new level.
But I'm not sure I'd carry a heavyweight Delica. Seems like it defeats the purpose of a 2.5 oz folder.
Maybe I'd change my mind if I handled them. The new scales do look great, and Kevin should sell a bunch. Congratulations and best wishes.

I'm guessing double the price as well. No doubt for some it would be worth it though. They do look nice and he does good work.But I'm not sure I'd carry a heavyweight Delica. Seems like it defeats the purpose of a 2.5 oz folder.

Just take a look at Kevin's blog:salimoneus wrote:The look sharp! Can you please post a link to one of the items? I searched for "delica" on the page but had no luck.

Very nice work, Kevin! Big fan of your WilkinsGRIPs for the Griptilian, I can't wait for the titanium variant of your Delica GRIPs.

For the cost of the handles alone, I think you could buy three Delicas. I was interested in perhaps saving up for a set of his scales for another company's knife I own, but when I saw this stern message about using images and copyrighted material from his website, I decided not to. The majority of his business is based off of other people's copyrights! :)
