G10 Scales for Delica4

#1

Post by bigboned »

Hi All, Upfront apologies im a noob here, relatively new to spyderco ownership as here in Ireland we dont have much choice in terms of retail stores to go and handle them.
Ive seen pics and ive tried searches to no avail but id love some g10 scales for my delica4, but id like them as near as poss to the finish on the para3 / pm2 etc - all the aftermarket ones ive seen have mouldings and contours on them etc, is anyone doing such a thing? can someone point me to a link etc?

was there a delica released in g10? ive only come across frn/ss

Thanks for your time

I'm not sure if it's still available or not, but check stnicksknives. Very nice piece, but a bit pricey.

They released this Delica 4 in red G10 in HAP40 steel. It is a awesome knife! I don’t own one, and I’m not sure if you can buy the grips only for it.

They also released the same knife with carbon fiber grips.

They both cost about $169 US dollars.

You could sell your current knives on eBay, and buy the G10 Delica if you had to have G10.

I will eventually pick one of those up myself! It looks great!

Here is the Carbon Fiber version it cost $159 US

Welcome to the forum Andy!

There are several makers out there that can do basic G10 scales for your Delica.

We have a member here who goes by Boomer52 (Steve B.). I'm sure he can help you out. I'd suggest contacting him through the private message system to see what he can do. His prices are very reasonable by the way.

The link below is a forum search of his posts.

http://www.spyderco.com/forumII/search. ... mit=Search

This is his Flickr page...

This is a set of scales that he did for one of my Delicas.

There was a Foliage green G10 Delica, but it has been discontinued for years and when they do come up for resale it's almost always with a $180+ asking price.

I'm not sure what that CF model the pictures posted above is, but it's not the Fradon Lock exclusive... That's available here: https://www.safeandlockstore.com/knives ... ber-knife/

still more knives than sharpening stones...

I thought those pictures didn’t look right. You are right It isn’t a Fradon lock. My mistake.

Love my custom green micarta scales from “g10it” or Suingab. He works in many materials and can add custom touches as desired.

I have G-10 scales from Cuscadi on my Delica and they're great.

I wish Spyderco would start to produce factory parts for knives. And you could order them right from the website.

I’ve been watching B52’s posts here and on BF. I have one or two too many Delicas. Maybe I need to contact him myself...

You also can find a foliage green D4 on secondary market.
Whenever there is any doubt, there is no doubt.

Try Cuscadi as previously mentioned or Suingab, both are based in the EU, if you don't see what you want then send an email and I'm sure they'll be able to do something for you.
