Recently I have received an education buying my first Delica because it was offered in Cruwear. My goodness what a difference a thin ffg blade makes and in Cruwear it is an incredible slicer love the way it feels when cutting.
Sounds to me you need to scare up a HAP40 wharncliffe delica. Talk about slicey!

I don't have a Native Salt but I like the model and the steel, seems like a winning combo.

Crap. Just got cut by mine! (not deep just a scratch but wow! FYI it comes shaving sharp and beyond...).
Only ever got cut once before with a spyderco don't want to make this a habit...
FYI the pocket clip is magnetic so not the ti one like on the salt 2.

That’s unfortunate to hear the clip isn’t titanium. I wonder if it’s made out of some sort of rust resistant steel. Hopefully it’s not the coating alone that guarantees it’s corrosion resistance.

Does that complexity decrease the simplicity? Not at all.

Anyone done any scale swaps with FRN natives? Or are blade swaps the only option? I don't think many people make scales for FRN models.

I was wondering how it would look in a black handle. Probably awesome. But since it cost over a hundred bucks I'm not about to try swapping it...
