Voted Endura. I'd really love to see not some fancy new collectors-only edition, but a (re)take on the original: blade shape with pointy tip, plastic handle with an integral clip.
(I've avoided on purpose "FRN" because it may be any other type of polymer as long as is rigid enough for structural integrity yet springy enough to work for the clip as well)
That'd be cool as well, but i think a 30 year Anniversary deserve some nice new "clothes" :)

I am a collector and a user. But I really want a dressed up anniversary Delica I can use. I'd prefer no clip as I'd remove it anyway since the occasions I'd wear it to wouldn't like a clip to show. Since I am a collector that means I need two. So please make this a reality.
Im down. Theres already been so many versions though I cant really think of what I would want.
I'm thinking bolstered, with Ironwood or Snakewood inlays, Damasteel or mirror polished blade, original blade grind. Something quite out of the ordinary. Think 25:th Anniversary Delica, with a (different) twist.
…and a different steel. I'd have a hard time going in for another Delica, even with incredible scales and bolsters, if it had VG-10. I think the steel would need something special as well (like Super Blue, HAP40, White Steel, etc).

… I should also add that any anniversary Delica needs to have the old pointy tip. I miss the old blade shape and pointy tip (but keep the FFG)!

I did put that in my "spec" :) Although i'd prefer 100% 1990 blade i'd accept FFG, i just feel there are more than enough FFG Spydies currently and would really wish for a OG Delica/Endura and Native..

I wouldn't be interested in those steels. Or an integral clip. What would be special about it if it wasn't any different from the originals?
Dress it up, is my opinion.

Would love to see a skeletonized blade like the Q/R with some machined carbon handles and Ti hardware. Something more modern and showcasing current advancements.

What did you have in mind? Something that was done by Santa Fe Stoneworks maybe.
