Fireside sent me tracking info for mine for my Delica on Monday...but they still haven't even been dropped off at the post office :confused: I'd rather still assume they were on backorder then get teased like that!

Same here. Shipping label was created on Sunday, but the package hasn't actually been shipped yet.

Don't want to give you false hope, but I've shipped several things through USPS lately and the tracking didn't update as actually shipped until the day they were delivered!

USPS is having lots of troubles these days with tracking packages. I have no idea why.

System overloaded, and short staffed, I think.

I’m interested to hear how TeroTuf holds up over time. The polyester fabric sounds solid but the polyester resin matrix is typically both weaker and less chemically resistant than the epoxy resin in G-10 or the phenolic resin in micarta.

My gold twill scales from Dagestan supposedly "Arrived at the Post office Махачкала" on 22 April... and are supposedly "in transit," but USPS tracking says "Origin Post is Preparing Shipment"... if that makes you guys feel any better :eek: :rolleyes:

Got mine today. I'm about to start teaching back to back, so I'll be working 16+ hours for the next 10 days or so, but I'll try to get them on a Manix today and EDC them through these courses.

Mine came for the Delica today! I gave them some mineral oil for a darker look. May have overdone it though, felt a little slick afterwards. Hopefully they dry up a bit overnight. I like the way they look and feel, also a pretty significant weight reduction.

I used the black backspacer that came with the knife, and spray painted it silver because all the flytanium backspacers in satin color are on backorder. I should have sanded it a bit before spraying, doesn't look the greatest but will do for now. I'll post up some pics in the morning.

I’d love to see a pic of the forest green mentioned in the website. I’d really like to score some OEM green scales off the 204P sprints. But no one seems to get rid of those! My BHQ Para3 and my cruwear Millie need green :cool:

It's a very overcast day today, so these pics make the scales look SLIGHTLY darker than they appear in person, but not by much. I'm a fan though!

@TkoK83Spy That combo is very appealing. I might have to do similar to my bargain SE Wharny Delica.

Haha, that's exactly what that is! Couldn't pass up that knife in the deals thread last month...now it's suddenly a $130 knife instead of $52 or whatever it was. The backspacer actually doesn't look quite as bad as I thought it did last night. I may just leave it as is and see what happens. Thankfully I have quite a few knives so I won't be carrying it everyday, hopefully the paint sticks!
