As I previously said I would do, I used this knife all week long at work and never cleaned it up. Looks like Flitz and mineral oil for the win again! You can see on the cleaned up picture with the show side, there appears to be a line on the blade. I'm not sure if I didn't buff it long enough (only did so for about 30 seconds), but atleast it's not an scratch that goes into, or beyond the coating. Though it's only been a week, TiCN seems to be holding up as well as DLC...thus far.

They are starting to hit eBay now. It was probably a stressful two weeks for the flipper scumbags having to hold onto these knives until they sold out. Makes me happy to think about. :)
This x 2.

I've gotten "scratches" in both DLC and TiCN, but as people here suggested, the dlc scratches were actually trails of whatever I rubbed the blade against, and they buffed off with flitz. On my Pac Salt I haven't been able to buff out these scratches and they continue onto the edge, making me think they really are scratches through the coating. With that said, these were from scraping hard against rocks while cutting out buried roots in my garden, so they were well-earned and I have zero complaints about TiNC. Still, I don't think dlc would've scratched like that under the same circumstances.

This is my first Delica and I have to say it is a beautiful knife! I've had an Endura before and I have a Dragonfly. This seems like a great balance between the two.

I missed out on the initial release of this Delica, especially since I have been wanting to try Cruwear for a while. I was able to pick one up off Fleabay, for the same price DLT had them for so I am pleased. Should have it in my hand in the next few days.

Finally it's here :)

Picked it up today at the customs office. It's my first Delica and my first Cruwear, so I'm a bit excited to see how it is on the stones.
