All black FFG or saber Delica

#1

Post by Jamesdurso »

I am looking for an all black Delica with an FFG or saber blade, not a combi blade. I looked far and wide - online anyway. Did I not look hard enough or am I out of luck? Thanks.

Doesn't exist for some reason. :confused: Closest thing is a Salt 2, which is basically a linerless Delica in rust-proof H1 steel.

Second option is to buy the Cruwear Delica from DLT that dropped today, or the Pink TiCN coated Delica that is coming up, and then swap the blade and hardware into a black handle.

Third option is to help me and the other black blade fanatics on this forum to push Sal and team to add blacked out versions of the FFG PE VG-10 Delica, Endura, Endela, Police LW, Dragonfly, Ladybug, etc to the production lineup! :D

Fourth option is the GITD Zome w/ black plane edge blade.

If you go the swap route - then you can choose between VG10, S30V, or Cruwear.

It's been asked here why no standard production Delica with PE and black blade?

We are now starting to see PE black blades trickling in - but they are exclusives and charity.

Maybe one is still coming???

Fifth option is to use synthetic fabric RIT dye on any of the above TiCN coated blade models. ;)

Yep, I also came here to mention that you can dye scales. There are multiple models out now, or coming out soon, with black blades (yay!). Any of those scales would be easy to dye black.

So, it's just a matter of what steel you want: Cruwear is an excellent well-balanced tool steel and available at DLT now (but not for long):

Also available now: vg10 or H1 with black blades.

Available soon: s30v with black blade

Enjoy your Delica!

I remember there being an all black Delica gen 3 way back when, might have been a Gen 2.

How cool would a TiCN wharnie blade be in a delica? Even better, a hollow grind TiCN wharnie...we can dream, can’t we?

Yep,

If this is what yellow (Salt) looks like with midnight blue, khaki would be real easy to turn black.

Super cool, minus the hollow grind. ;) I am pretty excited for the blacked out Manbug Wharnie myself. They really need to offer blacked out versions of all of the Seki knives.
