You probably never tried Centofante, but is 2mm stock and 0.3mm ( 0.11") behind the edge. One od the best slicers Spyderco makes. I just doubt, that 2.5mm Delica blade will be ground thinner than that.
I actually HAD a Centofante 3 for about a year or so...
Very good slicer, but only for stuff with not too much diameter. Sold it cause I prefer ffg over sabre hollow.
I think the sabre grind on the Delica will be higher than on the Centofante, which would enhance "sliciness".
/ Yes, of course K390 will stay sharp longer than VG10!
But it will also be much harder to touch up or repair - a realistic scenario, cause this knife will really be for testing out that thin grind and what it can take or not! Furthermore, perhaps people will go even further and give it a steeper edge angle than the factory. Much easier with VG10.
