In fact i didn't like it at first, it was a classic case of aquired taste :) I was weaned on Buck 110 and Schrade LB7:s and thought the Delica was very Toys-R-Us at first, but that tip never broke in spite of me jabbing it into wooden poles to get both hands free etc.Wartstein wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 1:05 pmLarry_Mott wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 12:34 pmWORD!captnvegtble wrote: ↑Mon Apr 19, 2021 6:08 amAnd please... keep the pointy tip of the older generation Delicas!
For me this depends on how much tapering on the spine is going on... If this model tapers exactly like the current Delica, but has a thin, high hollow grind, the tip would get very fine (fragile?!) anyway. Then the a bit reenforcing drop would be nice to have!
This knife will be about slicing, not about an extremely pointy tip for me...
Just my 2c of course. I don´t like when I have to worry about the tip when having to work fast and can´t take real care.
I believe you!
But still: The excact "first gen Delica tip" but in a thin high hollow... this could get a bit too fragile perhaps - ?!
