This is intriguing.

That's interesting. I'm not really a Delica guy but I'm sure many will love the combo. CPM M4 is good stuff.

Looks great. I hope they do an M4 Endura someday as well.

That’s a great price for a very high performance knife. I sure do appreciate the mint green FRN over the jade g10. I would bet that the Endura isn’t far behind.

YAY .... I've been asking for an M4 Delica! And have had to burden those that said that's stupid given current steel options. HA HA my day has arrived!

Hopefully BHQ''s "soon" doesn't happen prior to my replacement CC arriving...

I feel like this is where the Seki models shine. Vg-10 is quick to recieve complaints, though it works fine. When these exclusives come out in Seki models, you can get some interesting steels at pretty good prices(China manufacture is not in my mind). My Knifejoy exclusive in 20cv made a pretty interesting steel available at a good deal.

It will be interesting to see a M4 delica compared to a K390 one.

Since the M4 N5's are gone, I may have to get one. The Delica isn't my favorite knife, but what the hey.

How’s sharpening M4 on the sharpmaker?

No issue at all….M4 got a rap for not being easy to sharpen many years ago and it’s one of those things that once one YouTuber says it they all do. Takes a touch longer but it’s a steel that once done holds its edge very well and longer. Have sharpened M4 on basic entry level wet stones for years easy enough.

Easier than S30V in my experience. M4 has great ease of sharpening in my opinion for the edge holding and toughness you get. I'd be all over that Delica if I was a fan of the model.

Having a few knives in M4 and I picked up the M4 Para 3 LW in this colour I am good….but Bravo for $114 in a Delica.

This is one I will put a few mates onto for sure…

I’m sure a coated one is in the works, but the real question is will there be a wharnie version?

Yep. this.

Yep. this.

I don’t recall ever seeing a wharncliffe delica exclusive. I would be interested though.

That’s good to hear. I have a relatively easy time with s30v on the SM.

Endura please.
Not many Endela sprints....

Also, the current teal S30v wharnie is a MGE distributer exclusive.

I find that the Delica wharnie is so much better than the normal blade for me that I have lost any and all interest in the normal Delica blade shape.
