Gin-1 Delica

[Skinner]

I was lucky enough to recently snag a beautiful Gin-1 serrated Delica clipit. From what I can tell it has had little to no use over the years. I was hooked with a 3rd generation combo edge Delica in my younger years that unfortunately is the only knife I have ever lost. I am lucky to own a great example of the knife that started it all. I feel it would be a disservice for this knife to not be a user. I am interested how the serrated Gin-1 holds up as I have heard it is a much better performer than its plain edged counterpart similar to H1.

Even though it's an old model it's still a good one. GIN-1 blade steel was a good steel for serrated edges. I still have one full SE GIN-1 folder but don't use it anymore. Sometimes I have a knife long enough I just retire them. But that should be an excellent full Spyderedged classic that will give you great performance. I never really liked GIN-1 very much on plain edges because I never could get a plain edge in that steel to hold an edge very long.

But in Spyderedge it's a really tough steel for those types of edges IMO.
