Do you know how much thinner it is %?
I usually thin out most of my blades for personal use. We use good enough steels to handle it.
Just as a bit of a tease; I mentioned earlier that there are two more versions based on th Shaman pattern. One is thinner stock and a lighter handle and the other is a "sans finger choil".

From the "Shaman - Primal Instincts" thread:
Re: Sal's Casual Bombshell Thread
That's unexpected. I wonder if this will be the start of a "performance series" of knives with thinner blade stock?
Re: Sal's Casual Bombshell Thread
This would please me a lot!
Imagine having the choice of a say a normal Delica, a Delica Salt, and a Delica Performance with the blade thickness of a Chaparral.

Sal on a possible FRN Shaman:
"As I understand it, Eric is planning an FRN model in addition to what I'm currently working on. the issue is capacity in Golden. So as models are put into queue, the time line increases."

Re: Sal's Casual Bombshell Thread
Hi Vivi,
No, The model you are speaking is is a Delica with a very thin high hollow grind. It's currently on hold due to other models ahead of it.

Re: Sal's Casual Bombshell Thread
Very much looking forward to high hollow grinds filling the void in Spyderco's lineup.

Re: Sal's Casual Bombshell Thread
There was a poll and discussion about this, started in 2018. Last year, Sal mentioned a Delica with a high hollow grind, and maybe some special heat treatments as well(we asked for it, I don't remember if Sal confirmed). It's worth a read anyway.

1. was answered
2. Weight reduction to be the same as the "live" blade. Also, trainers were originally all made with red handles so they are easily identified. Then customers were repeatedly asking for red knives with "live" blades so we honored their requests and made some red live knives.
3. We just got a quote back from the maker for a Curwear Proficient with Micarta handles. The price was not much lower than the S90V version. Sine the request was for a lower cost, we opted not to go forward. The majority of the cost is in the machining of the handle.

Re: Sal's Casual Bombshell Thread
Thank you, high hollow ground is my favorite grind. Hopefully it makes it to market. Maybe you can convince one of the companies having exclusives made to switch to that grind? Might help get it to market sooner?

Re: Sal's Casual Bombshell Thread
Where can I pay my money? A high hollow ground Delica would be a fantastic cutting instrument.

I'm exited to know the Performance Delica is in the production queue. A big thanks to Sal for indulging us knife nuts :D

Re: Sal's Casual Bombshell Thread
All I know is that a HG Delica would look amazing in photos. Nothing like the light transition effect on well-lit photos of a hollow ground blade.

Not sure if this qualifies as a bombshell, but here is a bit of information all you Shaman lovers might like to know:
