Just get a k390 Delica, thin it, give it a gentle convex and you get as much high performance out of it as you can handle :)

If this project bears fruit, then my wish for a second stage experiment would be to apply as high a hollow grind to the Manix as is practical and to make it in something like MagnaCut, AEBL, or 4V. :star-struck

a manix ground like a gb2 would be really sweet sick.

Fixed that for ya ;)

David, I thought someone had kidnapped you! You're back! :grin-smiling-eyes

I'm trying to be "good" and not buy more knives, since I already have an order of magnitude too many for any sensible use.
However the Lil' Native LW and this are calling me back, that and a SPY27 UKPK that would get a set of custom micarta or G10 scales, or a Manix Salt, or a.....

Do we know anything yet what the HP Delica is?

Will it be HIC? … linerless and dressed in fluorescent blue?

Well, Half Life Alyx has been available for several years now, but it's VR only.

...VR doesn't work well for EDC knives :(

I heard the Delica HP is A.I. controlled and opens itself, cuts what needs cutting, closes itself, then reinserts itself back into one's pocket.

... where then it sharpens itself of course. ;)
Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)

I think that feature is on a upscale model that also has micarta scales.

Ahahah ! I had a hard time understanding my own sentence, had to read it twice, then remember how crazy the discussion got.

Now that you mention it, it must be embedded in some models already... I just bought a second Gayle Bradley 1 just because my first pristine one wouldn't go in my pockets or start cutting :woozy

A factory micarta Delica isn't *impossible*, just deeply improbable.
