Feels substantial but not too heavy. Smoothness has it's benefits for feel, and pocket. And yes the pocket clip is magnificent. I should find a side profile shot, it's thick, but the great part is the contact area is like the clip on a fancy pen, just a little spot. It glides in and out of the pocket (with enough tension that it doesn't fall out).Wartstein wrote: ↑Mon Mar 04, 2024 1:32 pm
From a purely practical point of view I´d prefer FRN - but man, this is a great looking Delica and must feel so nice in hand!! (Steel my favorite PE steel anyway (given that HAP 40 and REX 45 is basically the same)
Also particularily like that the clip is different, but NOT loop over deep carry!!

The one that got away.
Cancelled since people felt $200 was too expensive for G10 and ZDP-189.

Re: What is your favorite Delica variant?
My 10 year old Super Blue one is probably my favorite.
It's been banged up, but still takes a great edge and does what I need it to do.

Really should be in the next calendar, if the orientation is correct for that version. Nice!

$200 in November 2016 dollars. Today, that’d be $275.

Re: What is your favorite Delica variant?
My default go-to pocketknife is a standard FFG Delica 4 in VG10. I'd like to have gotten a Super Blue or HAP-40 version, but don't know if it would serve me any better.
