I really love the multicoloured FRN handles available for the Delica 4. I positively have to get the Foliage Green and the British Racing Green ones, and the Red blunt Delicas
One of the best small blades I've handled. It seems a lot larger than it actually is. The grip is the surest for a stainless steel handle, due mainly to the deep choils and curved belly at the end of the handle.
Dan, it seems to me that you have a different variation of the Yo. I have looked at all of mine and numerous pic's of others and was not able to find any that have the jimping that continues down on the sloped portion of the spine like yours does. Very interesting. :D
It's amazing what that invention of Mr Dremel can do :eek: (just kidding !). I actually didn't even realise that mine was odd. Obviously mine is the elusive Sprint Run of Yoyo's and highly prized.
You mentioned that you were surprised at the size of the Military, wait untill you get a Police in your hands. It's actually about the same length as the milli but feels much longer.

good eyes Felly.... what's the explanation for this? :confused:
You don't see many Pride's being proudly displayed in many collections. I recently got this one and feel it deserves a place in most collectors arsenal.

....She smiled at me and gave me a Vegemite...sandwich... :D "
(If you like savoury boot polish then give Vegemite a try ....toast, with butter and Vegemite :p ...not for everyone, but a healthy alternative to jam....occasionally)
With G10 and upswept PE blade what more can you ask for :D . Solid mother with a fair heft to it, it locks open with authority and the blade thickness is FAT !
Beautifully crafted traditional Spyderco. Large blade, large handle generally good all-round knife.
Stainless Steel version is gleamingly solid. Very nice tight F&F, and a solid weighty heft makes it a classy piece. Very elegant that takes especially well to engraving.
Waved version is sur[risingly light, thanks to the FRN handles. Great waved feature deploys the blade very quickly in any given situation. I like the Grey/ green colour very much.
sweet pix Dan.....you're on a roll.... :cool:
Savoury boot polish eh? I remember having the Men At Work cassette tape :eek: back in the day..... I always thought vegemite was "peanut butter" :o
So what does it taste like really? :confused: :)

Felly
So far I think your a nice bloke. Lets keep it that way :p
...Anyway I don't think we should get into an Aussie verse US type discussion where we pick on each others stuff. It would be like shoooting fish in a bowl for us Aussies :D :D :D :D
What time is it over there ?? Shouldn't you be in bed??
