Picture request: D4 and Native

#1

Post by nabobz »

Hi all,
Could someone post a picture of a FRN Delica 4 with a FRN Native 2? I'm looking for a comparison of the overall size and also the handle thickness. I have a Native and and would like a foliage green or all black D4 but want to know how they compare in size.
Thanks.

No such thing as an FRN Native 2. It's either an FRN Native, an all stainless Native 2, or an FRN Native 3. Here's a couple shots of a Delica 4 with both the FRN versions. As for thickness, the Delica 4 is slightly (1/32" or less) thinner than a regular FRN Native and a good bit (around 1/8") thinner than the thickest parts of the Native 3 handle.

Thanks for the pictures Deacon. I always get the first and second Natives switched around. I have the Native I apparently. Thanks for the measurements also. I appreciate it.
