Well the Reveal is out and.........
It was in there. It’s just so thin behind the edge you couldn’t see it.

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.....

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.

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
