I have one Federal student who has been using his for 3+ years now with no issues. He also hooked up his coworkers with some and as far as I know, theirs are still going strong.

Stay safe,

I absolutely love this, and will be getting one either way, but are we really talking $99 here?

Enjoy your edges folks:)

That's what it looks like, based on the pricing info at Kahr's website. But, I suppose look at it this way: it's basically more of a specialty/limited edition model, hence the increased price. Still a must-have for the Kahr fans out there. ;)

I really like these knives, but I don't have a Kahr pistol. I might just have to get both so I have a pair. I've been wanting a small 9mm for a while now anyway. :rolleyes: Which of the Kahr 9mm pistols is the smallest? Anybody know?

PM9 or CM9. I've been carrying a PM9 almost every day for about the last 8 years. Great little gun! I definitely plan to get one or two of these little Kahr Delicas. :)

Thanks. I was at the Kahr site when you were responding. 8 years! That sounds like an endorsement to me. I'm going to a gun show tomorrow, so we'll see if I find anything interesting. :D

Does anyone know if these are shipping? They are listed on the Kahr site but I don't see anything about availability.

:D Kahr envy.

Was probably never going to see one down here. So I thought I would try and make one myself.

Add one sacrificial Spyderco Salt.

As rough as guts; :) but I now have my own H-1; Delica Kahr unofficial copy.

Being H-1 steel, I thought I had better not to take the angle down as much as with the VG-10 on the Delica.

Yes :o I was bored and had nothing better to do, than to mutilate one of my Spyderco collection.

Nice mod. I'm sure the H1 can take the angle just as good as VG10.

Sweet job there, Reject. I really like it. Looks like factory-fresh to me. ;)

I'd take the Salt over the more expensive Delica - nice work.

Sounds like you want a Jandura.

FYI for those interested, the Kahr Arm Delica series are also available at BladeHQ, although they are obviously not yet available (I would assume early May when Kahr releases them). Here's the link for the tan khaki one:

Cost is much more reasonable than going to Kahr Arms directly (going direct will cost you about $30 more). Hope that helps! Cheers, Radioactive

Thanks for the tip, Radio! Now it's going to be even harder to refuse these. The khaki and that particular shade of blue are hard to come by around here, and that configuration would be great for those situations where I need a short blade, but my hand remains the same size ;) :p

Note to self: Less is more.

I stopped by the Kahr booth at the NRA convention on Friday. I was able to get a picture of the prototype along with my Delica for comparison. You can see a couple of production knives in the background. I spoke briefly with Marc Galli and he said they should be available next month.
