Black?! I thought it was supposed to be racing green?

Pretty cool factoid though, thanks for the link, though I can't seem to log on the full page of the knife description.

My actual notebook has not the best screen: as far as I see from the big pictures, I can't believe that the handles are black (look at the difference handle/clip; if both is black, why the difference?). But due to my screen I can't say if it's british racing green or not.

The description says "SPYDERCO DELICA 4 ZDP-189 STEEL"... "Dark Green Color Zytel Handle" :p
WhyNot.

sorry, it is green, my bad, it looks good, it's pretty hard to see it's green at first.

This one shows the color pretty well (at least on my monitor).

What's new is that CE and SE versions will also be available. A ZDP-189 serrated blade should stay sharp for a looong time.

Sorry Tony, I think it doesn't come out until next year. They decided to bring out the Delicas first, but the BRG Enduras WILL come out, if I have to drive to the factory store and stand on the counter until they do :D

Yes, I think that will certainly please many people. Most of my knife purchases have been plain edges recently, but I think I might want to pick up a combo edge ZDP-189 Delica at some point.

I've been slouching on getting a delica, I've just been sucked in by the nifty "abnormal" desings :D

But this SE ZDP D4 may just be the nudge I need! And the fact that it's in BRG just makes me happy! (I'm a car nut BTW :p )
