XVC11 is very close to HAP40 but I would still like to try it. What other options do we have?

YXR7, SLD, SKD-11 or SRS-15 all seem like good steel afi options. Daido also has some interesting products with Cowry X and the DAP 520-580 series of steels.

Unless people want to go the opposite direction and would favor a more straightforward carbon steel Sprint.

There are also steels like Gin-3 (Silver 3) if people would prefer a steel along the lines of AEB-L.

Whatever the steel ends up being, im looking forward to a G-10 Endura.

I would like to try any nonstainless steel. And would be very happy if it wasn't laminated, but that's far from a deal breaker

More sprint run Delicas pretty please.

Sign me up for the AEB-L analog. I'd buy two, one to swap into an FRN handle.

Sal any progress here?

super blue or hap40 in G10 would be awesome! Non-clad though please

Pretty much any steel for a G10 Delica sprint would be good with me. I've been wanting a heftier Delica since I sold my Foilage Green D4 last year.

I'm a bit intrigued by YXR7.

Either way, I will be paying attention here to see where this may go. :)

+1 Agreed. :)

Just saw the Endura in Super Gold pop up.
Wasn't expecting the gold plated backspacer, but looks nice; might have to get one now :p

The new SG looks good. But Massdrop has it. Why not the other vendors?

Cause it's a Massdrop exclusive?

Really, people, buying from massdrop is just as easy as buying from any online vendor. You’ll have to create an account first, but you were gonna fill in all that info when you checked out anyway.

Hahahaha. It’s done.

I have never bought from them. At one time they would not allow overseas folk to purchase. I see that has changed.

(my comment about "why" only massdrop was meant as, why did it have to only be massdrop and not some regular vendor so I could get one.)

I received an email from Massdrop a little while ago stating that these are on their way to their warehouse and orders should be shipping out soon.

Received an email from MD yesterday saying the Endura is shipping next week! :D :D

This will be my first Delica, if I can get someone to sell me one
