Delica mods
Love the old school straight spine delica and for a bit of flavour I have added a little swedge.
Not huge changes but a bit fun and make me think a little Paramilitary and a little dragonfly while retaining the ergos of the delica.
This delica has been around awhile so it’s scuffes up and sports a 17 degree bevel.

Re: Delica mods
Nice job!
That swedge looks nice on it!
And I agree that the straight spine is nice.

Re: Delica mods
I'm not sure if it's something I'd like for my Delica, but that looks like a clean swedge - well done!

Re: Delica mods
This was just done by hand on one of those lazy Sunday arvos.
Makes me want to get back into doing something in the shed.

Re: Delica mods
I’ll be interested to see how the tip holds up.
I actually did leave a slight down turn to the tip but it’s more gradual than standard.
That said however I have always wanted a kahr delica..

Re: Delica mods
I’m gonna say probably nah..
Mostly as I haven’t held a stretch 1 to really feel the difference...
I should start a go fund me/knife donation service
Re: Delica mods
After playing with this for the last few days tho most dramatic change is the tip boy is that guy pokie.
It makes me think of the blade on the clipitools a little.

Re: Delica mods
Very good work, looks nice! Though actually I like the Delica (and Endura) especially for the stouter tip and am sometimes thinking of going the opposite way on my Millie - shaping the Tip more Endura-like.

Re: Delica mods
If you do it some day please tell me how you modded the HANDLE (and added that hook on the rear end)...

Looks good: I like the blade. Not too wild about the choil, but if it floats your boat, good for you.

Re: Delica mods
Looks really well done Daveho. The job I did adding a choil to my Pacific Salt looks comically bad in comparison.
Re: Delica mods
Thanks kindly, it came out really well.
I need to sort the handle aswell but for now it works great.
