This will actually be a Lone Star Wholesale Distributor Exclusive! It will be available at multiple dealers. :spyder:

Its happening and VERY soon!

This is a screenshot of the announcement from GPKnives on Instagram.

Whoa!!!

Looks slick! The silver clip is my preferred look for the Delica.

Wow!!

Dang! Another Delica I really don't need but won't be able to live without.

That one will be hard to resist. They are calling that dark gray but does that look blue to anyone else?

Yes, looks blue to me.

Good God! I’m totally in. And definitely looks blue...

Since when do Delicas come with Sal’s makers mark?

Wow, that’s a surprise.

Looks almost like the BBS blue Delica.

Sweet looking Delica. I passed on the M390 but I think I can't pass on this one.

I might have to buy my first Delica.

Wow. As great as this is, I'll probably pass and hope for a future Police 4 lw exclusive in Cru-Wear though.

I fully expected this to be a "wish/want" thread based on the title. I'm shocked this is real! Who else is up for a full run of Seki Cruwear Sprints??? I'm salivating at a Cruwear Dragonfly!

Great job on using the polished clip as well. The black Delica clips get banged up too easily.

Looks like I’m going to buy my first delica!

The Christmas bonuses at DLT are gonna be nice this year haha

Edit: I see it's GPKnives, not DLT. I like GPKNIVES too though!

No choil, no likey! Hopefully you all can snag one, nice color and great steel to boot!

That's how I feel with my positron. The grip is so far back that it feels awkward to hold the knife with my thumb forward and my fingers back.

Comparing to the other non-stainless PM tool steel option for the Delica, HAP40 - CPM CruWear will be a little tougher and a little less wear resistant, is that right? Basically more along the lines of 3V than M4? (assuming comparable hardness... I know there have been a couple questions about the hardness of the HAP40 models, which is difficult to measure with the softer stainless cladding)

Asking because I've been pretty happy with my HAP40 Delica performance-wise... aesthetically I like the mono-metal blade and dark blue/gray of this better than the clad blade and burnt orange of the HAP40 but not clear that I would functionally prefer the CruWear model.

Wow this is a surprise! It's going to be super tempting for sure.
