Almost sold me on one. These pics will sell more than the factory shots.

Does anyone have a blade stock measurement of this Delica vs a regular old sabre grind delica 4?
My sabre grind delica4 measures .097" and combo edge (c11bbk) delica4 is at .098".
The promo pics definitely did not do this one justice. The damascus pattern is incredibly cool on the sabre grind.
Really making it hard not to pull the trigger on this... !!!

Tried for a decent comparison shot of the new saber-ground blade with the previous Sportsman’s Supply exclusive FFG blade (I swapped the foliage green scales for white):

I haven’t handled a Delica with thicker blade stock in a while and I forgot how much more noticeably blade-heavy (front-heavy) they are.

Both are very cool and beautiful in their own way, but these sabre grind blades are totally mesmerizing. The older style looks like whisps of smoke, though. Very nice.

This is a really special knife, I'm glad I have one. I have definitely slowed down on my spydie buying but this one still captures that new spydie thrill.

My boss just handed me a wrapped box 20 minutes ago, it's a Zome Damascus Delica, Merry Christmas to me! I've got so many knives on my "to purchase" list that I would have never personally bought this one for myself!

Gotta say, it's a very very cool little knife, very busy but in a great way! I'm impressed.....and it didn't cost me a dime! :D

I have a question about VG-10 Damascus steel. Would the VG-10 Damascus technically be considered a different steel than regular VG-10?

That’s a great question.....that I’d like to know the answer to as well. This is my first Damascus bladed knife and I absolutely know nothing about them!

No, because it is a VG-10 core and the "Damascus is layered over it for effect.

Are the layers over the VG-10 core VG-10 as well or is it something else?

I don't recall. It seems as if I remember some layers are VG10 and some another steel. Someone else might remember more exactly.
