Hey guys, I'm looking to get a Delica/Endura again for EDC and had a few questions about getting a Krein regrind. First off, if you have any pictures please post them, no matter what grind you had done. I was wondering what regrind is best to have done on these knives? I've only ever seen FFG done, but was wondering if it was possible to add a swedge to this, or do a 3/4 grind with swedge? Also, if I have him do a FFG, should I purchase and already FFG Delica/Endura, or get the saber ground version?

I'm basically looking for feedback from anyone who's had their Delica/Endura reground, and pictures. Thanks!
 
I bought a Delica in ZDP-189 with a Krein FFG Regrind, a friend is currently borrowing it so I don't have any photos atm, but it cuts like the dickens. If you do get a FFG grind done, I personally wouldn't add a swedge, the tip will be quite thin already and will pierce quite well without the swedge.

I think it would be a kindness to buy an ffg set if that is what you're going for, but honestly if you are set on a high, thin grind I would just buy a used pair, regardless of grind and send them in. Really I would focus on what steel you want in that blade.
