Delica IV ZDP-189

[nozh2002]

Finally I got it! Sal announced it about year ago, and It is here now.

Thanks, Vassili.

I like this Delica better than any other since the integral clip ones in GIN1 steel. The new handle is top rate but the ZDP steel makes it that much more appealing.

I don't see a weld line, like on the Calypso.... Am I missing something.....
Is this blade not laminated?

The Delica is solid ZDP-189, not laminated. :thumbup:

Yes, it is solid piece of ZDP-189, as Sal promiced sometime before.

Thanks, Vassili.

That's an awesome knife. Great pics.

Is that handle like an off blue color or is it grey?

:thumbup:

 

[nozh2002]

It is blue as it is on the picture. I'll make few shots on different background.

Thanks, Vassili.

Awesome looking knife. I want one! I have a Native in S30V. How does the size of the Delica compare? Thanks.

Awesome pics! Thanks, those really help me compare. I love the dimensions and shape of the new Z-Delica.

Just got mine last week. Spyderco scores again! I am always amazed how sharp these come from the factory, mine easily performs "tree top trimming".

When I picked it up, the "dropped" nose threw me a little, I thought that perhaps I had gotten one with a re-ground tip by mistake, but all the pics that I have seen have confirmed this is the design. I've really enjoyed using it, and looking forward to more ZDP models.
