Good Ol' Rocky and an 0454:D. The Rocky is so hard to take a picture of without something getting caught in the mirror finish!

Very nice ;)

Also, on the matter of that Spyderco, I think they are comin out with some really nice offerings later this year/early next year, but of all of them so far, the Nirvana is the one that I am most excited for :D

That Myrtle (I think that's how you spell that?) would be another one that was very interesting, but honestly I have come to really hate S30V...and probably not for any good reason if I'm honest. I just got really tired of arguing with it if it was going to be sharp or not, when S35VN is so much easier to work with for me.

Doesn't make much sense, because I never really had much trouble with M390, and even S90V, but S30V never seemed worth the effort enough...probably just me ;)

Still, it is a pretty knife...hmmmm my wallet is crying already ;) :D

You've never looked real hard before at Delica's have you :)
The contrast of the shiny and Stonewash finish really shows it up , but KT is right its so that if you want to carry tip down the pivot screw is not covered by the clip .

I didn't mean to make it sounds serious. :)
I have had three or four enduras and one delica. Even had one of those "space endura" white editions... propably should have kept it. : O

The Nirvana is quite nice, it just really kills me that for that price they didn't include a 3D machined clip. That alone is a deal breaker for me:(

I agree with S30V, however my issue is that it is really chippy and doesn't quite hold up to my use. It holds a great edge, but not for hard use (whatever that is)... I think I can look past the S30V for the Myrtle and Positron though:)

Agreed on the Nirvan, but I know some pretty good machinists who I know can make that 3D clip happen for not too much money thankfully. Depending on how Spyrderco does the machining holes for the clip, I might even be able to convisnce someone to make me a clip with hidden hardware, but that might also be a pretty tall task on an integral ;)
And hey, even if it costs me quite a bit to get the clip done along with the knife, I'll still be in pretty damn good shape compared to trying to buy a custom Nirvana on the secondary market...especially since the Spyderco version is less than 1/3 of the custom, and that's even if that clip turns out to be pretty expensive for me ;)

And yeah, that's one of the main problems for me with S30V as well. Sometimes you can get it with a nice heat treat and it's really nice then, but I don't like taking a chance, and have had too many knives where it would lose it's edge super fast because of minor chipping or would just start to become like the mouth of a shark if you weren't careful with it. Not quite the hardest steel to repair, but still more effort than I want to put in for that kind of performance.
