Yeah the Native does seem to have chipping problems. I'll probably end up getting one because I absolutely love the ergonomics of it, I'll just try to be a bit careful with it.
I really like my new Delica. The lock sounds real sturdy when you open the blade. The ergonomics don't fit me quite as well as the Native...I find myself re-adjusting my grip sometimes when I first pull it out. Overall it seems very strong and well built. Sharpest knife out of box for me as of yet too. Getting used to the hole int he blade, I like the way it feels when the blade is open, the hump part of it.
One thing I noticed that if I want to change the clip to tip down carry, I have to dissasemble the blade axis. Does this affect my warranty, or would I have any trouble getting it back together so that there is still zero blade play? I don't want to take it apart for some minor clip preference if it means messing up the alignment and such. I'm good at taking stuff apart and all, just trying to be careful.
