The Delica wharncliffe sprint run in HAP40 and burnt orange FRN is my all time favorite work knife. So much so that once they had been available for awhile and everyone who wanted one was able to get one... I went back and bought a couple more in case I lost or destroyed my beloved Delica at work. My work knife has been going strong for over two years now and I haven't lost or damaged it, so I figured I may as well deck out one of my spares and use it for an EDC (safe queens bug me).
I really like customizing knives with aftermarket parts/finishes and making it "your own"... Although I went a bit deeper down the rabbit hole with this build than usual. I have high hopes that the Spyderco custom shop takes off and is a hit. Being able to do something like this direct from the factory would be incredible.
I'm still looking for someone to do some custom milling and add either a blue mammoth tooth, Timascus, or maybe meteorite (if I can find one with acceptable contrast) inlay, but other than that the knife is done.
Build list:
Delica whancliffe HAP40 sprint
Flytanium titanium scales
Flytanium titanium backspacer (anodized by BladesWeLove)
Custom anodized and CNCed titanium screws (both sides), sleeves, and pivots (by xxxadrenalinxxx)
Razor Edge Knives titanium pocket clip (custom finish applied by Josh of @razor-edge-knives)
*edit
More to come!!
*Update
Damasteel blade is finished.
