Hello,
Just a quick question.. Will the delica zdp be coming out in foliage green or other colors? If not I'll just buy it in BRG and a FG normal delica and switch the blades if that is possible.
Thanks for looking

probably because the lockbar will be "adjusted" to fit that one blade

swapping blades without moving lockbars may result in one blade having too much play, and the other one not locking up properly
 
maybe not such a good idea then...
argh, as usual you cant get exactly what u want.... must make a choice...zdp or foliage lol
 
Hi Triz,

No plans at this time for a ZDP Delica in any other colors than British Racing green. Sorry.

Switching out parts is not recemmended.

Most likely because in order to keep wear on the lock down, the locking bar will match the hardness of the blade. A ZDP blade and a VG-10 locking bar should result in a loose lock in short order.

I admit I might be missing something, as I'm a newbie at the idea of swapping out parts on knives, but I wonder why the preferred approach to this particular project wouldn't be to simply swap the scales. It seems to me that would simplify things.
 
You must be very careful taking apart the Delicas and Enduras. Being lock backs, they are under a lot of tension in certain areas, and once you take them apart, they can be very difficult to force back together without warping or hurting the FRN pegs and backspacer piece. I know this from experience. I wouldn't recommend messing with it.
