Pictures of "new style" Delica?

Jeff:
I don't have an image but I have examined the new VG-10 Delica and Enduras at a gun show and have seen one at a Sport Chalet store. With a passing glance it's hard to see a difference. But up close you can see it is a flat saber grind and the edge is thicker due to it. That also creates a slightly stronger tip due to more metal present.
I am glad the new Police model will still keep its present hollow saber grind.

Jim,
I finally got a look at two examples of the new VG-10 Delica's today; both the plain edge and 50/50 models. I couldn't see any difference whatsoever in blade design, and I was comparing side-by-side with the "old style" blades. The only way I knew they were new is the "VG-10" on the base of their blades. These knives appeared to be fully hollow ground as the past ATS-55 versions were. Are these oddballs, like the hollow ground G-10 Police knives were for awhile? Am I just missing the difference in their design and appearance?
How did you notice their differences in appearance from the old style models? Please elaborate on your observations if you don't mind doing so. I plan to go back there tomorrow and have another look.
Puzzled, Jeff/1911.
