Does anyone a Delta Z knife out there? How solid is the CA legal mini-auto? Does it lock tight w/ no play? Is it easy to dissasemble? Any opinions on this knife or the 360 degree piivot??

I'm also interested to hear what folks think about these knives, especially the 360 pivot. Seems like it'd be a great frequent flyer.
 
We just got them in and they are excellent and priced right. They lock up tight, no play and are lightning fast. Cool colors too!

The 360 Pivot is impressive and we got the Serial #001 on the cover this month. It is the only one I have handled but if the regualr production is as nice as this one I will give them two thumbs up. I was so impressed that we have decided to carry the full line from Delta Z and look for many new tiems to come from them VERY SOON!

You can see many new Delta Z products on my site and at the Blade Show. Not to mention Barnaby is a great guy to do business with.

Without plugging the line more than any other, I'd have to say that Barnaby made a good move in offering the Mini Auto in six different colors; compared to the single color the S&W version is offered in.

My personal favorite is the Terracotta red, but for some reason I'm finding myself more attracted to natural handles instead of artificials these days... and the terracotta reminds me of Cocobolo.

Like Mike said, the opening is very snappy and lightning fast. No bounceback, and the DeltaZ on the blade is very tasteful. Personally, I find the Mini-Auto's to be among my top picks for a CA Legal auto.

I've messed with the 360 shown on the cover of BladeForums.com this month a bit as well, and it's very well executed. The Cocobolo box it comes with (it's an option for the 360 line) is pretty trick too. Machining is excellent, finish is perfect, and the built in locking liner is very cool.

In talking with Barnaby last week, he said that the new knives they are going to be offering are "cherry picked", so I'm looking forward to seeing what he has up his sleeves...
