The FRN Delica needs . . . .

Actually, for all the people who want bigger opening holes, traction grooves, adjustable pivots, steel liners, and ELU-disassembly, I think the only thing the Delica needs (now that the blade's been shortened to below 3") is a wire clip. Seriously, the _only_ reservation I have about recommending the FRN Delica to anybody is the way the barrel-screw clip can torque and tear away at the "walls" that keep it from rotating. If this could be fixed, either through a wire clip or a Calypso-style 3-screw clip, I think the design would be taken as far as it needs to go in this incarnation (improvements in steel and polymers excepted, of course :D ).

Not that I'd turn my nose up at a full-flat-ground, G10-handled Delica in ZDP189, mind you ;)

I think the Delica is fine as is. If I were to make any improvement though it would be to make the Delica FULLY flat ground.
