I'd try it if it could be made grippy.

I think delrin feels nicer than ultem (which feels dry and slick)

Ultem is kinda like G10. Not quite as good as micarta, but better than Delrin.

Delrin is very similar to nylon. (functionally, not chemically). If I were going to use a shitty plastic for scales, I'd probably chose nylon, it was invented by a Carothers!

Yeah, but they did invent single malt?

My only experience with delrin would be the scales on my Schrade pocket knives from way back.
I always liked it on them.

Same with Case. (Especially yellow.)

Cool photo. It's a really nice knife. If it had been around back then, I might not have to look so hard for the AEB-L UF1. Then again, who am I kidding

He got a great example, it was hard to find any inconsistencies in the grinds or the swedge and it came nice and sharp, I was impressed! It fit the kydex UF2 sheath perfect too which he was happy about so he didn’t trash the nice leather one it came with.

Only needed cleaning after making the peanut butter sandwich for lunch -

Which the DEF with the two bevels is perfect for

Sadly my brother had his UF stolen this weekend in Austin TX. Had taken it out of a backpack from hiking and put in his cars center console and forgot when he got home. 2 guys broke into a bunch of cars on the street and stole one + a bunch of stuff. If anyone sees a UF with an engraving that has a set of Initials then West Point 2019 for sale please let me know.

That is sickening. My dad left his West Point class ring in a hotel. He put the word out a it was actually found and returned to him. Hopefully your brother will be afforded the same good luck.
