Thanks, Vassili.
Planterz said:Spyderco is also putting out a Delica with an ATS-34 laminated ZDP-189 blade (blue handles)
That is my understanding as well.s0rce said:IIRC they changed the Delica to be solid ZDP-189.

Are there currently any plans for larger knives in ZDP? Manix? Military maybe?
Say it's so...I need a head start to begin selling off my knife collection. Or, better yet, just give me Spyderco's bank routing info so I can just have my paycheck direct deposited into your account.![]()
