Well, if Spyderco is listening, we have micarta and G-10 as want to have scales for the Delica. I suspect the same results would apply to almost any lock back folder. As I mentioned before, a reasonable compromise could be reached by offering these knives with full liners, steel back lock and spacers, and using the FRN scale set...just call it "The Mid-Weight". :D
This option is unlikely as the FRn scales are nested and to use them on the full liners would thinken the knife. New FRn molds for this application would probably be too expensive.
The G10 or Micarta options would be much more feasible do to cost or production. This of coursre is Spyderco's call. Just my opinion.

I would pay over $100 for a delica with full liners and a steel spacer. I don't care what material the handle is made out of, with full liners it's easy for me to make my own G10 handles for it. I wish spyderco catered more to DIY pimpers :DAlnamvet68 wrote:Well, if Spyderco is listening, we have micarta and G-10 as want to have scales for the Delica.

Me too. The fundamental problem with these FRN handled offerings are that it ruins it for DIY's, and custom scale makers, who essentially cannibalize a an existing knife with full liners and steel spacers, and simply replace the OEM scales with their own creations. Try doing that with a FRN handled Delica or Endura...one would have to manufacture from scratch liners, back spacers, etc.bpeezer wrote:I would pay over $100 for a delica with full liners and a steel spacer.

Call me boring, but I'd like a Delica or Endura in black G-10. The foliage green (and other colors) has never flipped my switch. What has cooled my lust for the Delica in G-10 was my personal discovery of the Native5 (G-10). Sure, it's a tad heavier than the Delica, but closed it's shorter than the Delica. A great EDC for those of us who love the Delica and the Endura. And, it's G-10.

Foliage Green is superb, but how about Coyote Tan? :D
Micarta, I'm surprised to see such less knives with that material !
Also Ceraglas, Kirinite, Woods, etc...
:cool:

Re: Delica 4 in G10 and in Micarta
I have a line on a g10 delica I wasn't collecting back when this came out so I'm just wondering if anyone knows the street price of one now?
Current favorite: Manix 2 with carbon fiber scales and cru-ware.
Re: Delica 4 in G10 and in Micarta
Pretty sure I got mine for just over 100, but that was years ago and it was not commonly available then.

Nice thread bump!
As common as a Delica seems, it almost feels like my current "grail folder" is actually a G10 Delica! I didn't even know the term "grail knife" until joining these forums, haha. But seriously, I cannot find one!

I saw one on an Italien web site, but it was something like 250 € :eek: :confused: :eek:
Hope for this price it's delivered by a pin up :D
Want delica and more black G10 stuffffff ! :D

Re:
I would be down for a couple as well … at current prices, we are paying just about that for just about any G-10 offering other than the D-Fly or other LBK's …Alnamvet68 wrote:I'll take three.Gunslinger wrote:$118 - $127 for a g10 Delica, I'll buy 2

I have more Delicas than any other single model, always looking for a new one, tons I don't have now, but I'm all for a couple more.
