    Grinder and slicer: quick comparison

    Here are my two latest babies. Hard to decide which one I like better... the "grinder" or the "slicer". The Caly 3 SE or the Delica FG G10.

    Both are small and have flat ground VG10 blades, full liners, backlocks and G10 scales.

    Let's take a look at some obvious differences:
    1. Edge type: PE or SE, versatility or raw power? See point 2;
    2. Blade thickness: for sturdiness, the Caly. For slicing ability, the Delica;
    3. Clip: the wire clip gives a lower ride, but is more difficult to access;
    4. Ergos: Delica fits my hand a tad better, but the Caly grip has more options.

    Conclusion, two great knives!

    Good stuff...two of my favorite knives!
    I prefer to ask for forgiveness rather than permission.
    I LOVE MY MILLIES

    In order to make the Grinder/Slicer comparison even more difficult, I just scored a CF Caly 3 (PE, ZDP), to take place as Slicer. Let's see how my first ZDP knife fares!
