Is the blade about the same thickness as the FFG Delica4?

I really like the blade/handle ratio here, they shoved a good deal of blade into this guy, and the black clip is the perfect touch against the CF, it almost fades away. Lock back also seems like the best choice on something this size. This is one sweet little knife!

It appears to be peel ply, and I hope it is, it is very durable stuff.

Gray would be relatively easy to dye green, blue or brown, or you could just replace the scales. Wouldn't those options void the warranty though? One of the reasons I appreciate Spyderco's knives is due to the great warranty and service. Of course I always hope to not need it but it's nice to know ...

G10 swap?

Sorry if this has been asked before, tried the search with not much luck. I'm wondering what is the feasibility of taking a standard Para2 S30V with Camo or Black G10 grips and swapping those to a Para2 20CP (sprint run) with the Grey grips? Will this require any machining? Is it something Spyderco ...

I've seen the Grey G10 in person and to me it just seems like it would require more maintenance to keep it looking the way I'd want, albeit a small amount of maintenance but still, call me lazy :) The S35V sounds interesting, but already having an S30V blade I'm more inclined to check out something ...

Request: Para2 Blue G10 20CP

Missed the Grey G10 sprint of this awesome knife, the only thing I'd change about it would be the color. I think another run in Blue or Brown G10 would be super sweet and allow those of us that missed the first go around a chance to check out this new metal as well.

Thanks :) :spyder:

Spyderco has them at Golden. I was there earlier this year and was debating betweem the gray Carpenter Para or the Camo. I chose the Camo. When I got to the car, I pulled it out to play with it while I was driving about 90 mph down I-70 (just kidding) the Gray Para was in the box. I guess that I co...

Great rundown of some of the popular steels!

Any chance there's an updated version of this thread that includes some of the more recently used steels, including those only used in sprints or limited runs? Or an update to this thread would be even better to have it all in one place :)
