Re: Black/Gray Zome + Damascus Delica and Endura Distributor Exclusives
Tried for a decent comparison shot of the new saber-ground blade with the previous Sportsman’s Supply exclusive FFG blade (I swapped the foliage green scales for white):
I haven’t handled a Delica with thicker blade stock in a while and I forgot how much more noticeably blade-heavy (front-heavy) they are.

Re: Black/Gray Zome + Damascus Delica and Endura Distributor Exclusives
Both are very cool and beautiful in their own way, but these sabre grind blades are totally mesmerizing. The older style looks like whisps of smoke, though. Very nice.RadioactiveSpyder wrote: ↑Sat Nov 14, 2020 6:54 pmTried for a decent comparison shot of the new saber-ground blade with the previous Sportsman’s Supply exclusive FFG blade (I swapped the foliage green scales for white):

This is a really special knife, I'm glad I have one. I have definitely slowed down on my spydie buying but this one still captures that new spydie thrill.

My boss just handed me a wrapped box 20 minutes ago, it's a Zome Damascus Delica, Merry Christmas to me! I've got so many knives on my "to purchase" list that I would have never personally bought this one for myself!
Gotta say, it's a very very cool little knife, very busy but in a great way! I'm impressed.....and it didn't cost me a dime! :D

Re: Black/Gray Zome + Damascus Delica and Endura Distributor Exclusives
I have a question about VG-10 Damascus steel. Would the VG-10 Damascus technically be considered a different steel than regular VG-10?

No, because it is a VG-10 core and the "Damascus is layered over it for effect.BLUETYPEII wrote: ↑Fri Dec 25, 2020 11:17 amI have a question about VG-10 Damascus steel. Would the VG-10 Damascus technically be considered a different steel than regular VG-10?

Are the layers over the VG-10 core VG-10 as well or is it something else?Doc Dan wrote: ↑Fri Dec 25, 2020 11:02 pmNo, because it is a VG-10 core and the "Damascus is layered over it for effect.BLUETYPEII wrote: ↑Fri Dec 25, 2020 11:17 amI have a question about VG-10 Damascus steel.

Re: Black/Gray Zome + Damascus Delica and Endura Distributor Exclusives
I don't recall. It seems as if I remember some layers are VG10 and some another steel. Someone else might remember more exactly.BLUETYPEII wrote: ↑Sat Dec 26, 2020 12:27 pmAre the layers over the VG-10 core VG-10 as well or is it something else?Doc Dan wrote: ↑Fri Dec 25, 2020 11:02 pmNo, because it is a VG-10 core and the "Damascus is layered over it for effect.BLUETYPEII wrote: ↑Fri Dec 25, 2020 11:17 amI have a question about VG-10 Damascus steel.
