Are these actually in a darker blue frn?? Those looks similar to the KnifeJoy exclusive blue than the typical K390 blue.

It's the same color as the other Seki K390's

I had a feeling, but thank you for confirming! That knife is going to be a super slicer.

Hello, first time here and mainly wanted to ask about Delica generations. For example, on Spydie website I viewed the "Delica 4", which makes me thing there have to be Delica's 1, 2, and 3. So, was just curious and didn't want to open a brand new thread:) Can anyone direct me to a website that has all the generations if I'm correct and that's a thing; thanks.

Hi, DEA1911:
Welcome to our forum. You are correct, there are multiple generations of the Delica (and the Endura). You'll find a comprehensive list here, https://www.spydiewiki.com/index.php?title=C11_Delica.

We hope you enjoy your time with us!

My Delica Wharncliffe K390 arrived,,, every bit as sharp as the earlier KJ wharncliffe with CPM 20CV.
Bevels slightly off in width from one side to other,,,, easily adjusted in future sharpening.
Classic "Sticky Sharp" is a trend with my K390 blades.

Regards,
FK

Action on the K390 is smoother than the action on the 20CV. 20Cv feels as if it is a little dry (which it isn't as I added lube). The LC200N and Hap40 are like the action on the K390.

Do the K390 Delica 4 wharncliffes have the little washer underneath the pivot screw?
My normal K390 Delica 4 did. The Knifejoy 20CV Delica 4s did not.

Mine came in a few days ago. :)

Me being me... I just couldn't leave things well enough alone, lol.

Navy TeroTuf scales, silver pocket clip, bronze anodized titanium hardware, and a brass backspacer that I used aging solution to darken. :)

I even had enough parts from all the Delica's I've modded to throw together a complete HAP40 Delica Wharncliffe. Unfortunately the lock interface doesn't quite match up, so I might have to have a custom lockbar made.
