Would buy. Would really like a drop point stretch 2 in that configuration.

I thought getting G10 on Seki knives was pretty expensive, and why a few of the models with G10 had been discontinued?

Yes please. I have the gray G10/Cruwear combos with the Stretch XL and the Ayoob; I also have the Baby Horn with VG10 and gray G10. A Delica or ENDURA would be excellent with Cruwear and gray G10.

It would be an awesome knife but likely above my price range like the S2XL was in this configuration

I’d be up for the whole Seki family getting this treatment. I’d probably buy a Dragonfly and a Stretch 2 with the straight clip point blade.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.

I’d buy them, but I’m not sure it would be a moneymaker for Spyderco.

I love the Delica, but I already have an FRN cruwear Delica, and FRN is better than G10, so I’m not sure if I would bite. Maybe just to have a g10 Delica? Idk, but I haven’t bought the Stretch 2 XL in this configuration yet, and I can say with absolute certainty that if they make an FRN version of the S2XL with a cruwear (or k390) blade, I would buy it immediately. Regardless, the Delica is the greatest knife ever made, so I will encourage anything that gets it in more hands and proves its popularity.

I ❤️ my Cruwear Stretch 2 XL. I love the full liner G-10 Seki knives and would love a(nother) cruwear Delica. It would be an insta-buy.

However, I would politic for a G-10 Cruwear *Endela*. There have been various full liner Delicas, but just the one pakkawood Endela. The Endela needs a fancier variant. 😁

Similar thoughts here. Would be happy to see it hit the market but probably not something I would pick up myself given the usual Seki G10 premium.

How about a CruCarta Delica? :tonque-out :tonque-out :tonque-out

As for the Stretch, I really like the curved upper spine and would like to see a CruCarta Stretch 2 (not XL) with the regular curved spine as shown below.

Since this a Delica thread, obligatory photo of lots of Delicas showing that there is still a little room left for the CruCarta Delica. As I have stated previously, I missed the Cruwear Delica when it released, so I would really like to see another drop with SOME type of scales. I'll make it work. :nerd

Yeah for sure please sign me up for a Cruwear, G-10 handled version of the Delica. I so much miss the ZDP-189 Delica that I once had and I think I might even like a Cruwear version even better. Bring it on !!!

There are so many great Spyderco models that I think would be much better if they made them with G-10 handles. And the Delica and/or Endura would both do well with a G-10 handle.

Absolutely. I would love to see Spyderco give the main Seki models both the Gray G10/Cruwear and Micarta/Cruwear treatment.

Delica, Delica Wharnie, Endela, Endura, and Jester, and Stretch XL in Cru-carta. I would buy them all, with many multiples of the Delica Wharnie and Jester.

That would be interesting. I don’t care if it’s Cruwear or not, but I despise FRN, so the gray G10 would be a nice change.

If that happens, I predict a $180+ Delica.

That was the issue with the SNK Exclusive Delica. It was a really slow seller for them because it was so expensive. I'm happy I have it but probably wouldn't do the Grey G10 Cruwear though if it's similar in price. I have 2 Cruwear Delicas plus the Grey G10/Cruwear Para 3 and PM2. I think I'm pretty well stocked haha
Of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most!
