Postboard seems to not like hot linking (when you display an image on this site which is hosted on another). I like Imgur.com quite a bit, they allow hot linking all day long. You'll still want to copy the actual image address, rather than the page it is displayed on, but this is pretty easy to do.

For what it's worth you can right-click the images in your original post (or lack of images) and "open in a new tab" in order to view the images on pasteboard. Excellent work, Spy4Life! I've long wished for something like this from the factory, it would make the Delica a no-brainer to me.

How do you like it in use?

Nice job! That's one of the reasons I keep my Lil Para-Delica around. I don't have an issue resting my finger on the kick of the regular Delica but mods like this make it a little easier

I use Imgur also. Copy and paste the imgur url link to any pic, then add img in brackets like this [ ] before the link, then /img in brackets after the link.

Look up member BOOMER52. He has wide variety to choose from. Mine are pretty basic from when he first started making them. He's active on BF too

I did a similar finger choil grind with Boomer52's Verrazano scales. It handles quite nice and I love the neutral grip.

Thank you, these are fantastic! Sorta like everything I wish my "Thin Blue Line" S90V KW Exclusive Delica was, these would be a very fitting replacement IMO... I'll post up the 'after' pics. :)

I really like these as well, if you have any suggestions I'm looking on IG for a set that would go well with the (Mass)Drop SuperGold2 Delica and it's gold lock bar... right now I just have a bronze MXG deep carry clip on it and I think it deserves something cooler looking, I really like the steel, I hope more is done with it in the future...

I was also considering something special for my SG Delica. BOOMER52 has a pretty good selection of colors. I haven't been paying much attention lately though. I've been thinking about buying some Terotuf scales for the SG in a color that complement the gold lock bar
