>>928408I lost my EDC - which was a Kershaw Oso Sweet - last weekend while out innadesert shooting. Just found out I work down the street from BladeHQ, how convenient. I'd been wanting the Delica 4 for years now, just never really wanted to make the investment, but when I found out I worked so close by and I needed a new one anyway I went over and picked it up.
Straight out of the box on my first attempt to flip it open, it bit me a nice gash right on the base of my thumb. This is a sort of ritual for all my EDC knives that end of being good, so I think we are in for a great relationship. Looking forward to seeing how it holds up.
>inb4 gross safety orangeI got the orange as to avoid leaving it behind anywhere and just making it easier to find.
>Opi No.8Nice. I loved my number 8, bought two of the Carbones and one stainless for more /out/ related activities before I got my Mora. They are great knives, and you can have some fun with forcing a patina on the carbon blades which is pretty cool. I'd recommend sanding down the end a bit to give it a more natural curve - I felt that made the grip far more comfortable. I also put some wood finish on mine and sanded it down just enough to avoid the gross glossy texture without losing the color. Opinels are in my opinion so of the most customizable knives just because you can do so much with the wood and blade.
