Tip down carry… I know it's l/r handed... So Ti-Lock is only ambidextrous?..

Ti lock is like the sebenza, tip up only

Seul - If you're not 100% set on a tip-down carry, then maybe I can help convice you on the SuperBlue Caly 3. I have two and they're great. SuperBlue doesn't need that much maintenance. It is surprisingly pretty rust proof. A lot of people let it patina naturally, or patina it by sticking it in an apple, or white vinegar for a few minutes. The patina itself will help resist rust. I have also read that people wipe it with Marine Tuf-Cloth and put Tuf-Glide around the pivot to give it extra protection either after letting it patina, or not allowing it to patina that much at all.

Even if you won't EDC it, it is still a wonderful knife to have in your collection. SuperBlue is too damn cool, especially if you let it patina naturally. I'm actually still debating on whether or not to EDC one of mine. I currently rock a CF Caly 3 in the ZDP189/420J2 and it's suiting all of my needs. Only thing that is keeping me from not using the SuperBlue is the scales. The G-10 is pretty rough and I feel like it'll tear my jeans apart overtime. The CF just glides in my pocket.

Hope that helps a little bit because you NEED that SuperBlue

Then I have the whole definition of "tip up" wrong… Cause I need it to be like the Seb. Thanks DNG.

Thanks for the info about the SB. Let's just see how I like the Delica first...

No problem sir. The Delica is great as well!

I just ordered what could very well be my favorite knife ever…The Spyderco Techno I seriously think, this will take over the Caly 3 I've been carrying for months as my new EDC. I can't wait to carry this little beast!!!

I completely forgot to mention, but this tank is on sale over at Howes Knife Shop for $159. Easily the cheapest I've found. Here's the link for anyone interested: http://www.howesknifeshop.com/spyderco-new-releases/new-stock/spyderco-techno-c158tip-folder-ti/xhp-plainedge/

Howe's is awesome. I bought two Native 5's from them for $99 each, which is $21 cheaper than anywhere else. I think they're $109 now, but still a great price.

I'm on their email notification list for the Domino, Karahawk and SB Delica.

If my Delica arrives, and I like it, I will probably go for the SB as well…

Idea of buying a Ti-Lock has definitely not been abandoned, though…

Seul, it might be worth emailing the guys at Heinnie to see if they can get it for you. They're not a supplier right now, but they might be willing to give it a go. Great folks, best knife retailer in the UK. http://www.heinnie.com/
