              Seul that is my favorite knife that I have ever owned. The f&f is unreal. The blade is razor sharp. The leather pouch is stunning and his pricing is very reasonable. You should really look into treating yourself to an Ohta.

                No clip and that opening system is not for me.

                        This should be a practical EDC.  For my purposes it seems just about right.

                          It's a very good knife!.. Too big for me to handle comfortably, but the best introduction knife…

                            Thanks Seul.  Yeah I went for the Delica vs the Endura because of size.  Time will tell though if it's too big for me too.

                                Picked up my first pocket knife recently, Spyderco Sage 3.  So far very impressed by it.

                                I am using it at work for cutting up fruit at break times, complete overkill for this task but I am enjoying owning a nice knife that is easily capable for what I need it for.

                                Being a Brit, owning and carrying a pocket knife is not really in our culture.  My Wife was pretty shocked when the knife was used on Christmas day for dealing with some of the more stubborn present wrapping and packaging.  I joked with her that I had bought it to deal with the Turkey!

                                Being new to all this, what kind of lubrication would use for the blade pivot?

                                There is no 'I' in team …............ however there are five in 'individual brilliance'.

                                        Wasn't the town of Sheffield known for their knife makers?

                                          your knife and cutlery history is absolutely spot on.

                                          Sheffield has a long history with steel, mainly domestic cutlery.

                                          In 1912 a Sheffield based gentleman called Harry Brearly working for the "Brown Firth research lab" developed stainless steel.  It was originally developed for making guns but the materials suitability for cutlery became apparent and the Sheffield cutlery industry was born.
