Anyone have any experience with the stainless steel handle model?
Thanks for all the feedback and thoughts thus far!!

The FRN handles have steel liners and are very strong. The current catalog shows a Combo-edged FRN Delica at 2.6 oz. The Combo-edged Stainless model is 4.1 oz. The catalog also indicates full flat grind is not available with the stainless handle. The FRN full flat grind Delica weighs 2.4 oz. One of the charms of the Delica is its light weight. At 4.1 oz I'd opt for the new Par 3, which has a full 3" blade and sells for $120.
