I know that there is already a thread on the new Ospreys, but I just had to say that mine arrived today, and it is an awesome knife. When I took it out of the box, even my wife (who's definitely not a knife nut!) said, "Ooo, that's a nice looking knife". Here's my take on it:
-Fit and finish is excellent
-Blade grinds are perfect (which isn't easy on this blade shape)
-Scales are nicely matched and seated
-Clip is mounted high for unobtrusive carry (it's tip down BTW)
-Blade is perfectly centered
-Very smooth action
-Liner lock engages well, and it passed moderate spine whack tests
-Edge is razor sharp
-Anodizing on bolsters and teflon on blade have no flaws
I had never ordered a Delta Z knife prior to this, so I was a bit apprehensive. However, I'm a believer now. Nice work guys!

BTW - I couldn't find any blade/handle lengths on the Delta Z site for the Osprey. For those who were wondering, the OAL is approx. 7.5 inches, and the blade is approximately 3.5 inches. Weight is approx. 2.75 oz.
