I was at a local knife shop today and they had a Delica 4 Saber Grind in a color I hadn't seen before. I thought their price was like $10 higher than usual but I'd never seen the color so I snapped it up. Is it a sprint run or something? I love the color and won't be selling it so I don't care. It's kinda grey and kinda blue-ish. Just curious. Box says C11PBK but when I google it, that comes out as black. I fully accept that I may be an idiot but I can't find this color combo online so I'm curious.

BTW - It is VG10. I saw there was a sprint run in this color with ZDP189 but can't find any info on it in VG10. CURIOSITY IS KILLING ME! I'm starting to think they just put the wrong handles on it. I'm 100% certain that it isn't a fake. Reputable dealer, etc... He didn't know what it was for certain either but didn't up-charge me.

This colour is the same as the colour used on the current standard waved Enduras and Delicas. For some reason it is often mislabled on these knives too. It blends in very well with jeans.

That's what I thought. It's the wave handles on a non-wave knife. Huh... The dealer took it out of the box with a new Spyderco shipment when I was there. That's actually why I was there because I'd ordered a Manix 2 lightweight for my brother-in-law for Christmas. So I know he didn't swap it. Weird. I guess I just have a unicorn. I don't care. I love the color and have no intention of selling it. Still kinda new to all this. Knew you guys would know!

If those are the BRG scales, then it looks like somebody did a swap and took the black scales with the zdp189 blade and left you with the vg10 and BRG.

I know the non-laminated zdp scales came in British racing green. Did they come in this colour as well? I have this colour on my waved Endura and Delica.
 
It's hard to tell in that pic, but I thought those were the BRG scales.. The Delica came in like a bluish denim color handle with saber ground zdp189 for a while, but are discontinued now.
 
Nothing looks green about them to me. Dark grey/blue. But I’ve been accused of color blindness before.
 
When I picked up my Waved Endura I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me, because I was sure it was spec'd as black. Then I got a Waved Matriarch that was definitely black. Side by side it's a bit more noticeable. It is suttle as a dark grey with slight bluish hue.
 
i played with settings on my phone...pic of scales still looks more like black than brg or a dark bluegrey. can ya take a better pic of the scales color? thanks.
