Description:
This Spyderco Delica 4 knife has a flat saber-ground VG-10 stainless steel blade that is satin finished with a plain cutting edge. The handle is black FRN.
The blade on the Delica is premium VG-10 stainless steel from Seki-City Japan and features spine jimping that extends from the ramp to the top of the handle. The Spyderco original thumb hole on the blade allows ambidextrous one-hand opening for right or left handers and the phosphor bronze washers at the pivot make the blade action smooth. The Delica has a lightweight FRN (fiberglass reinforced nylon) handle with skeletonized stainless steel liners and a strong back lock mechanism. The handle features screw construction for quick, simple cleaning and adjustment. The FRN scales utilize Spyderco's patented Bi-Directional Texturing to keep your hand from slipping under pressure. The pocket clip is 4-way reversible for tip-up/down and left/right carry.
The Delica is a smaller version of the Spyderco Endura knife. Both knives have been extremely popular over the years thanks to their lightweight, high performance build and affordable price.
This was my first Spyderco, it came very sharp and held a edge decently, it fit great in the pocket and was definitely the right purchase. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good, budget EDC.
This is my most EDCed knife. I like it so much that I bought a 2nd one. No knife collection is complete without one.
Great knife, carried for 3 or 4 years with no issues. Very durable, smooth opening and tight lockup. Medium size blade makes it useful without being intimidating, truly a great knife for EDC. Only wish would be a deep Cary clip standard option.
Great knife, carried for several years. Extremely smooth opening and tight lockup. Durable and have no complaints whatsoever. Medium-size blade great for any situation.
The Delica saber grind is the perfect EDC knife. The VG-10 blade is easy to maintain and holds a good edge, and the size and weight make it disappear in my pocket. To me, it's the perfect multi-role pocket knife. I own many Spyderco knives, including the Tenacious, Endura, Several Manix 2's, Delica 4 FFG, and the PM 2. But the Delica 4 is the best for EDC IMO.
This little pocket knife has been lauded by so many people for its attributes and it rightly deserves the praise. Spyderco really hit the ball out of the park when they designed this knife. It fits comfortably in many people's hands and it's small and light enough where it just disappears in your pocket. I've got the saber-ground version because I wanted something with a stronger tip, I use my knife for puncturing more things rather than slicing, so this is what I went with. VG-10 steel made in Japan is not bad. Easy enough to sharpen with the Spyderco Sharpmaker, and keeps an edge well. The back lock is innately a strong locking mechanism and has no bladeplay at all. Love this knife.
