Spyderco Delica 4 Lightweight Knife for Everyday Use

Since its introduction in 1990, the Delica has been a mainstay of the Spyderco product line. Together with its larger counterpart, the Endura, the Delica pioneered the concept of lightweight, clip-carry, one-handed folding knives and played a crucial role in popularizing fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) as a handle material.

In 2006, Spyderco completely redesigned the Delica, resulting in the current Delica4 model. To increase strength while keeping the weight to a minimum, the handle features skeletonized stainless steel liners encased within FRN scales boasting Spyderco's Bi-Directional Texturing pattern for superior grip.

Following the introduction of the saber-ground Delica4 with a black FRN handle, Spyderco has expanded the Delica4 lineup to include a version featuring the Emerson opening feature for quick deployment, a flat-ground version with a premium ZDP-189 blade, and a series of flat-ground VG-10 Delicas with different colored FRN handles.

Spyderco is a business that provides state-of-the-art innovation and product quality while maintaining traditional values and service. The Delica 4 family embodies this approach, offering a range of handle colors, blade grinds, and edge configurations, as well as a blunted training version and a model with the Emerson Opening.

The Delica4's FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon) handle is a polymer mixed with glass fiber, then injection molded into a formed and textured lightweight, high-strength structure. This material allows for a sturdy, yet lightweight, construction.

The Delica4 features a flat saber grind, which means the blade is ground with flat bevels that extend from the centerline of the blade to the cutting edge. This grind maintains full thickness through a larger portion of the blade, resulting in increased strength.

The Delica4 is equipped with a plain edge, which means the blade has no serrations or teeth, offering a smooth cutting edge.

In summary, the Delica 4 is a reliable, high-performance folding knife that has evolved over the years, offering a range of models to suit various user preferences and needs. Spyderco's commitment to innovation, quality, and traditional values is reflected in the Delica4's design and features.
