Spyderco Delica 4 Stainless Steel Plain Edge Knife

Description

Since starting spyderco we ve been told our knives are different, peculiar, even out there. All true. Thinking beyond established knife industry barriers allowed us to introduce new and Radical innovations to the knife culture including: one-hand opening, serrations on a folder and a clip to attach a knife to a pocket. We didn t go into business to rake in a mountain of dough we re here for more selfish Reasons- indulging our passion for creating knives. Spyderco is definitely out of the norm in the knife industry in our dedication to researching and developing fresh, improved and better performing materials all with function and reliability being key. Someone once said to sal glesser, spyderco s owner, "you must design in the dark because your knives look so strange." true again. Our recognizable appearance is a result of designing ergonomic functional tools rather than applying lipstick and nylons to a pocketknife. We may look curious, homely, whatever, but we ll never be called unusable or undependable. Making knives that consistently deliver reliable high-performance requires an ongoing commitment to testing.In 1990, innovative cutlery company Spyderco introduced a knife called the Delica, a first of its kind on the market, offering a unique combination of lightweight performance, one-handed opening and closing, and an affordable price. it quickly became one of Spyderco s top-selling knives, and the company has continued to refine the model over the years.

This is the fourth iteration of this keenly sharp, refined steel blade, offering screw-together construction that s durable and easy to clean. A satin-finished stainless steel handle feels solid in your palm, and a razor sharp non-reflective VG-10 blade is hollow ground. Crosshatched jimping along the blade s spine further improves grip, and phosphor bronze washers help smooth out the opening action. When it s time to move, a four-way clip offers a number of carrying configurations.
