Overview
The Delica 4 is one of Spyderco's all-time classics, masterfully crafted with precise blades and ergonomic handles. Engineered exclusively for KnifeCenter, this version is equipped with black Pakkawood scales and a Damascus steel blade. Not only does this knife look great, it is also built to perform!
The most dramatic feature of this KnifeCenter Exclusive Delica is its breathtaking Damascus-clad blade. Known as D.P.S. 15, the blade material is produced by Takefu Special Steel Company, Ltd. in Japan. It consists of a VG10 stainless steel core sandwiched between two outer layers of Damascus steel. Each of the Damascus layers is composed of 15 layers of forge-welded steel, beautifully patterned and etched to reveal the detail of the structure. The finished blade, which is meticulously flat ground for superior edge geometry, features a total of 31 layers of steel and offers an exceptional blend of strength, cutting performance, and beauty.
Not to the outdone, the black Pakkawood material that makes up the scales combines the durability and stability of a phenolic laminate with the rich beauty of natural wood. Unlike natural wood, you won't have to worry so much about Pakkawood shrinking, expanding, or cracking. It is also much better suited to moisture than standard woods. Full stainless steel liners, backspacer, and lock back complete this durable little knife. A David Boye dent on the lock release makes it less susceptible to accidental disengagement.
The Spyderco Delica is a classic for a reason. The slim handle still affords a full grip when open. An integrated thumb ramp with jimping affords the user excellent control when pressing the knife into hard work.
The Damascus blade rotates open easily thanks to Spyderco's signature opening hole. The Delica is an exceptional slicer thanks to its full flat grind, preferred by many for its cutting efficiency. A fantastic option for EDC, this exclusive Spyderco also comes with an four-position stainless steel clip, allowing for a multitude of carry options.
A remarkable expression of the Delica 4 design, this KnifeCenter Exclusive is sure to become a highly prized collector's item.
