Inspired by a request from one of Spyderco's customers who uses a Delica 4 Lightweight every day in his job, this variation features a flat-ground Wharncliffe-style blade crafted from VG10 stainless steel. The perfectly straight cutting edge of this blade profile provides the maximum transfer of cutting pressure--all the way to the tip--and provides an acute point that excels at detailed work. All other features of this workhorse design are consistent with the standard Delica 4 Lightweight model.
An equal partner in the history-making accomplishments of the Endura, the Delica 4 offers all the same outstanding qualities in a more compact package. The Delica 4 Lightweight family includes a full range of handle colors, blade grinds, and edge configurations, as well as a blunted training version and a model with the Emerson Opening Feature. All lightweight models feature skeletonized stainless steel liners for strength and textured handles molded from tough fiberglass reinforced nylon.
