About this item
Product details
In 1990 Spyderco shook things up by introducing two knives, the Delia and Endure. First of their kind on the market, both folders opened up the knife market to lightweight performance, one-hand open pocket knives that just about everyone could afford. They settled as Spyderco' s top two bestsellers and their improvement hasn't slowed since. Refinement has been so ongoing and continual Spyderco tagged the updating/upgrading process with the term CQI- Constant Quality Improvement. During the Endure and Delicia's CQI journey Spyderco tweaked ergonomics, refined blade steels and fine-tuned their performance countless times. They are an evolutionary work in progress and the next level is here with the new Endura4 and Delica4. Both models now have screw construction making cleaning and adjusting easier. The fiberglass reinforced nylon handles come molded with Bi-Directional Texturing for preferred traction and improved ergonomics. Inside the handle dual skeletonized stainless steel liners make the knife stronger without adding weight and make an anchor for all external and internal components to attach through adding sturdiness and rigidity. Their VG-10 blades are flat saber-ground with a stronger tip and larger 13mm opening hole. Added to the blade's spine is slip resistant jumping. Phosphor bronze washers smooth out the open/close action and the clip is upgraded to a four-way tip-up, tip-down, left- or right-handed clip.
- Saber-ground, Plainedge VG-10 stainless steel blade;
- Injection-molded, black Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon (FRN) handle with Bi-Directional texturing for a positive grip;
- Mid-positioned back lock with David Boyer Dent locks blade securely open and prevents accidental closure;
- Closed Length (Inches): 4.25,
- Overall Length (Inches): 7.155,
- Blade Length (Inches):2.875

a little wierd looking...
I like the Spydercos in general. I love this one and the Dragonfly specifically. The Delica is a great knife. It fairly lightweight, but has steel liners. It is user adjustable, comes in a million options and if that's not enough, you can cut stuff with it, too. The VG-10 steel is a nice one from Japan that is very hard and has a very fine grain from the vanadium they manage to squeeze into the steel's crystaline structure. The finer grain means a very sharp blade. It's also quite a sturdy blade. The VG-10 also lets you put a steeper angle on your grind so that it can be even sharper and still have the same durability of say, an AUS 8 blade. Again, as for options, this thing rocks. I like this version the best myself, but you can get it with a serrated edge, or the Spyderedge which is sort of half and half. I don't like serrations myself because they are nigh impossible to sharpen at home, but they excel if you need to cut twine or rope or something. There are more choices for handles, now. There's your black Fiber Reinforced Nylon (FRN), now there's a blue, yellow, purple green and gray. There's also a G-10 in black or in foliage green which is the grayish green color on the new Army digital camo uniforms. The blade comes in flat grinds, or the saber grind like this one. In VG-10, or the new ZDP-189 (sp?) which is supposed to be the new super steel. Anyhoo, I like this one the best, the black plain edge. The length is nice and useable, without being too long. It comes in just under 3 inches so it should be legal in pretty much every state (check your local laws though). The blade is reasonably thick and very sturdy with no movement when it's locked. My only con for this knife is it is a bit wierd looking. The blade is almost... ugly. But it grows on you. It is, after all, a supremely functional knife, and will not let you down.

Vg10 steel is awesome. Stays sharp as can be. Fit my large hands perfectly. So light can't feel it in my pocket.
Another winner by Spyderco
The Delica by Spyderco fills in that niche between large, heavy folders and toothpick. I thought the Delica was somewhat bigger based on the walmart.com description, so I was a bit surprised when I opened the box. That aside, the 4" Delica is just another one of these quality folders that Spyderco continues to crank out. The VG-10 "super-steel" stainless has excellent hardness and edge retention with moderate corrosion resistance (that's right.....stainless steels WILL rust.) The fiberglass reinforced nylon chosen for the scales is nothing special.....until Spyderco adds their Volcano grip pattern, which combined with the spine jimping helps you keep a firm grip on the Delica while your hands are sweaty, muddy or perhaps bloody (I'd recommend the Delica for field-dressing game.) Perhaps the most noteworthy feature of the Spyderco Delica is the David Boyd dent on the back of the knife. This makes one-handed closing quick and safe (difficult with a number of the competitors' lockbacks,) and helps reduce the risk of accidentally closing the blade during use and possibly lopping something off (this knife is shaving sharp out-of-box, so watch it.) PS: You MUST keep the Delica CLEAN AND OILED. How? Wash thoroughly in warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, shake off the excess and dry with a can of compressed air. You will then apply a light coating of a high-quality gun oil, such as Otis, Breakfree CLP or Rem-Oil.
