Spyderco's Delica has been a cornerstone of their everyday carry product line since its introduction in 1990. The 4th Generation of the Delica lightweight was upgraded with a 13 mm RoundHole, spine jimping, reinforced blade tip, skeletonized liners, Bi-Directional Textured FRN scales and a four-position screw on clip.
This "Thin Blue Line" edition honors the service of law enforcement officers with blue liners and back spacer symbolizing the encouragement of a peaceful and ordered society along with the laser engraved motto "To Serve and Protect" on the blade. It comes with a flat ground, satin VG-10, partially serrated blade and black FRN scales.
Brand new, direct from Spyderco Knives, Japan.
Blade: Functional and time tested, the +2.5-inch modified drop point blade comes in a high performance full flat grind with versatile partially serrated cutting edge for handling a variety of cutting tasks with ease. SpyderEdge serrations increase the cutting edge surface by up to 24% and make short work of tough, fibrous materials. A rugged bronze washer pivot provides smooth operation via the ambidextrous RoundHole which delivers easy one hand operation. A jimped thumb ramp offers added traction for control in heavy and fine work.
Handle: Black Bi-directional textured FRN provides exceptional traction in all conditions with contoured edges and an ergonomic design that delivers comfort in the hand until the job is done. Bright blue liners and spacer offer a subtle contrast while the sturdy mid-back lock delivers secure operation further enhanced by the Boye Dent on the lock bar which prevents accidental disengagement of the lock when gripping with heavy pressure. A hole at the pommel end allows for easy lanyard attachment.
Carries via a 4-position, stainless steel hourglass pocket clip.
Japanese VG10: VG-10 is a high-carbon stainless steel that takes a very good edge and holds it well. Popular with Japanese kitchen knife makers it is often hardened to 60-61 HRC. A popular choice for small pocket knives thanks to good edge holding and stain resistance, VG10 works well with a high polished, acute edge for optimal slicing performance.
Spyderco donates a portion of all sales to the Tunnel to Towers Foundation, honoring the sacrifice of firefighter Stephen Siller on September 11, 2001. Tunnel to Towers operates multiple charitable programs supporting first responders and military personnel who have sacrificed life and limb for our country.
