The Spyderco Delica 4 is one of their most
enduring designs, and for good reason. With comfortable ergos, a capable
blade, and multiple options for easy carry, the Delica has inspired
many imitators over the years. Now with hand-dyed Zome-style (pronounced
"zoh-may") Camo handle scales
Inspired by traditional Japanese hiki-zome (brush
dyeing) techniques, the FRN handles are molded in a light base color and
then individually hand dyed by expert Japanese artisans. No two of
these knives are alike. Various colors of dye are hand brushed onto the
handle to create distinctive patterns. These dyes completely permeate
and permanently color the FRN.
These special handles are backed up
by the classic Delica platform. Slim and easily pocketable,
bi-directional texturing on the FRN scales ensures a solid grip even in
the worst of conditions. The Delica also allows for nearly any carry
preference: a four-position stainless pocket clip allows for carry on
the left or right side, in tip-up or tip-down configurations.
The
blade itself is made from VG-10, ensuring a long-lasting edge, and
sports a full flat grind for excellent slicing capability. Straddling
the line between a drop point and a modified-Wharncliffe shape, this
blade lends itself well to all manner of everyday needs. Jimping along
the integrated thumb ramp helps with fine control and allows you to
really take advantage of the fine tip. A strong lock back keeps the
blade open and is equipped with a Boye-dent to avoid accidental closure.
If you're looking for a reliable workhorse knife with one-of-a-kind character, this Zome Camo Delica is it.
