Spyderco Delica 4 Wharncliffe Folding Knife C11FPWCBK

Tracing its roots all the way back to 1990, the Delica is one of Spyderco’s most enduring and iconic designs. It helped pioneer the concept of the lightweight, injection-molded knife handle and even today, in its fourth-generation form, continues to set the standard in compact, high-performance, cutting tools.
 
The Delica’s tremendous popularity has spawned an entire family of variations, as well as Sprint Runs, Exclusives, and other “elite” expressions of the design. Spyderco is now proud to announce the latest addition to this proud family—the Delica 4 Lightweight Wharncliffe.
A Wharncliffe blade is characterized by a perfectly straight cutting edge and a spine that tapers to meet that edge at an acute point. Capable of cutting with both scalpel-like precision and power far beyond its size, Wharncliffes are the blades of choice for many savvy knife users who demand maximum performance out of their tools. Spyderco’s new Delica 4 Wharncliffe combines all the advantages of this unique blade style with the proven features of the Delica’s standard lightweight platform. Available in either a PlainEdge™ or fully serrated SpyderEdge™ format, it features a broad VG-10 stainless steel blade with a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole™ that is positioned high on the blade for excellent leverage during one-handed openings. Its full-flat grind gives it incredible edge geometry that, when paired with the Wharncliffe profile, allows it to cut with impressive power all the way to the point.
 
The blade is paired with the time-tested Delica 4 Lightweight handle design, which includes skeletonized stainless steel liners, injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) scales and backspacer, a sturdy back lock mechanism, and a four-position pocket clip that supports all carry preferences.
