The Spyderco Delica 4 Lightweight C11FPOR delivers reliable cutting performance in a compact everyday carry package. This folding knife combines premium VG-10 stainless steel with lightweight construction for professionals and enthusiasts who demand both durability and portability.
What Makes This Different
The VG-10 stainless steel blade maintains a sharp edge longer than standard 440C steel while offering superior corrosion resistance. Spyderco's signature round thumb hole enables one-handed opening faster than traditional thumb studs or nail nicks. The bi-directional textured FRN handle provides secure grip in wet conditions while keeping overall weight to just 2.5 ounces.
