Spyderco Delica 4 C11SBK 2.88" VG-10 Serrated Folding Knife

The Spyderco Delica 4 C11SBK delivers reliable cutting performance with its premium VG-10 stainless steel blade and proven lock-back mechanism. This compact folding knife combines Japanese steel technology with American engineering to create a tool that maintains its edge through demanding daily use.

What Makes This Different

The VG-10 stainless steel blade composition sets this knife apart from standard pocket knives using inferior steel alloys. This premium Japanese steel maintains hardness ratings of 59-61 HRC while resisting corrosion in harsh environments. The SpyderEdge serrated configuration cuts through fibrous materials 40% more efficiently than plain edge alternatives, making it ideal for rope, webbing, and synthetic materials.

Key Features

• 2.88-inch VG-10 stainless steel blade with SpyderEdge serrated configuration
• Textured black FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon) handle for secure grip
• David Boye Dent lock-back mechanism prevents accidental closure
• Ambidextrous thumb hole for one-handed opening
• Four-position pocket clip accommodates multiple carry preferences
• Lightweight 2.5-ounce construction reduces pocket weight
• Full flat grind blade geometry maximizes cutting efficiency

Field testing demonstrates consistent performance across temperature ranges from -20°F to 140°F without lock mechanism failure. The serrated edge configuration maintains cutting ability through extended use on synthetic materials, cardboard, and rope without requiring frequent sharpening. Law enforcement and military personnel rely on this platform for utility cutting tasks where blade retention and corrosion resistance are critical.
