Spyderco - Delica® 4 FRN Flat Ground Gray Knife - C11FPGY

Delica 4 Lightweight Full-Flat Ground Gray Plain is a lightweight fourth-generation Delica folder with a full flat cut. This cut has reduced the weight of the knife and improved cutting properties. Folder available with cladding in black, blue, brown, gray, orange, purple and green. Reinforced fully dismountable construction combined with torx screws (facilitates cleaning, adjustment of the folder) and also clip mounted in four position (4-way clip positions). Thanks to improved ergonomics and design, the knife gained rigidity, functionality and aesthetics.

In 1990, Spyderco Company introduced two models of knives on the market: Endura and Delica, creating the demand for light folders that open with one hand at the great price. These products have become bestsellers. Due to their small dimensions and low weight, they are an excellent offer as EDC daily use knives.  

Blade - 2,5 mm thickness, made of Japanese VG-10 stainless steel (easy to sharpen, with good sharpness) hardened in the range of 59-61 HRC. The Satin Finish (semi-matte) coating eliminates glares. Smooth blade (Plain type) were made with a Full Flat Grind reducing the weight of the knife and improving the cutting properties. On the back of the blade was placed the ribbed ramp under the thumb. SpyderHole (Spyderco patent) allows you to open the knife with one hand. The blade lock (Back-Lock) with additional protection against accidental release of the lock during a strong grip (cut in the blockade) of David Boye's project.

Handle- in gray color, covered with non-slip textured (Bi-Directional Texturing) - strengthens the grip even with wet hands. Made of plastic FRN (Fiberglass Reinforced Nylon), fiberglass reinforced nylon.  The folder is equipped with a solid metal screw-on clip with the possibility of fixing in four planes (up / down, right / left). 4-way clip positions. Notches on the handle Spine Jimping handle increases comfort and grip.

Frame- a knife reinforced with two steel plates with holes cut into which cladding was attached. This ensures high durability with a low knife weight. The whole was screwed by torx screws. The phosphor bronze pads make it easier to open and close the penknife.
