Spyderco Delica 4 C11PBK

The legendary Delica series

The Spyderco Delica 4 C11PBK EDC folding knife belongs to the 4th generation of the legendary Delica series, which has been produced for several decades. Currently, the American company produces dozens of modifications of this knife with blades made of different steels with sharpening options and handles of various colours made of reinforced fibreglass. In terms of its characteristics and design, the knife weighing 71 g is close to the Spyderco Delica 4 C11FP model (you need to correct the link for changing the name of the model), which is distinguished by a flat blade without descents. The model is difficult to confuse with products from other manufacturers: the Spyderco knife is immediately recognizable by the characteristic shape of the blade with the patented Spyderhole, designed for one-handed opening of the knife.

Made in Japan

This is the basic model with a smooth blade sharpening (plain), but there are also modifications with a half serrated (C11PSBK) and full serrated (C11SBK). This model is made in Japan, so it is not surprising that local VG-10 stainless steel, which is rightfully considered one of the best in the world, was chosen for the blade. With a hardness of at least 60 HRC, the blade sharpens very easily, and it is simply impossible to see the slightest traces of corrosion on the blade. The choice of blade material influenced the price of the knife, which is more expensive than similar products. The blade has straight slopes, a small thickness of 2.5 mm and an average length of 73 mm, taking into account the ricasso. The ergonomically shaped handle is made of textured black fibreglass reinforced nylon (FRN) and has a back lock. There is a hole in the back for threading the strap, and a convenient and reliable clip is attached to the sidewall, which, thanks to the through holes, can be rearranged in 4 positions: for convenient carrying in a left-handed or right-handed pocket. When folded, the size of the knife is 108 mm, and when opened — 181. The manufacturer gives a lifetime warranty on the model.
