Spyderco Delica 4 Lightweight 7.15" Signature Folding Knife with 2.90" Flat-Ground Steel Blade and High-Strength FRN Handle - PlainEdge Grind

I have a few pocket knives and this one is by far my favorite! After carrying it every day for a few weeks I can see why so many people rave about spyderco. It's the perfect size for an EDC blade. It has the same cutting edge length as a victorinox knife, but is far superior in strength, ergonomics, and ease of use. The blade shape is great - excellent for piercing, straight line cuts, paring, slicing, etc. and the solid lockup feels safe and reliable. The jimped thumb ramp behind the spyder hole is a wonderful addition for grip stability, and also as a place to rest the side of your finger when doing paring or peeling cuts. The knife came really sharp and seems to have a high degree of durability. The overall shape of the closed knife may look a little unusual to some. The plus side of the asymmetrical design is that my hand learned exactly how it is holding the knife just by feel, and I can pull it out of my pocket and have it open and ready to use without even looking at it. The large thumb hole is a bit of genius that you don't really get a sense of how great it is until you've tried it for a few days. With a little practice, one handed closing also becomes second nature. The handle ergonomics are great - the longer handle fills my hand well, and the knife is well balanced and grippy. I love the purple color! The knife fits well both clipped in or simply carried down in my pocket. I'm a lefty so I really like the repositionable clip, and that the screws go into the metal liner, not just the plastic. The clip has a dip in it that is perfectly curved for resting your finger in when removing the knife from your pocket. The lockback design is also equally good for left or right handed use - so I appreciate that. A couple of very minor dislikes - in clipped, tip-up carry there's a bit more handle sticking out of the pocket than I would prefer. I often find myself dropping the knife down in my pocket so it's not visible. Also, the thumb hole had a very sharp feeling when I first got the knife. I dulled that (and the sharp top edges of the blade) in a couple minutes with some 400 grit sandpaper. If you're reading this and want to try, be careful that you don't sand the hole too much - I took off enough of that sharp edge that my thumb started to slip off the hole when opening the knife. Luckily I was able to square it back off by wrapping the sandpaper around a pen and sanding at a 90º angle inside the hole. All in all a great knife with really well thought out details. Highly recommended.

I had one of the old pointy delicas but can't find it so I ordered one of these in purple. I was a little hesitant after reading some of the reviews. I am happy to report my concerns were unwarranted. It says "VG10" not V8. I can open and close it with one hand. It locks up tight. The blade is centered and oh so sharp! I am particularly puzzled by the reviewers that were unable to open theirs with one hand. Even though mine was a tad stiff at first (which it should be in my opinion) I was still able to open it one handed. I wouldn't call the hole "sharp", I would call it crisp. Just the way I like it! I have knives I don't really use hard, like my Kershaw leeks. They are too slick for real work. Too pretty as well. I use those clipped to my pocket when I walk, in case heaven forbid I have to stab something. I use my tenacious when I am gardening and doing chores. I also have a couple byrds as well. I like my users to be light in the pocket and not too pretty or expensive. This one was going in my user rotation. it's going to be hard to use this pretty knife but the practical handle and good steel begs to be used so use it I will. It's. . . Beautiful . . . : )

To put it simply, I've tried them all and the Delica is hands down the BEST EDC knife around. Fits easily in the pocket, holds securely, yet is easy to clip to pocket and retieve when you need it, one handed opening, lightweight but still solid, and hair shaving sharp right out of the box. Spyderco delicas are not overly thick and gimmicky like cold steels, at least equal to benchmade for fit, finish and quality and in many cases they are sharper than benchmades, etc. I could go on comparing them to other knives, but to put it simply, Spyderco just gets it right in more areas than anyone else does. I collect pocket knives and own over a hundred from lots of different companies, but Spydies live in my pocket more than any other. On my off days I carry a variety of knives, but for work days, I don't mess around, I just carry my Delica. You cannot go wrong with this knife and you will not regret buying it. And as a bonus, they are cheaper than comparable benchmades.

I cannot add much to the other reviews you will read here. If you are familiar with Spyderco knives, there is not much anyone can say or add to aide you in choosing which knife you want other than advising blade length, which in the end must be your choice. I own three Spyderco knives: The Ladybug, Endura, and the Delica 4, and I love them all. The Delica 4 is my favorite of the three. It suits my hand. I love the feel of this knife. In my lifetime I must have owned at least fifty or so "pocket knives", but this is my favorite. As with any Spyderco knife, the blade is wickedly sharp and up to most any cutting task you desire. The Spyderhole is a unique and innovative opening mechanism that, for some reason, just seems the most satisfying way to open a knife. I guess you just have to try one of these knives to understand. As you no doubt have read, this knife comes with a clip for a pocket, and no doubt you have read many testimonials about the excellence of this super sharp fine utilitarian tool, and really, when it comes right down to it, isn't a superb cutting edge the main reason to buy a knife? The Delica 4, made is Seiki, Japan, is, simply, one of the finest specimens of knife maker art.

Wife loves it. Perfect size for her EDC. Super sharp! I cut my finger pretty good while "showing" her how to open and close it.

ブレードタイプ・刃長も使いやすくて丈夫で切れ味も落ちません。このタイプの使用頻度が高いのでかなり良いです、流石ですね。

2022.3.15 前から関心のあるナイフではあったが、EDCユースのフォールディングナイフに1万円以上の値段に割高感があり、買う気にはならなかった。 今回紫ハンドルだけが8,500円程度に落ちていたのでついに買ってみた。 大体、1万円以上のナイフといえば、多くはある程度ハードな使い方にも耐える中級鋼材を使ったフルタングナイフの価格帯であって、キャンプなどのハードユースにも耐えるフォールディングナイフとなると1万円では強度に不安を覚えるモノが多く、かと言って雑に使う事が予想されるEDCナイフとしては割高感が拭えずと言うわけで、どうにも購入意欲がわかなかった。 今回、使ってみてその良さを認識したが「スパイダルコは割高」今でもこの印象は変わらない。 現品を弄くり倒してみて印象深かったのは金属、樹脂パーツともどもに共通する精度の高さ。新品は作動が渋く、ワンハンドオープンに苦労したが、はめあいが馴染むと軽い力で開くことが出来るようになった。 そして次に感じたのが「携帯したいと思わせる絶妙な性能と重量のバランス」。 通常、EDCナイフとしてヴィクトリノックスの小型ナイフを携帯しているが、一回り大きいこのスパイダルコは、その軽量とVG10という高級鋼材からくる所有満足感、そしてワンハンドオープン出来る機構の面白さから、なんだかんだで現在最も携帯しているナイフとなった。 細部を見てみると、これもなかなか煮詰められている。ブレードは先端に行くにつれて切っ先が細く薄くなっているスライサーブレード。華奢でバトニングなどにはもちろん向かないが、このグラインド、刃渡り、形状と、EDCの使用目的に完璧に叶った構造となっていて、このナイフで野菜など刻むと抜群に使いやすい。この軽作業に特化させた設定にブレが見当たらないのは素晴らしいと思う。 安価、または煮詰めの足りないナイフだと、EDCナイフと位置づけておきながら肉厚刃にスカンジグラインドなどを組み込んで調理などの使い勝手を自ら阻害しているような製品も多い。 スパイダルコはそのナイフの成り立ちに沿った重量、鋼材、ブレード形状、グリップ、地味だがナイフに合った使い勝手のために隅々まで製作者の理念が行き渡って一つの製品として完成しているのが大きな特徴だと言えるだろう。 ナイフの特性も何も考えず、このナイフでバトニンなどやらかす物知らずでもない限り、EDCナイフとしての性能に不満をこぼす者はいないだろう。 唯一、価格面の不満以外は。 製品としてのレベルを考えればこれとて支払う価値はありそうだが、EDCナイフというものはバトニングはしないまでも常に劣化の環境に晒されている。 常に布が擦れ合うポケットの中、刃に付着したまま仕舞われるガムテープの粘着や、人間の体に近い場所に置かれる以上、湿度の影響も小さくはない、刃に優しいとは言えない使用環境。 ザックに大切に（厳重に）保管されるフィクスドナイフと異なり、カバン、ポケット、掌の中、置き場所が目まぐるしく変わるため紛失の可能性も高い。 このように不安要素の多いナイフが1本1万円以上。断じて使い捨て小物とは言えない製品である。道具というものに対して理性的に考えられる人間なら「ちょっと待て」と考えるだろう。 製品として良い物なのはわかっている。価値がわかるから「安く売ってくれ」とは言い難いが、EDC製品としてはやはり割高な製品であることは否定出来ない。

Es la navaja que más reviews tiene en YouTube y por eso estuve cazando una buena oferta en Amazon, hasta que la conseguí en color morado, en lo personal no fue mi color favorito pero tampoco tenía un problema en adquirirla. Cuando me llegó mis primeras impresiones no fueron de lo mejor pero era la cuestión que el color físicamente no me convencía y eso hacía que no esté del todo contento. Sin embargo ya había visto vídeos de teñir los mangos con colorante de ropa y no dude en hacerlo el mismo día. Los resultados difícilmente queden exactos a como uno los piensa y más por ser primera vez pero tengo que admitir que el color me quedo mejor que lo esperado. Quede enamorado de mi navaja. En si la navaja si es la mejor en su categoría, el metal y filo son excelentes, la comodidad en la mano igual y la cuestión del color en mi caso si hizo la diferencia entre ser una buena navaja a ser mi favorita y nueva obsesión!!!

Les puedo asegurar que es un producto original!, al menos este modelo en específico!, la hoja tiene un filo increíble!, 5 estrellas de 5, completamente recomendable. Tengan cuidado con otras que pueden ser fakes, pero al menos este modelo en morado si es original. Amazon es impresionante para las entregas, todo en orden y muy rápido.
