The Spyderco Delica 4 Lightweight Wharncliffe (brand part no. C11FPWCBK) swaps the standard drop point for a straight-edged Wharncliffe blade, giving this Delica 4 a different cutting geometry for detail work and controlled push cuts. Made by Spyderco, the 2.87-inch VG-10 blade is ground in a PlainEdge profile and backed by the model’s dependable back lock, all housed in a textured Black FRN handle. It is the same lightweight, easy-to-carry Delica 4 platform, just reshaped for users who prefer a straight cutting edge.
