The Spyderco Delica 4 with a stainless steel handle (brand part no. C11P) is the heavier-duty take on the Delica pattern, trading the standard FRN scales for solid stainless construction. Made by Spyderco, this version dates back to the all-steel Delica that first appeared in 1996 and carries a 2.95-inch drop point VG-10 blade in a PlainEdge profile. It feels noticeably more substantial in hand than the FRN models without tipping into heavyweight territory, giving it a bit more heft for users who prefer that solid, all-metal feel.

Key Specifications

• The 2.95-inch drop point blade balances a strong spine with a controllable tip for detail work.

• A back lock mechanism secures the blade open and releases with an ambidextrous thumb press.

• A Trademark Round Hole in the blade gives fast, reliable one-handed opening with either hand.
