The Spyderco Delica 4 Lightweight Zome Green (brand part no. C11ZFPGR) combines the standard Delica 4 Lightweight’s full-flat-ground VG-10 blade with a handle finished using zome, a traditional Japanese hand-dyeing technique. Made by Spyderco, each handle is molded in a light base color, then hand-brushed by Japanese artisans using a hiki-zome dyeing method, so no two knives look quite the same. Beneath the finish, it is the same dependable, back-lock Delica 4 that has been a go-to everyday carry for three decades.

Key Specifications

• The 2.9-inch blade is full-flat-ground for a slim, low-friction cutting profile.
• It is made from VG-10 stainless steel, valued for edge retention and easy resharpening.
• The PlainEdge grind gives a clean, continuous cutting line.
• A back lock mechanism secures the blade open and releases with an ambidextrous thumb press.
• The hand-dyed zome FRN handle uses a traditional Japanese brush-dyeing technique for a one-of-a-kind pattern in shades of green.
• Skeletonized stainless steel liners reinforce the handle without adding significant weight.
• A four-position pocket clip supports tip-up or tip-down carry on either side of the body.
• The knife is built at Spyderco’s Seki City, Japan factory, where the zome dyeing is also done by hand.
