The Spyderco Delica 4 is one of their most enduring designs, and for good reason. With comfortable ergos, a capable blade, and multiple options for easy carry, the Delica has inspired many imitators over the years. Now with hand-dyed Zome-style (pronounced "zoh-may") Camo handle scales, this special edition here at KnifeCenter backs up performance with one-of-a-kind style and is sure to become a collectible.
Inspired by traditional Japanese hiki-zome (brush dyeing) techniques, the FRN handles are molded in a light base color and then individually hand dyed by expert Japanese artisans. No two of these knives are alike. Various colors of dye are hand brushed onto the handle to create distinctive patterns. These dyes completely permeate and permanently color the FRN.
These special handles are backed up by the classic Spyderco Delica platform. Slim and easily pocketable, bi-directional texturing on the FRN scales ensures a solid grip even in the worst of conditions. The Spyderco Delica also allows for nearly any carry preference: a four-position stainless pocket clip allows for carry on the left or right side, in tip-up or tip-down configurations.
The blade itself is made from VG-10, ensuring a long-lasting edge, and sports a full flat grind for excellent slicing capability. Straddling the line between a drop point and a modified-Wharncliffe shape, this blade lends itself well to all manner of everyday needs. Jimping along the integrated thumb ramp helps with fine control and allows you to really take advantage of the fine tip. A strong lock back keeps the blade open and is equipped with a Boye-dent to avoid accidental closure.
If you're looking for a reliable workhorse knife with one-of-a-kind character, this Zome Camo Delica is it.

I get it, the Delica 4 is a classic. It's an amazing value and gives great performance. When first opening it up I didn't like the scales and sharpness of the spider hole. The good news though, is that for $2 in sandpaper this can all be improved. Sanded down and rounded the scales. The spider hole is also much softer. This upgrade takes about 5 minutes and took the knife from 7 to 10. Also, the sanding brought out some florescent green highlights. Finally, oil the lock.Build quality was there from the start, just needed small tweaks.
I don't get too excited about Spydercos. I thought I would like this Delica, though, and the Zome camo is cool looking. But I went to break down this very heavy, large cardboard box. I whipped out my new Delica and...wow! It sliced through like nothing else that I have used. That little knife just breezed through heavy cardboard so effortlessly, I laughed and smiled. So small, light, yet capable. I think anyone would find this to be a great everyday pocket knife. Worth $90? I'm reluctant to spend money on anything, but I don't regret buying it. So there you go. I'm sure you could spend much more for less.
