Striving for Perfection
The Delica pioneered lightweight, one-handed opening and offered exceptional performance at an affordable price. It quickly became one of Spydercos bestsellers, and its evolution has continued without pause. Spyderco has always been committed to pushing the boundaries of performance by incorporating exotic blade steels into their knives. In that spirit, the Delica 4 Lightweight is now available with a serrated blade crafted from K390.
"It's difficult to imagine a more aggressive and capable cutter in such a small package." - Mr. Narwhal 
K390 Beast Mode
Manufactured by Böhler-Uddeholm, K390 MICROCLEAN® is a premium cold work tool steel produced using the particle metallurgy process. Its advanced alloy composition was specifically developed to provide outstanding wear resistance and high compressive strength, making it ideal for industrial cutting, blanking, and punching operations. Despite its remarkable toughness, K390's fine, homogeneous microstructure also allows for excellent machinability and ease of heat treatment.
These exceptional qualities make K390 an excellent choice for blade material, appealing to true steel enthusiasts and connoisseurs.
