Spyderco Delica 4 Black Combo Lockback Knife

The Spyderco Delica 4 Black Combo Lockback (C11PSBBK) has a 2.88-inch VG-10 blade with a black coating and a combination edge. The front of the edge is plain for push cuts and slicing, while the rear is serrated for rope and webbing. The black blade cuts down on glare and gives the knife a low-key look.

The FRN handle uses Spyderco's bi-directional texture, which grips in both directions so the knife does not slide forward or back in a wet hand. Skeletonized stainless liners inside the handle add strength without much weight. A four-position clip lets you carry it tip-up or tip-down on either side.

The Delica 4 is made in Seki, Japan, and opens to 7.15 inches. A back lock holds the blade, and the Round Hole allows easy one-hand opening. Sharpen the plain section on a stone and the serrated section on a ceramic rod. Other Delica models and lockbacks are in our lockback knives.
