The Spyderco Delica 4 Titanium Damascus Folding Knife is built with a remarkable Damascus-clad blade. Commonly known as D.P.S. 15. This blade material is produced by Takefu Special Steel Company, Ltd. in Japan and is made using a VG-10 stainless steel core placed inbetween two outer layers of Damascus steel.
Each layer is composed of 15 layers of forge-welded steel, patterned and etched to reveal the detail of the structure. The finished blade, which is meticulously flat ground for superior edge geometry, features a total of 31 layers of steel and offers an exceptional blend of strength, cutting performance, and beauty.
The handle is precision machined from solid 6AL-4V titanium. This state-of-the-art material is prized for its light weight, extreme toughness, and superior strength. The titanium scales are precision machined and bead blasted to a handsome grey finish. They are supported by a stainless steel back spacer and mated to the blade by a high-strength back lock mechanism. All components are assembled with precision stainless steel Torx hardware and meticulously hand finished. Extra touches of class include a stainless steel liner tube in the lanyard hole and a polished stainless steel clip configurable for left or right-side tip-up or tip-down carry.
