In 1990, Spyderco made a significant impact in the knife industry with the introduction of two innovative models, the Delica® and Endura®. These folding knives were the first of their kind on the market, bringing lightweight performance and one-handed opening to a broader audience at an affordable price. Since their launch, they have consistently ranked as the top two bestsellers, with continuous improvements solidifying their popularity. Spyderco has always taken pride in pushing the boundaries of knife performance by incorporating exotic blade steels into its designs. In this tradition, they are pleased to present the Delica 4 Lightweight, featuring a blade made from K390. K390 MICROCLEAN®, produced by Böhler-Uddeholm, is a cutting-edge cold-work tool steel developed through particle metallurgy. Its advanced alloy composition has been specifically engineered to deliver exceptional wear resistance and high compressive strength, essential for industrial applications such as cutting, blanking, and punching. Remarkably tough, K390 also boasts a fine, homogeneous microstructure that ensures it is easy to machine and heat treat. These remarkable characteristics render K390 an outstanding choice for blade material, appealing to true steel connoisseurs.
