Spyderco Delica 4 Wharncliffe Sprint Burnt Orange FRN HAP40/SUS 410 Laminate

The beloved Delica 4 Wharncliffe Lightweight is getting a makeover Sprint Run style with a clever burnt orange FRN handle and HAP40/SUS 410 Laminate blade steel. This limited production run from Spyderco Knives is fully ambidextrous, ergonomic and just right for a small every day carry. 

The Blade: Fully flat ground wharny-styled blade utilizes a HAP40/SUS 410 stainless laminate. Created using the powdered metallurgy process, HAP40 possesses outstanding toughness and high abrasion resistance. The core is bound by layers of SUS 410 martensitic stainless steel. The transition between the core and outer layers is visible just above the blade’s cutting edge. 

The Handle: Burnt orange FRN handle scales adds some pop to the Delica family. The grip has suited customers across the globe for many years for a reason. Its contours and Bi-Directional texturing rest comfortably in your hand every time. It utilizes a strong, dependable back lock mechanism that allows the user to unlock the knife and close without worry of their fingers getting in the way of the cutting edge. A timeless design. Included is a four-position pocket clip for completely ambidextrous travel.

HAP40 Tool Steel: HAP40 contains generous amounts of tungsten, molybdenum, vanadium and cobalt. This combination creates exceptional toughness and high abrasion resistance. Both of which are key qualities of a superior blade steel. However, its relatively low chromium content (4.0%) makes it susceptible to corrosion. Regular maintenance and oil is required.
