Product Description
If knives could be created in the same way we choose players for fantasy football league teams, every hardcore knife knut would recruit features and characteristics they like best from different knife companies and combine them into their favorite knife. Spyderco will undoubtedly fulfill many knife knuts knife fantasy picks with the introduction of the Delica and Endura with Emerson's opening feature. These models combine all that?s functional and performance-based in a Spyderco folder with the blade-opening feature made popular and patented by Ernest Emerson of Emerson Knives. The Emerson opening feature is a hook curving out the top of the knife?s blade. When removing the knife from a front pocket it catches the pocket?s edge quickly opening the knife blade ready to use. The knife can also be taken out of the pocket without engaging the opening feature by pulling it straight up and out with your fingers on top of the closed blade. Delicas and Enduras with Emerson's opening feature have screw construction making cleaning and adjusting easier. Their gray fiberglass reinforced nylon handles are molded with Bi-Directional Texturing® for traction and improved ergonomics. Inside the handle dual skeletonized stainless steel liners strengthen the knife without additional weight and create an anchor for external and internal components to attach through for more sturdiness and rigidity. Their VG-10 blades are flat saber-ground with a stronger tip and larger 13mm opening hole. Added to the blade?s spine is slip resistant jimping. Phosphor bronze washers smooth out the open/close action and the clip is upgraded to a four-way tip-up, tip-down, left- or right-handed clip.

This is one great quality pocket knife!!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Delica 4 w/ Emerson Opener (Kitchen)
The first thing that you will notice about this knife (besides the unusual looking "wave" feature) is that it just feels well constructed. It is a great balance of thin and lightweight without feeling "cheap" in any way. When using the knife, I notice that the handle is noticably bigger than the blade which allows for a really good and safe grip. The high quality VG-10 steel comes very sharp, and holds it's edge for as long if not longer than any other knife I've ever owned.
I went back and forth for days deciding whether or not to get the "waved" version of this knife. I finally decided to go with the waved version simply because i've never owned a waved knife, and I wanted to try it out. I'm happy with my decision, even though (after owning the knife for a couple months) I do find the wave to be a little unnecessary. While the wave feature works EXTREMELY well, I just rarely "need" to have my knife automatically open (it is more of a self defense or tactical option). I did find out that the wave hook on this knife makes a perfectly decent bottle opener if you are in a pinch (it's not as good as an actual bottle opener, but it gets the job done.) One thing that I must mention is that THIS KNIFE IN IN NO WAY GRAY IN COLOR!!! I know it says gray, but it is in fact a dark navy blue color. I like the color a lot, just dont expect gray or you will be disappointed. I like this Waved Spyderco Delica 4 so much, that I plan on getting a new regular one soon when they are released with new handle colors and a full flat grind on the blade. You can't go wrong with Spyderco.

Well made, love the wave feature,

This review is from: Delica 4 w/ Emerson Opener (Kitchen)
I bought the Delica Wave to replace my Kershaw Scallion, which was great, but I wanted to switch to tip up carry and the Scallion doesn't have a reversible clip. The Wave took a little getting used to but now I can get it to open reliably every time. The knife feels sturdy, the blade cuts well, and the clip is perfectly positioned for tip-up carry(riding high enough that it's easy to draw but low enough that it's reasonably well concealed and I'm not worried about it falling out). What's not to like?

Delica Wave,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Delica 4 w/ Emerson Opener (Kitchen)
This is a good knife but would recommend careful consideration for your tasks before purchasing a Delica with the wave feature as opposed to one without. The handle is good and the FRN provides good grip when wet (color is blue gray by the way.) Knife is extremely sharp as can be expected with all Spydercos and sharpens well. My issue is with the Wave feature. It is much larger (about 2x) than that used on similar Emerson knifes. One would think this would make deployment easier however I have noticed difficulty when trying to get the knife out of jeans or reinforced pants. The wave tends to catch deeper in the pocket than where it should and this could lead to a cut pocket if not carefull. I have found that it does work great though for looser pants (Underarmour workout pants) and I will be keeping it there while I carry my Emerson or Stainless Delica 4 in my jeans.
