This unique expression of the Delica 4 Lightweight combines all the features of this best-selling model with a multi-colored hand-dyed zome handle. Zome (pronounced “zoh-may”) is a class of Japanese handicrafts that focuses on dyeing textiles. Inspired by this rich artistic heritage Spyderco’s Zome knives are unique variations of our lightweight models which feature injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon handles. The handles are molded in a light base color and then individually hand dyed by expert Japanese artisans. Using a technique reminiscent of traditional hiki-zome (brush dyeing) various colors of dye are hand brushed onto the handle to create distinctive one-of-a-kind patterns. This Delica 4 Lightweight boasts all the defining features including a full-flat-ground VG-10 stainless steel blade a sturdy back lock mechanism skeletonized stainless steel liners and a four-position pocket clip. Its injection-molded FRN handle showcases a brilliant hand-dyed zome pattern in shades of green.
