From the Manufactuer:
Inspired by a request from one of our hard-working end-line users, the Delica 4 Lightweight Wharncliffe is a uniquely functional variation of one of Spyderco's most popular and enduring designs. The defining feature of this knife is its "Wharncliffe" blade profile, which is characterized by a perfectly straight cutting edge and a spine that tapers to meet that edge at an acute point. Capable of cutting with both scalpel-like precision and power far beyond its size, Wharncliffes are the blades of choice for many savvy knife users who demand maximum performance out of their tools.
Available with a PlainEdge™ format, the Delica Wharncliffe features a full-flat-ground VG-10 stainless steel blade with a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole™ that supports one-hand opening with either hand. It is paired with the time-tested Delica Lightweight handle design, which includes a sturdy back lock mechanism, skeletonized stainless steel liners, and a four-position pocket clip that allows both left and right-side tip-up or tip-down carry.
One of the most potent pocket-sized cutting tools available, the Delica Lightweight Wharncliffe pushes the performance of this popular model to a new level.
The 2-7/8" blade has a hardness of 60-62 Rc. The closed length measures 4-1/4". Weighs 2.4 oz. Made in Japan. Suggested Retail $126.00.

Spyderco
In 1981, Spyderco ventured into the world of knife making by introducing their first folding knife, the C01 Worker. This knife was the first in the industry to feature a round hole in the blade design that allowed for fast, one-hand opening, now the company’s trademark, and the first to feature a pocket clip. The trademarked round hole is the most recognizable feature of a Spyderco knife and it facilitates the easy opening and closing of these knives with one hand while also offering convenient access and maximum control while opening as well as accommodating large, small or gloved hands.
Spyderco’s recognizable appearance is a result of designing ergonomically functional tools rather than applying lipstick and nylons to a pocketknife. Spyderco’s knives may look unusual, but they will never be called unusable or undependable. When you purchase a Spyderco knife, you are buying a high quality reliable cutting tool that was designed and manufactured for peak performance and ergonomic comfort.
