If you have “a need for speed,” this elite version of the popular Delica® 4 Lightweight is the perfect solution. Its saber-ground VG-10 stainless steel blade is enhanced with an Emerson Opener, or “wave” feature. Created by renowned custom knifemaker Ernest Emerson, this integral hook on the spine of the blade catches the lip of the pocket as the knife is drawn from tip-up carry. When it does, it automatically rotates the blade quickly and positively into the open position. Hands down the fastest method of deploying a folding knife, the Emerson Opener is the perfect complement to the other proven features of the Delica 4 Lightweight, including a stout back lock mechanism, skeletonized stainless steel liners, an injection-molded, fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handle, a sure-grip Bi-Directional Texture™ pattern, and a versatile four-position pocket clip. The handle of this knife is also molded in a bluish gray color—a signature of several of our Emerson Opener-equipped models.
