The C11 Delica was first introduced in 1990, together with its bigger brother the C10 Endura. They have gone through most major and minor revisions together.
Generations
Generation 1
Generation 2
Generation 3
Generation 4
The fourth generation, the Delica 4 (D4) came out in 2006. It has some major modifications from the D3:
- The D4 has a screw together construction for easier cleaning and adjustments.
- The scales are made using Bi-Directional Texturing (trademarked) to provide better traction and improve ergonomics.
- This is the first Delica to have skeletonized stainless steel liners (with holes cut in to save weight) to give it added strength without adding weight to the knife.
- The blade has a less pointy and stronger tip, an enlarged 13mm opening hole, and jimping added to the spine of the blade.
- The clip is connected to the liners with 3 small screws with four different possible mounting positions (tip-up/tip-down for left and right-handed carry).
