Spyderco’s new Delica 4 Wharncliffe combines all the advantages of this unique blade style with the proven features of the Delica’s standard lightweight platform. Available in either a PlainEdge™ or fully serrated SpyderEdge™ format, it features a broad VG-10 stainless steel blade with a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole™ that is positioned high on the blade for excellent leverage during one-handed openings. Its full-flat grind gives it incredible edge geometry that, when paired with the Wharncliffe profile, allows it to cut with impressive power all the way to the point."''<ref name="article byte January 2017"[Spyderco byte - January 2017] Spyderco byte - January 2017"</ref></div></td></tr> <tr><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br></td><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br></td></tr> <tr><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br></td><td class="diff-marker"></td><td style="background-color: #f8f9fa; color: #202122; font-size: 88%; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px 1px 1px 4px; border-radius: 0.33em; border-color: #eaecf0; vertical-align: top; white-space: pre-wrap;"><br></td></tr> </table>
