The Spyderco Delica Anodized Purple takes one of the most respected folding knives ever made and elevates it with premium materials and unmistakable style. Built in Japan with Spyderco’s legendary attention to detail, this Delica blends everyday practicality with a refined, modern look that stands out without sacrificing performance. It’s slim, lightweight, and purpose-built for users who want a knife that works as hard as it looks good doing it.
At the heart of this knife is a 2.9-inch VG-10 stainless steel blade shaped in a classic clip point profile with a clean satin finish. VG-10 is well known for its excellent balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening, making it a reliable choice for daily cutting tasks. The saber grind adds strength behind the edge while still offering smooth, controlled slicing. With an edge length of 2.56 inches and a blade thickness of just .098 inches, the Delica delivers precise cutting performance without feeling fragile or overbuilt.
Spyderco’s signature round thumb hole makes one-handed opening fast and intuitive, whether you’re right- or left-handed. The back lock mechanism is simple, proven, and extremely secure, giving you confidence during use and easy operation when it’s time to close the blade. Everything about the action feels deliberate and refined, exactly what fans of the Delica platform expect.
What truly sets this version apart is the purple anodized titanium handle. It offers a sleek, premium feel in hand while maintaining excellent strength and durability. The anodized finish adds visual depth and character, giving the knife a bold yet tasteful appearance that’s hard to ignore. Despite the upgraded handle material, the knife remains impressively light at just 2.6 ounces, making it comfortable to carry all day without weighing you down.
The Delica’s thoughtful design continues with its ambidextrous, four-position pocket clip, allowing you to customize tip-up or tip-down carry on either side. With a closed length of 4.25 inches and an overall length of 7.11 inches, it rides comfortably in the pocket and disappears until you need it. Every measurement feels intentional, contributing to the Delica’s long-standing reputation as a go-to folding knife for real-world use.
