If knives could be created in the same way
we choose players for fantasy football league teams, every hardcore
knife knut would recruit features and characteristics they like best
from different knife companies and combine them into their favorite
knife. Spyderco will undoubtedly fulfill many knife knuts knife
fantasy picks with the introduction of the Delica and Endura with
Emerson's patented waved opening feature. These models combine all
that’s functional and performance-based in a Spyderco folder with the
blade-opening feature made popular and patented by Ernest Emerson of
Emerson Knives.
The Emerson waved opening feature is a hook
curving out the top of the knife’s blade. When removing the knife from
a front pocket it catches the pocket’s edge quickly opening the knife
blade ready to use. The knife can also be taken out of the pocket
without engaging the opening feature by pulling it straight up and out
with your fingers on top of the closed blade.
Delicas and
Enduras with Emerson's patented waved opening feature have screw
construction making cleaning and adjusting easier. Their gray
fiberglass reinforced nylon handles are molded with Bi-Directional
Texturing® for traction and improved ergonomics. Inside the handle dual
skeletonized stainless steel liners strengthen the knife without
additional weight and create an anchor for external and internal
components to attach through for more sturdiness and rigidity. Their
VG-10 blades are flat saber-ground with a stronger tip and larger 13mm
opening hole. Added to the blade’s spine is slip resistant jimping.
Phosphor bronze washers smooth out the open/close action and the clip
is upgraded to a four-way tip-up, tip-down, left- or right-handed clip.
