- Plain edge
- Full-flat-ground blade
- Three-layer laminate blade, a V-Toku2 tool steel core
- The V-Toku2 core of this blade is flanked by outer layers of SUS410 stainless steel
- Its exposed surfaces are susceptible to corrosion and must be maintained properly
This remarkable Sprint Run edition of the popular Spyderco Delica 4 Lightweight Blue Flat Ground Knife (C11FPBL) showcases a three-layer laminate blade with a V-Toku2 tool steel core. Renowned for its toughness at high hardness, V-Toku2 is a Japanese steel made with Swedish iron ore enriched with tungsten, vanadium, and chromium. To bolster its strength and provide greater corrosion resistance, the V-Toku2 core of this blade is flanked by outer layers of SUS410 stainless steel.
This laminated construction is evident when the full-flat-ground blade is examined closely, as the transition between the core and outer layers is clearly visible just above the blade's cutting edge. Nevertheless, because V-Toku2 is a true tool steel, its exposed surfaces are susceptible to corrosion and must be maintained properly.
