Coming soon to a dealer near you!

This was shared over on the Spyderco Forum. I thought I'd post it here for those who haven't seen it yet.

I'm hoping there are some cool color combinations offered.

From the new knives section on Spyderco's website:

"This unique expression of the Delica 4 Lightweight combines all the features of this best-selling model with a multi-colored hand-dyed “zome” handle.

Zome (pronounced "zoh-may") is a class of Japanese handicrafts that focuses on dyeing textiles. This ancient art form includes many different methods of creating patterns on cloth using dyes derived from plants, flowers, fruit, and other natural sources and is closely related to many aspects of Japanese history and culture.

Inspired by this rich artistic heritage, Spyderco's Zome knives are unique variations of our lightweight models, which feature injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handles. The handles are molded in a light base color and then individually hand dyed by expert Japanese artisans. Using a technique reminiscent of traditional hiki-zome (brush dyeing), various colors of dye are hand brushed onto the handle to create distinctive, one-of-a-kind patterns. Like Japan's classical dyeing methods, the special dyes used completely permeate the FRN to permanently color it."

Interesting. I hadn't seen this. I also wonder if there will be different color options, and if these models will be in continuous production.
 
I think i remeber some talk about this a little while back. Very cool. I wonder to what extend of color combos they will go to. Red white and blue? Black and blue? Red and yellow? Purple and green? Orange and blue? Brown And green? Grey and black? Rainbow swirl? Chocolate swirl? Man this could get me spending way too much money.
 
Can't afford them all at once so this will have to go on the list and wait it's turn. I really like the patterned handle. This would make a great sprint run knife with upgraded steel.

I agree, I wish they made the Endura in more than just the steels they currently offer them in!
 
Some camo style Delicas and Enduras will be hard to resist. Especially in grey/black.
 
Oh Mannnnn.... Just when I thought I had seen enough of knives to be happy with my current purchases and could get away from the forum and back to 'normal' life and quit looking at product porn.

Looks good. Just don't drop it on the ground. You will never find it. :confused: I think light and dark blue/black, or orange and black would be better looking. :thumbup:

Eh, to me just looks like camo. I would be interested in maybe some other color combinations/patterns.
 
Im guessing we will see more color patterns. To make FRN with more than one color is not an easy task. The proper technique needs to be used and it looks like Spyderco figured it out. I dont think theyll stop at normal camouflage
