Description:
This Spyderco Endura knife has a flat saber-ground VG-10 stainless steel blade that is satin finished with a plain cutting edge. The handle is black FRN.
The Endura knife features a molded FRN (fiberglass reinforced nylon) handle with Bi-Directional texturing for traction and improved ergonomics. The handle is strengthened with dual skeletonized stainless steel liners that make an anchor for all external and internal components to attach while adding sturdiness and rigidity. Phosphor bronze bushings on the blade pivot smooth out the open/close action. The pocket clip is four-way reversible for tip-up/down, left- or right-handed carry. The blade is premium VG-10 stainless steel from Seki-City Japan and has Spyderco's easy to use thumb hole for simple, efficient one-hand opening.
The Endura is a larger version of the Spyderco Delica knife. Both knives have been extremely popular over the years thanks to their lightweight, high performance build and affordable price.
This is my favorite pocket knife that I have ever owned, and I have owned dozens... It's insanely light ... It's fit and finish is excellent and its strong. I prefer this sabre ground model over the full flat grind model just because it's got a more robust tip, and its preference. The FFG model is just fine as well. I just prefer the thicker tip and stronger edge of the Sabre model. Killer knife ... Ages like wine. Get one.
I've been carrying an Endura 4 for about 10 years, and love it. It was my first knife that cost more than $20, and opened my eyes to higher end knives. Put simply, it's now a classic design that works great, and will take a beating.
This has to be my favorite spyderco knife. I got well over 30 different models but this one was my first love. I really love everything about it. Its simplicity, functionality, ergonomics, blade size, blade grind, grip. Its a workhorse of a knife and great quality. I prefer larger blades and this one is just perfect for me. I will always love my Enduras and their lockbacks.
This knife is came razor sharp and feels solid. I prefer the saber ground version over the FFG for the durability. I’m sure the FFG is plenty strong and a better slicer, but it’s just my preference. I’m even more impressed with BladeHQ. In my order notes I requested the pocket clip moved to the tip up left hand position and the knife came set up to my preference. I’m impressed!
I have Medium to Large sized hands, and this thing is great in hand, very comfortable to use and hold. Takes an edge well, good flat spots to help with sharpening. This knife's action leaves a little to be desired though, it isn't like a Paramilitary 2 or anything like that with snappy opening, this is more reminiscent of a traditional folder or something of the sort, a well built reliable blade.
I had this as my EDC knife for 3 years and it was great. It is a lock back knife so do not expect it to be snappy like some other Spyderco knives. Near the time that I retired it, the blade became stiffer upon opening and closing. The blade and its steel was great; I had accidentally hit stones in my yard a couple of times when cutting and the edge held up fine. The blade thickness is, well thick. The tip has more material behind it and is more robust than other Spyderco knives. The FRN handles were never slippery to me and I always had a solid grip on it. The weight was light enough for me to forget it was in my pocket; one time it fell out of my pocket and I did not notice that it did. I should clarify that my Endura has a saber grind which was alright in cutting tasks. It is not a smooth slicer like a flat ground blade but still takes a good edge that will last for a while. The length of the knife in its closed position is long and I would notice it when I had worn jeans or pants with shallow pockets; make sure you have deep pockets for this knife so that it can be carried comfortably. Overall, this was a great EDC and served its purpose. This knife is for someone looking for a larger EDC blade that also maintains a lightweight status. Also, the price, in my opinion, is a great deal.
