In the 1980’s, the original Spyderco Endura blazed a trail as one
of the first lightweight clip-carry folding knives. Today it remains one
of our most popular models and continues to set the standard for all other
knives of its breed. Now in its fourth generation, it has also inspired a
broad range of variations to meet virtually every user’s needs and
preferences.
All Endura 4 Lightweights are distinguished by their skeletonized
stainless steel liners and injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon
(FRN) handles. This specific version of the design includes a stout
saber-ground VG-10 stainless steel blade with a partially serrated
CombinationEdge™ and a low-profile black titanium carbonitride
(TiCN) coating. The blade is supported by a sturdy back lock mechanism
that locks it securely open when in use yet allows easy ambidextrous lock
release. Bi-Directional Texturing™ on the handle ensures a positive grip
in even the most demanding conditions and its four-position pocket clip
can be easily configured for tip-up or tip-down carry on either side of
the body. Like the blade, the knife’s clip, lock bar, and other metal
hardware all feature a stealthy, non-reflective black coating.
