It was easy to deploy (thumb hole) but I never trusted the lockback (which rose above the scales in the back). The Gerber was not sharp and I could not get it sharp. When the clip eventually got loose (and could not be tightened), I switched to CRKT M16 because of the double lock. It was sharp and I could mostly keep it sharp and I liked the tanto blade. But the blade was too short and I learned that I will never trust a liner lock (with or without a double lock). I discovered the Benchmade 'axis' lock (Gerber calls a similar lock the 'wedge', others call it 'crossbolt'). I ordered one with a thumbhole and got one with thumb studs. It is a fine lock but it makes the knife fat. I also worried that a push from the front might dislodge the lock unintentionally (the spring on Gerber's wedge is much stronger). The blade was too short and I will not get another knife with studs, but the essential problem was that it would not cut more than the old Gerber E-Z. That brings me to the Endura4. Thought I would never get another lockback, but Spyderco's lockback is not like the old Gerber. It is precision-cut and gives a very satisfying click when engaged. The lockback rides below the scales, and, if that is not enough protection, Spyderco added the 'dent'. My fingers appreciate the idea. The big thumbhole makes the knife deployable with gloves. Finally, the Endura4 (VG-10 steel, Japan) cuts everything from delicate (smooth opening of a CD security strip), to ordinary (quartering apples), to difficult (low-lying Osage Orange branches on my daily walk). Quality is at Benchmade standards but, if I ever need to work on it, the fasteners are torx T8 for the blade and T6 for the rest, including the movable clip. That clip is the best I have used so far (better than Benchmade). The scales (handle) are fibreglass-reinforced nylon with steel liners. They are comfortable but yet non-slip. Spyderco add jimming on the front of the scales above and on the the blade just beyond the pivot to further decrease the chance of sliding forward on the blade. That blade is long. It is a big knife in a small package. That means it is a drop point blade, but Spyderco's flat sabre cut (not hollow cut) looks to leave the blade very strong. I will know more after a few years. Review: First "Real" Spyderco..Love it! - I have a Spyderco Persistance and love it. The persistance was my first Spyderco product and I was very impressed with the build quality of their less expensive, Chinese line up. My wife told me to pick out two new knives for my birthday(thanks babe). After much deliberation I chose the Endura 4 and the Ontario Rat 1 both in plain blade format. Man, is my wife awesome! This Endura 4 is made in Seki City Japan with VG-10 steel and the fit and finish on this entire knife is stellar. The knife is long and large bladed but is lightweight and has a slim profile that fits my larger hands very well. People with medium to small hands of those who have an aversion to large blades should consider the Delica model. The handle should be G-10 at this price point but its not, however the handle feels great in my larger hands and the traction design molded into the handle really provides excellent grip. Multiple clip mounting possibilities are a nice touch along with the lanyard hole. The pocket clip is strong and blacked out with the spider logo etched in. The blade spine is well jimped at the base which is great and along with the contoured handle provide excellent grip and feel in the hand. The blade is gorgeous and long. 4 inches I believe and made out of VG-10 which is a high quality upper grade of Japanese steel. It is hard, strong and difficult to sharpen but holds an edge exceptionally well and for a long time. Flawless grind and edge on this particular knife. The size of the blade makes opening slower for most at first but like most knives will improve with practice and break in. Overall this knife for less than $60 is a great value. The Japanese blade quality and design of this knife impresses even the majority of "Knife Snobs" so you've got that going for you if you care. I love this knife for EDC and self defense puposes because of my XXL hands. The Delica is the model most will want for EDC in my opinion. Superb Steel, Fit and Finish, Ergonomics and Value give this knife a rare 5 stars from me.

Fun fact, one of the first precursors to the whole "wave" concept was a blade by Kershaw with a bottle opener on the back. Craig Douglas recognized the potential and modified it for reverse edge work, calling it the southern comfort and waving the blade years before Emerson patented a similar concept. **Q: Made where?** A: Made in seki japan which is where most mid to high price spyderco blades are made. I have seki made spyderco knives from the first time spyderco started selling their knives in the early 1980's **Q: Can you switch the side the clip is on?** A: Yep. Get some blue loctite and loctite the screws once you switch the clip to the other side in order to ensure the clip doesn't fall off. **Q: Is it made in the USA** A: No. This knife is made in Seki City Japan. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ the first thing a knife should do is cut *by W***T on April 21, 2012* Started carrying a Gerber E-Z many years ago, mostly for show.

Highly Recommend! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Classic And Still One Of The Best *by D***Z on July 10, 2019* Years ago, when I started on the police department in the 1980s, I got a Spyderco Police. The price was a stretch for a young patrolman and as fate would have it, the knife was lost during a foot chase one night only a few months later. It was replaced with various other knives, the last one being a Kershaw Blackout that gave sterling service for several years until I retired. I feel that a knife is probably the most useful and important tools ever developed by mankind, and I still carry a knife daily. Two knives actually; a small knife on my key ring and an EDC knife. Which leads us to the Spyderco Endura. When it came time for a new EDC knife I spent weeks looking at what was available. But I was drawn back to Spyderco (I do own a couple others). The Endura fit the bill; the right size, great quality steel, proven mechanism, and made at Seki City in Japan. What I like: Blade: The knife arrived very sharp. I cannot find a flaw with the blade or grind. I chose the plain edge, saber ground blade. Handles: The handles are black fiberglass reinforced nylon material (FRN) and the pattern of texturing really allows for a solid grip. The is also jimping on the raised portion of the blade behind the thumb hole to help improve grip. I also personally like the slim, flat sided design both from the perspective of grip and carryability. The pocket clip is four position adjustable. Quality: The knife that I received locks up tight. The blade base lines up when it’s locked. The blade lines up when it’s folded. The action, a tad stiff out of the box, continues to smooth out (as it should be). The pocket clip grips tightly. There are no loose screws, flawed screw heads, or anything that isn’t lined up. This is a nice knife. What I don’t like: I have always found the Spyderco thumbhole awkward when opening a knife. Some people can flick them right open, I just can’t seem to get the knack. I still love the knives, and I can open them with one hand, it’s just slow when I do it. If you’ve never used a Spyderco and being able to flick a blade open quickly is important to you, I suggest that you try one before buying. The bottom line: The Spyderco Endura is a classic. It’s been around for decades and is still a top seller, that should tell you something. This is an excellent knife, very well made. And the best part? At this price it’s an absolute bargain. ## Frequently Bought Together - Spyderco Endura 4 Lightweight Signature Knife with 3.80" VG-10 Steel Blade and FRN Handle - PlainEdge - C10PBK - 1PC Back Spacer Signet Ring For Spyderco Endura 4 Knives US NEW - Spyderco Endura 4 Lightweight Signature Knife with 3.80" VG-10 Steel Blade and Black FRN Handle - PlainEdge - C10FPBK --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/1871094-endura-4-lightweight-folding-pocket-knife-with-3-8-vg](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/1871094-endura-4-lightweight-folding-pocket-knife-with-3-8-vg) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-06-23*
