## Description

If you already own a Delica or Endura, you have one of signature knives Spyderco makes. The knife you have just acquired is a bit different from the normal C10 Endura 4 and C11 Delica 4 Lightweights. They are now available in a range of new handle colors with full-flat ground blades. Their FRN (fiberglass reinforced nylon) handles come in new vibrant tones including blue, green, brown, gray, and purple. Molded onto the handle's surface is Bi-Directional Texturing for slip-free tactile traction. Inside the handle are dual skeletonized stainless steel liners which strengthen the knife without additional weight and double as an anchor for external and internal components to attach through generating more sturdiness and rigidity.
The blades are full flat-ground VG-10 with a thinner highly refined cutting edge and a larger 13mm opening hole. Added to the blade's spine is slip resistant jimping. Phosphor bronze washers smooth out the open/close action and the clip is upgraded to a four-way tip-up, tip-down, left-or right-handed clip.

## Features

- Trusted EDC Design - With over three decades of refinement, the Endura 4 remains a benchmark in folding knife design, trusted worldwide for everyday utility and dependable function.
- Customizable Carry Options - A four-position pocket clip and high-strength back lock provide secure, flexible carry for right- or left-handed users, ensuring confidence in any situation.
- Lightweight Yet Rugged - Injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced nylon handle with skeletonized steel liners delivers durability and comfort without adding bulk.
- High-Performance VG-10 Steel - Full-flat-ground VG-10 stainless steel blades provide a strong, sharp edge with excellent cutting performance and corrosion resistance, available in multiple edge styles.
- Everyday Cutting Confidence - From outdoor adventures to daily utility, the Endura 4 combines lightweight construction, secure ergonomics, and professional cutting power in one dependable tool.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Versatile Do-Everything Knife for Every Day Use.
*by  on Reviewed in the United States February 17, 2013*

So, I researched different knives for several months. I have never spent more than $20 on a knife, and I already had a Leatherman Wave- so the price was a little off-putting. I did know I wanted a bigger blade than was on the Leatherman, so I had my eye on anything over 3 inches. After plenty of Googling it seems there are not only a ton of Spyderco fans but many of them love the Endura 4- so I decided to order it after comparing similar-sized Benchmade, Kershaw, and Buck knives. Needless to say I made the right choice. I think it'll be hard to find a better bang for your buck from any of those other manufacturers than you're getting with this blade. I carry the Endura 4 with me whenever I leave the house. It's super-duper light, and clips nicely to my pants pocket or suit jacket for work or any other occasion. And if you don't like where the clip comes from the factory, it has 3 other mounting holes to satisfy the fickle. The handle is nice and "grippy" and seems very durable- and it's reinforced with a skeletonized steel frame for added rigidity. And the handle will fit in just about any hand- it's longer than the widest part of my hand- so it's safe for doing heavy cutting. But the main reason this knife is so popular probably has more to do with the blade. According to my research the VG-10 steel Spyderco uses is the same type of steel that's used in those expensive and acclaimed Japanese chef knives. What does that mean to the average person? It cuts and slices like butter and keeps a sharp edge for longer than a lesser "stainless" steel blade. Seriously- go Google "VG-10." And the best part is, when you go to sharpen it, it takes a nice razor-sharp cutting edge fairly quickly. The blade is also thinner (known as a full flat-ground) than some pocket knives, but don't mistake thin for flimsy- because there's nothing low quality about this knife. The flat ground blade allows it to slice more effectively than a thicker blade- which makes it very versatile. Anyway, so you're probably wondering what I use this blade for? Well everything really.-Cooking. It's a great slicer for meat and vegetables. I have prepared many many meals with the knife.-Cutting through boxes, tie-line, zip-ties, rope, tape etc. And when I loan it to co-workers, I always get compliments on how nice, light, and sharp it is.-Camping. Want to cook meals or whittle sticks? No problem, it does it all.In the 6 or so months I've owned it, I've sharpened it three times and oiled it with a bit of 3-in-1, and that's about it. The fit and finish is still like new. No extra wiggle or play. The blade still locks firmly into place with a satisfying and heavy click.Oh, and one other thing. I have heard reports that this blade isn't entirely rust proof (most stainless steel isn't except Spyderco's H-1 steel blades). I just make sure to always dry it after I use it with food or water, and always clean the blade with some water and a soft sponge at the end of the day if it has anything on it. As long as you do this, you should have zero problems. And if you're spending as much as this on a knife, I don't see why you wouldn't do this anyway.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Spyderco Endura4 Blue
*by  on Reviewed in the United States June 23, 2014*

I am a huge fan of COLD STEEL knives. I have several COLD STEEL knives and have used the as a EDC knife. The COLD STEEL VOYAGER XL, full serration has served me well all the years I have carried it. I have a COLD STEEL VOYAGER XL Tanto blade which I use when riding my bike. They are both excellent knives which have proved themselves useful in combat, every day use, and nearly everything I have thrown at them. The only problem is they are BIG knives, which is perfect when I need large knives, but sometimes when I am wearing shorts or light weight clothing I need a knife which can be both lighter and yet, still be an excellent knife.In the Corps I had a few guys who carried Spyder co knives so I was passingly familiar with the Spyderco brand. After realizing my need for a lighter EDC knife I looked at COLD STEEL again, but didn't see what I wanted in a smaller lighter knife. It was then that I looked at both KERSHAW and SPYDERCO. Kershaw often uses a liner lovk for their knives. To me thats a deal breaker, because when a kife using a liner lock meets formidable opposition there is a tendency for the liner lock to slip to the side and the knife blade collapse or the liner lock simply fail. In combat you are only as good as your tools.When I looked at the Spyderco Endura 4 I saw that they had a frame lock which is far more stout and dependable. Then, I noticed the shape of the knife blade and quality and saw that the blades are full flat-ground VG-10 with a thinner highly refined cutting edge and a larger opening hole. I went on Youtube and watched 'NutinFancy's Review on the SPYDERCO Endura-4 and with that I decided to purchase the blade.After receiving the blade I can say with clarity that the SPYDERCO Endura-4 is an excellent, well balanced, quality knife that is light weight and made with longevity in mind. The blade was OK sharp out of the box, but after a few passes on my Lansky knife sharpener it is now razor sharp. The Endura-4 easily and effortlessly slices like a razor blade straight down a sheet of paper without any pressure being applied. The blade tip is needle sharp and glides right into the produce I tested it on. The weight of the blade is amazingly light and will serve me well when I am wearing summer clothing. The color of the knife is blue but it is not light blue, nor dark blue, it is a mix of grey and blue.I highly recommend this knife if you keep in mind that it is a light weight knife which will serve you well in average situations.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ one of the best knives for the money
*by  on Reviewed in the United States January 24, 2011*

i have passed on owning an endura for years. i had read all the super reviews and feedback, and finally i decided i wanted a folder with a different color scales than all the blacks i own, so i picked this one.maybe one of the best choices i ever made.all spyderco's come sharp from the factory. i own a bunch and i know people who do as well, and i've never heard a verfied source say they got a dull one yet. not saying it's never happened, but i've never heard it or seen it from a verfied, by myself, source. point being if you want a sharp out of the box knife you don't have to sharpen yourself when you get it, this one is for you. plenty of other reasons i'll state below on why this is a good choice.on to the knife. steel is very good, imho. the vg-10 holds a good edge for awhile. sharpening is a little tough to get razor sharp, but i can do it and trust me i suck at sharpening. mine, like all spyderco's, came razor sharp out of the box.mines been wet already and sweated on even though it's winter, i live, work, and play outside in the florida swamps. no rust or discoloration so far and i've had sandvik 12c27 rust with the same exposure this one had. so rust resistance appears to be pretty good, better than i expected anyways. this is my first vg-10 steel knife, but so far i am impressed.handle design is good a little sharp with the edges of the frn scales on the bottom of the grip where the knife folds back into the handles. not a deal breaker, though and i am nitpicking. easily shaved down to make smooth if you prefer that like i do. for referrence i asked numerous people i work with who like knives and use them and ones who do not.... to hold it and cut with it, etc to see if i was nitpicking about the sharpish edges, and turns out it only bothered me, no one else noticed it even after i told them, and showed them what i was talking about. maybe the shape of my hands or grip? anyways...don't let that stop you it appears to only be me, and it only bothered me when using a strong grip and doing allot of repetitive cutting..so i shaved them down with another spyderco knive and now it's perfect for me anyways.....blade had no play side to side or up or down. the spyderco lockback is nice and tight. far better than my buck 110, as it wobbles up and down a bit.grip design is fantastic. bi-directional texturing on the frn scales works and works well, imho. wet or dry this knive didn't slip around in my hands. nice large handle that fits my little hands well, but also fit others i had play with it, with large hands, it fit them well to.design of the blade i highly like, others i let play with it liked a more tradtional blade design better at first, but once they got to cutting, it changed their mind pretty quickly. some still stated while it was easy to use and worked well, they still didn't like the design for it's looks. i guess it's a love it or hate it design pretty much?nice and lightweight. in the pocket i barely remmeber it's there. which is a huge plus...downside is the frn doesn't grab jean or khaki pant pocket material that well and it can easily pull out. which can be a plus if the g-10 annoys you when you pull it out and it grabs your pants a bit as it comes out...but i prefer that...this one doesn't grip so well. to clarify in my ramblings...mine won't fall out of my pocket, but i could see that might be an issue with certain pocket designs.other than that i highly like the frn...i disliked it at first as i thought it looked cheap, but up close and the plastic in your hands...changed my mind. it's a highly useful scale material for strength and lightweight needs. i won't shy from it in the future like i used to.mine was nicely finished and attention to details like all spyderco's. i would buy again. it's that good a knife for the price. there is a reason this is a best seller and one of the most popular models out there. it is that good.
