The Endura 4 is one of the best real world knives and often, they can be found at lower prices. I choose my colors based on which has the lowest price. I often find them at a lower price than the Delica. I like the longer Endura blade with food preparation since I can keep it cleaner close to the pivot and not have to get water as close to the pivot when cleaning. Maybe I am wring, but I use WD40 to displace water in tight areas since it was made for that purpose (WD = Water Displacement). One warning about disassembly: like the Delica, the Endura backspacer has small tabs on the sides that must be seated in the steel liners. Despite the relaxing of the Spyderco Warranty, the reassembly of the Endura (or Delica) will challenge your mechanical aptitude and perseverance in the face of adversity and blood loss. I use a very thin screwdriver to hold the lock in place as I work the female screw in while ensuring it lines up with the D shaped scale hole. I can spidie flick my Enduras once they are broken in. Also, my blades will drop easily on some of my Enduras when I depress the the lock release, but it never gets as free moving as a PM2.

I'm surprised you didn't mention the obvious use case for this knife: hiking and backpacking. This is the main situation in which having knife with a 3.75 blade that weighs 3.4 pounds (or whatever is is) might actually be useful - things can go wrong in the wilderness, so having a bigger knife provides some reassurance. I wouldn't carry the Endura for EDC- but I would take it camping any time.

You left out some good with a back lock.. No worries about a weak detent due to the strong spring.. I read or heard 100 times that the Endura is great for XL hands.. I have at least XL hands and it's uncomfortable.. The finger points (grooves) on the handle are in all the wrong places for my hand..The forward finger point digs into my middle finger.. I have to hold the knife too far back (unwieldy)) or too far forward (unnatural) to be comfortable..For some reason, the Delica doesn't bother me so much.. The handle is just large enough (barely) and it works.. Many come off center, lock bar not flush, bad edges/grinds.. But, if you get a good one, they are great knives..

Hey Nick I was wondering if you might recommend the endura for someone like me who has unusually large hands. Normally I think I'd like the Delica but in my hands the ontario Rat 1 fits my hands the same way the Rat 2 fits most people's hands and larger bulkier knives are just far more comfortable than small ones for me. Am I still better off with the Delica if I don't need all the blade on the Endura or should I spring for the Endura because it might be better ergonomically for my hands?

They need a collaboration on the benchmade axis lock on these knives or put the compression lock on it somehow and it will be the perfect edc knife in my opinion. Oh and have s30v or 154cm steel but that would up the cost :(

Loved my Endura. Yes the larger copy of the very old ATS-55 Delica which resides in my pocket at the moment. However, having made the fatal error of having it in ZDP-189 one day decided, rather than the arduous (for me) task of getting the blade just so, to send it off to Spyderco for their sharpening service. I Just got a call that they examined the knife and unfortunately they felt the locking mechanism wasn't up to their safety standards. Since they no longer offer the model in zdp-189 with a combination edge they offered me either a replacement under warranty with a plain edge in that metal, or the equivalent credit of the MSRP. Not yet sure what direction I want to go with this . I'm going to miss that knife but at least glad they are addressing it under warranty. The problem as always is that in such a situation the question is to spend a few more bucks and get something different. At this point I may look at a different selection of Endura with a steel I and my bench stones from granddad (well, that and a few ceramics from spyderco) might get along better with. Then again, I've had my eye on the Opus lately. I don't happen to see a review for the Opus yet. I welcome any thoughts. Oh, by-the-way I never had any problem with flickatude.

The Endura is simply the best work knife available. Relatively Inexpensive, stainless, easy to clean, lightweight but strong thanks to the steel liners, tough handle material, plenty of blade length with a functional but robust tip, and you can get any damn color you want. Only problem is the VG10, which means if you’re working in a warehouse hacking through tons of cardboard every day you’re going to need to sharpen it pretty regularly, but you can always get a tool steel version if that’s you. Or there’s even a few dealer exclusive versions with S30V or better steel for a couple bucks more. Not the flashiest choice but if I’ve got serious work to do, I’m reaching for this over my PM2, 940 or anything else similarly sized.

I think when he said that he must think that people who edc $200 plus knives frequent this channel by a such a majority that he is comfortable saying VG 10 is low end.

Nick Shabazz Yeah I get that a lot. It is my opinion and the Endura is a great knife, I just don't think I'm getting my values worth based on materials used. If it had G10 handles than for $70 sure but $70 for zytel? That's why I listed the Kabar Dozier because it has similar materials yet it is only $20 granted AUS8 vs VG-10 but is it really that much of a difference to add $50 to the overall cost? I really think Spyderco is like name brand clothing, your really paying for the name and not necessarily paying for the materials.

BornIn1500 It really doesn't cost that much more. Just go on knife making supply websites and you will see what it costs for certain steels. And it is probably even cheaper for companies as they can buy in bulk.

the reason why you buy the delica or endura is for the ergos and overall weight. I had some cheaper kershaws that I was using daily and they are great budget knives that never left me wanting more. however while I was carrying them all day I noticed they were heavy and pulling down my jeans all day and almost daily it would snag on my seat belt socket when I entered my car (I put it in my right rear pocket). so I saved up and bought a delica and damn I'll never look back. I've fallen asleep while its in my basketball shorts and haven't noticed it and ive used the damn thing like a pry bar thinking its my $20 Kershaw and it came out with just some minor nics lol so its not just about the steel. its about the day in day out experience you get. and like nick says vg10 is good to go!

xxx xxx I get the idea, but if you want a lightweight edc knife than what about the Kabar Dozier? It's made of similar materials albeit it's AUS8 and not VG10, it has a similar blade length to the Delica, and a similar weight, its made in the same country, (correct me if i'm wrong i think its Taiwan) and it's only $20! Why spend $50 for a delica when I can get the Dozier for $20? I just think it's a much better value. If the Delica was like $35 than sure but for $50? Pfff I can get two Doziers in different colors and still have $10 left over. Not saying the Delica or Endura are bad knives I just believe they are way to pricey for what you are getting. And by the way I'm not a cheap bastard or anything I buy $100+ dollar knives all the time.

Grabbed my endura to check out the lanyard hole, I had no idea it was there.

Is the stainless version built better?

'Bout time Nick. Thanks for finally reviewing a TRUE FREAKIN GEM! And it's not 'a huge freakin knife'... It carries like a a pencil as knives go...if you actually bother to try and carry it, you'll find it's totally awesome through and through until you pull it out in the company of sheople...Finally, and I don't recommend it as either, DO NOT DISSASSEMBLE THIS KNIFE...But if you didn't heed the warnings and you find yourself in 'that circle of hell' remember 'zip tie', and that may...MAY....help you crawl out....and the more you open this knife the easier it is ti spydie flik...
