The Endura changed the way the world makes folding knives. When Spyderco released it in 1990 people poked fun at its untraditional appearance and features. It introduced one-hand-open, lightweight folders to the knife buying public offering tremendous performance for dollar value. Since then the Endura has undergone many evolutionary refinements and upgrades retaining its title as the first (and quite possibly the finest) lightweight one-hand open, folder available.

The VG-10 blade is flat saber-ground for a strong cutting edge and comes in a PlainEdge, SpyderEdge or CombinationEdge™ configuration. Textured with a Volcano Grip™ pattern, the handle is injection molded from black FRN that resists temperature change and chemical exposure. Completely ambidextrous, the black metal clip affixes through the landyard hole for left/right-hand, tip-up carry.
