Description
In 1990, Spyderco transformed the knife industry with the introduction of the Delica and Endura. These groundbreaking folders brought lightweight performance and one-hand opening capabilities to the market, making high-quality pocketknives accessible to all. Both models quickly became Spyderco’s top bestsellers, and their refinement has been a continuous process ever since. Spyderco coined the term CQI (Constant Quality Improvement) to describe this ongoing enhancement.
Through CQI, Spyderco has continuously tweaked the ergonomics, refined the blade steels, and fine-tuned the performance of the Endura and Delica. The latest iterations, the Endura4 and Delica4, represent the pinnacle of this evolutionary journey. Both models now feature screw construction for easier cleaning and adjustment. The fiberglass reinforced nylon (FRN) handles are molded with Bi-Directional Texturing® to provide optimal traction and improved ergonomics. Inside, dual skeletonized stainless steel liners enhance strength without adding unnecessary weight, providing a robust anchor for all components.
The VG-10 blades of the Endura4 and Delica4 are flat saber-ground with a stronger tip and a larger 13mm opening hole. Slip-resistant jimping on the blade’s spine adds to their functionality. Phosphor bronze washers ensure smooth opening and closing, while the upgraded four-way pocket clip allows for versatile carry options (tip-up/tip-down, left- or right-handed).
