Reviews

“Great knife with the excellent quality I’ve come to expect from Spyderco. The steel is VG-10 and it’s made in Japan. The jimping is top quality and will give you a great grip to keep your hand from slipping into the blade if you ever have to stab something. The pocket clip can be mounted on either the left or right side, and tip up or tip down carry, and because of the Spyderco logo on the handles the aggressive texturing won’t destroy your pants pocket. This knife can be completely taken apart. The pivot screw is torx 8 and the handle screws are torx 6. This knife is really light too, lighter than Id expect given it’s large size. Some people have complained about the Endura 4′s steel liners adding extra ounces, well I don’t even notice.. Iv made this my edc defensive blade and It’s so light I forget I have it. The ergonomics are a bit weird if you’re not used to Spyderco knives, but it won’t take you long to get used to it. The wave feature will make it difficult to use this as a kubotan but that’s a small sacrifice. It also came razor sharp out of the box and is a piece of cake to resharpen with my little pocket diamond stone, probably would be even easier with a full size stone, or a sharpmaker.”

“The only thing that bothered me a bit was the picture displayed here makes the handles look black. They’re actually a dark, almost navy blue color. After looking around a bit on the internet I don’t think they make the Endura 4 wave with black handles. Just something to keep in mind if it’s color matters to you, as long as it’s not orange blaze or neon pink or something like that it doesn’t bother me. You could probably buy a normal Endura 4 and put it’s black handles on the wave if you wanted to.”
