My go-to camping / hiking / outdoors knife.

I have the gray FFG Endura and keep it in my "adventure" pack, I use for all sorts of outdoors activities, from day hikes to short weekend backpacking trips, and even family camping trips. This knife lives in that pack. I use it for everything from food prep to whittling. It's slim, light, and tough as nails. After six months of semi-regular outdoors use, I just sharpened it again for the first time. The flat grind and leaf shape make it a great utility knife that does a decent job of anything you do with it. You can get knives that will do *some* things better than the Endura, but I can't think of a knife that will do *all* the same things, as well or better, than the Endura.

Must have knife

It will probably see more use in the camp kitchen than in the woods. It's extremely sharp. I'm glad I waited to buy an Endura. When the flat ground model came out I knew I had to have one. It should be a great slicer. I have Spyderco's "Tenacious" as a beater knife. This Endura is too nice. The grey FRN handle is super grippy. I like G10 for its looks but this FRN has more traction.And in grey, it is very handsome. It's a big pocketknife with a big handle but not heavy at all. Great job Spyderco!

Thanks Nutnfancy!

I was looking for a good EDC knife, and thanks to Nutnfancy's in depth review I went with this one. Very pleased with the knife, and nutn's comments about it were spot on. Arrived perfectly honed and sharp.

Truly an Excellent Knife

This knife is excellent. I use it as my EDC and sometimes forget that I have it on me. The blade is hair-popping sharp, right out of the box. Holds an edge extremely well, and has a pretty strong point for how thin it is. The FRN handles are extremely grippy, you'll never have to worry about your hand sliding around on this handle. The lock is strong, not quite up to Cold Steel's Tri-Ad Lock, but it's definitely strong enough for its intended uses. If you're debating whether or not to buy a Spyderco, go to a knife shop, handle an Endura, and you'll probably make your decision before you put the knife down.

good ole' endura

i've been a spyderco fan for a long time and have many of their products. I love em all, titanium frame locks, carbon fiber, high tech steels,I rotate my EDC a lot,but my hand often gravitates back to my good ole' enduras' light,thin,sharp,durable, feels great in the hand, what more could you want? And I'm really diggin my flat grind model,I got it when they first came out and it is still my go to blade for all the above reasons. If you don't own an endura,buy one! You won't be dissapointed.

Fantastic knife, just as I suspected from Spyderco!

I carry this everyday but reserve it for the easy stuff, I also a smaller knife that I don't mind beating up. This knife is fantastic as an EDC knife, but I keep mine in peak condition in case of SD or emergency need. VG10 steel is great, I like relatively thin FRN handle that slips easily into any pocket, solid lock-up and I like that this one uses torx rather than pinned construction. Gives me the option of 'tuning it up' as needed. I love this knife and the grey color is great.

Great Knife

This is a great knife in all aspects. The blade steel is awesome and I truly enjoy the feel of the knife and have confidence in the blade. I feel the grip is very well done even in wet conditions. On top of that the Opening is great to open even in wet conditions including wearing gloves. Very durable, great steel and a nice sleek design. Keeps a fine edge and nothing to sharpen. I judge blades on how they fit my needs and have no problem taking this blade on a 3 day camping trip fishing and camping on Cape Cod which is an area that can totally change from one extreme to another in 20 mins.

Utterly Perfect

Beautiful, flawless knife for EDC. Great finish and extremely sharp. Because of it's size and deadly flat grind, this would be deadly if every used in self defense.

My vote for the world's best pocket knife

This knife has an vastly improved grind over the black handled Endura 4. The flat grind slices and cuts much better than the old grind. The VG-10 steel is a super choice. It holds a scary sharp edge, yet even I can sharpen it. At first I thought this knife was too big until I saw how it dissapears in a pocket. Nice! It goes everywhere with me every day. The handle is shaped well and is non slip. The blade lockes securely open and the spring holds it shut when not in use. This knife is so useful and well made and your price is such that I vote it the best pocket knife in the world, and I have had quite a few.

Great Knife!

Use: EDC/Emergency Tactical Love the thumb ramp and jimping. Didn't enjoy the FRN scales. The pattern is too aggressive and digs into my fingers and tears up my pocket when using the pocket clip.

Fantastic

I love this knife. The Endura was already a favorite, but the flat grind VG-10 blade is a fantastic all around use knife. I'm really looking forward to taking it camping this year; I anticipate it being a great camp cook knife. It's just about perfect for an EDC knife.

Good buy

I bought this knife as an upgrade to my edc. It is what I expected. The patterning on the frn handle really gives a good lock on the knife. Relatively fast opening, & extremely sharp from the factory, tight lock up. Knifecenter once again was prompt in their processing & shipping, and provided accurate tracking information.

Nice upgrade from the saber bladed style

Just what I was looking for in an affordable flat grind knife. Bonus to be a larger-size folder. It's a 3.75" blade in a very lite package. The handle is skelotonized and ergonomics on it are excellent, the jimping, everything just like the saber-grind endura-4s but now with a smooth cutting full flat grind blade. For the price, this is a great knife.

Great Knife!

I love this knife! It feels great in my hand and I really like the jimping at the base of the blade spine. It is contoured to fit the thumb well. It came very sharp and the VG-10 steel is a great high value steel IMHO. I have one knock, if you like to carry tip up, about 7/8 of an inch is exposed while tip down will eliminate about 3/8ths of that.

made a good knife better

I'm a fan of full flat grind blades. adding this blade grind to the endura in FRN handle just made a good knife better. I hope they offer this blade grind in a black FRN handle.

This is a great value for the quality. It came razor sharp with excellent fit and finish. I was surprised how light it is compared to all my other knives. I'm using this knife for outdoor activities and emergencies (public safety). For my purposes I need something more substantial. The full flat ground is nice, but seems to take aways some of the strength of the blade because its thinner.

Zytel feels very cheep

the knife cannot be opened fast without significant wrist flick! (but that's true for ANY Spyderco and it is a downside for me) the blade itself it's construction its grind & sharpness are very very good! but its cheep looking handle and a back lock that has a minute locking surface does make for excellent food prepping knife - but not suited for a tough work then that. for half its price get yourself an Ontario Rat model 1 preferably without the paint coating, its much tougher much smoother in hand & flays of the handle with perfect flick-able thumb-studs.
