In 1990 Spyderco shook things up by introducing two
knives, the Delica and Endura. First of their kind on the market, both folders
opened up the knife market to lightweight performance, one-hand open
pocketknives that just about everyone could afford. They settled as Spyderco?s
top two bestsellers and their improvement hasn?t slowed since. Refinement has
been so ongoing and continual Spyderco tagged the updating/upgrading process
with the term CQI- Constant Quality Improvement. During the Endura and Delica?s
CQI journey Spyderco tweaked ergonomics, refined blade steels and fine-tuned
their performance countless times. They are an evolutionary work in progress and
the next level is here with the new Endura4 and Delica4. Both models now have
screw construction making cleaning and adjusting easier. The fiberglass
reinforced nylon handles come molded with Bi-Directional Texturing for preferred
traction and improved ergonomics. Inside the handle dual skeletonized stainless
steel liners make the knife stronger without adding weight and make an anchor
for all external and internal components to attach through adding sturdiness and
rigidity. Their VG-10 blades are flat saber-ground with a stronger tip and
larger 13mm opening hole. Added to the blade?s spine is slip resistant jimping.
Phosphor bronze washers smooth out the open/close action and the clip is
upgraded to a four-way tip-up, tip-down, left- or right-handed clip.
