Spyderco Endura 4 Lightweight

$107.25

The Endura 4 has been in continuous production for over 30 years because it solves the EDC folder problem as well as anything at its price point. VG-10 steel from Seki City, Japan, a saber grind that balances edge strength with cutting performance, and a four-position reversible clip that actually works for left- or right-handed carry. At 3.6 ounces with a 3.75" blade, it's a full-size working knife that doesn't feel like one in the pocket. The combo edge adds serrations at the base for rope, webbing, and seatbelts without sacrificing the usable plain edge length.

What Makes This Stand Out

  • VG-10 stainless steel at 60 HRC: Spyderco's go-to blade steel, made in Japan; holds a sharp edge well and resharpens easily

  • Saber grind with combo edge: the plain edge section handles everyday cutting tasks while the serrated section takes on cordage, webbing, and tougher materials

  • Four-position reversible clip: tip-up or tip-down, left or right side; genuinely ambidextrous carry out of the box

  • Back lock with Boye dent: smooth, reliable lock release accessible from either side without repositioning your grip

  • 3.6 oz total weight with a full 3.75" blade in a package that disappears in a pocket

Who It's For

  • EDC users who want a full-size working blade without heavy pocket weight

  • Left-handed carriers: one of the few folders with genuine four-position clip carry

  • Anyone who wants a step up from budget knives without crossing into the $150+ tier

  • Field and utility use where both plain edge precision and serrated cutting capability matter

Who It's NOT For

  • Buyers who prefer a liner or frame lock: the back lock release requires a deliberate thumb motion; not slower, just different

  • Hard-use or prying tasks, as the saber grind and VG-10 are built for cutting performance, not abuse

  • Ultra minimalist carry: at 4.98" closed it's a full-size folder, not a compact
