Product Description
Full-flat ground from VG-10 stainless steel the Endela Wharncliffe*s blade is available in both PlainEdge and SpyderEdge
Spyderco*s groundbreaking Delica and Endura models have been mainstays of our product line since they were first unveiled in 1990. Together these revolutionary designs pioneered the concept of the lightweight, clip-carry, one-handed folding knife and were instrumental in popularizing fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) as a handle material. Light, durable, and resistant to most chemicals and solvents, this remarkable material can be injection molded to create intricate shapes and textures in virtually any color of the rainbow. Since their introduction, the Delica and Endura Lightweights have earned a loyal, worldwide following and distinguished themselves among Spyderco*s most popular and best-selling models. They have also evolved steadily through four generations of design refinement, in the process inspiring many different expressions of their basic forms featuring various blade steels, grinds, edge configurations, and handle colors. Despite their tremendous popularity among serious knife users, truth be told, there really is no one-size-fits-all* knife. Individual hand sizes and personal preferences differ, as do the various laws regarding legally permissible blade length. Based on feedback from countless Spyderco enthusiasts, it was clear that there was both room and a bourgeoning demand for a middle-ground* knife that includes all the features and benefits of the Delica and Endura Lightweights in an in-between* size. That knife, which also shares elements of the names of its predecessors, is the Endela.

About brand
Quick! List the most respected and innovative knife companies you can think of. If you know anything about knives, Spyderco is somewhere near the top. Spyderco Inc. makes some of the most unique and downright bizarre knife designs you'll see on the market, but from the number of passionate fans discussing, debating, and learning everything they can about Spyderco knives, it's clear that the company has done something right.
From the Glesser Family and the Spyderco Crew:
Since starting Spyderco we've been told our knives are different, peculiar, even out there. All true. Thinking beyond established knife industry barriers allowed us to introduce new and radical innovations to the knife culture including: One-hand opening, serrations on a folder and a clip to attach a knife to a pocket.
We didn't go into business to rake in a mountain of dough we're here for more selfish reasons- indulging our passion for creating knives. Spyderco is definitely out of the norm in the knife industry in our dedication to researching and developing fresh, improved and better performing materials all with function and reliability being key.
Someone once said to Sal Glesser, Spyderco's owner, 'You must design in the dark because your knives look so strange.' True again. Our recognizable appearance is a result of designing ergonomic functional tools rather than applying lipstick and nylons to a pocketknife. We may look curious, homely, whatever, but we'll never be called unusable or undependable.
Making knives that consistently deliver reliable high-performance requires an ongoing commitment to testing. In our million-dollar testing facility we examine edge retention with a CATRA machine, look for rust development with Q-FOG, check the force needed to open and close a knife. We also repeatedly test for stress, wear, optimal heat-treating and actively search for higher quality, performance enhancing steels and materials.
As a customer you probably don't think about this, or much care, but it allows us to put forth a promise. When you purchase a Spyderco you are buying a high-quality reliable cutting tool designed and manufactured for peak performance and ergonomic comfort. Those Who Know Carry Spyderco.
