Saber Ground Endura 4 Signature Knife
Onkata
Product Description
Endura 4 Signature Knife
CRAFTED FOR LIFE
Released in 1990, the original Spyderco Endura and its smaller counterpart, the Delica, literally redefined the concept of today’s folding knife. As the very first lightweight, clip-carry, one-hand-opening folders, they set a new standard. The fourth-generation Endura continues to set the standard as one of the best-selling folding knives ever made. In the process, it has also spawned an entire family of variations to meet virtually every user’s needs and preferences.
The direct descendants of the original model, Endura 4 Lightweights feature skeletonized stainless steel liners and injection-molded fiberglass-reinforced-nylon (FRN) handles. They come in a full spectrum of colors and a variety of different grinds, edge configurations, and blade steels.
Specialized versions include one with an Emerson Opening Feature that automatically opens the blade as the knife is drawn, a blunted red-handled trainer, and all-new hand-dyed Zome versions with multicolored handles.

My criteria for this knife purchase were then as followed (ranked in order of importance):
1) Folding knife, 3-4" from a name brand manufacturer. Folding because I would carry it with me everywhere, and these are typically lighter too. 3-4" because longer knives are increasingly awkward to work with on most tasks, and shorter knives just look small (I want to like my knife!). A name brand knife would hopefully mean a tight lockup (no or veryyyy little blade play), good quality build, decent customer service, and a name knife people can recognize (because its nice having a knife people think is cool).
2) Good steel. Name brand manufacturers offer knives in bad steel for cheaper blades, and I didn't want that. I wanted a decent/good steel. I didn't want to break the bank, but I wanted to have a blade made out of something worth making a blade out of. (sharpening difficulty, edge retention, rust resistance, ect)
3) Blade shape. I wanted something shaped like a drop or spear point. These were the knives I found easiest to use. I would prefer a knife without serrations. Small amounts of serration at the base would be acceptable, but perhaps not ideal.
4) Opening speed/ease. I wanted a knife that was fast to open, because the faster it is, the more convenient it is. If I could get a knife that would be better at self defense WITHOUT sacrificing utility, I would opt for that knife. Self defense wasn't my primary purpose for purchasing but anyone who says they don't carry a knife for self defense is either dumb or lying, because when it comes down to it, if you need to use that knife to save your life, you will, no questions asked. That is called self defense. Again, any knives with gains in self defense WITHOUT sacrificing in the previous areas would be preferable over alternatives to me.
With all those criteria in mind, this is the perfect knife for me. It fits all of the criteria perfectly. Folding, 3.8" blade, Spyderco, very nice lockup, good quality, good customer service (from what I hear, haven't needed it yet), VG-10 steel is a great steel, blade shape is what I wanted, no serrations, and this is in the group of the fastest opening knives on the market because of the wave feature (although I will mention that spyderco's wave is larger than any other manufacturer, and this does make for easier, more reliable opening, so one could argue that this is the fastest). That is why I bought the knife.
Upon using and working with the knife, my expectations have been met. I love this knife. I don't have a single complaint.
----- 2 Month Update -----
I still love the knife, man this thing is awesome, and the wave feature is so nice. Initially I looked at it as just a tactical improvement, but its actually shown to be a utility improvement too. Opening this knife with gloves on is a breeze, and if something needs to be cut, no one needs to wait around while you fumble with your knife. You can hold what youre cutting in one hand and veryyy easily cut it without any thought, in any conditions.
I have learned how to operate the knife completely with one hand, which is something I did not think could be done (closing a lock back one handed?). You can actually put your finger in a place under the blade, and hinge the locking mechanism. If you know where to put your finger, the blade will fall and the flat part by the base with bump into you, letting you reach around and close it.
As Im typing this, I did a blade play check. The blade still locks up as tight as the day I bought it, and it should. Its only been two months.
Another thing I've learned that I like is that you can easily open this knofe quietly. This is true with any lock back, but this is my first real venture into the lock back scene. I will say that while this is still my ideal knife, I do not like lock back knives. The wave on this knife counters it, but on any other I would not be interested.
I dont use the knife an excessive amount, and I havent needed to sharpen it yet. Thats pretty nice.
I do really like the handles. As some others have mentioned, they might feel cheap because they are slightly flexible and polymer based. However, the knife has a skeletonized liner and its not going to ever break. I prefer the reinforced nylon, it gives better grip in my opinion. Spyderco wins for putting amazing gimping on their blades, and extra texture on the back of the handle where the blade gimping is. It reallyyyy improves how well you can hold on to the knife.
I think thats just about all the observations I've made on the knife while owning it. It's still my ultimate knife, if anything I love it more now then when I first wrote this review. I've kinda fallen in love with the blade shape too, from an asthetic point. The long, thinner (edge to spine, its thicker from side to side than the normal endura I hear) blade just looks so elegant. I thought itd be something I just lived with, but I really like how it looks.
Great knife. Worth my money.
----- 2 Year Update -----
Ok, so, it hasn't exactlyyyy been two years, but it's close enough (1 year 9 months?) and I really just want to echo my previous statements. This knife is still my edc. I love it. I love everything about it.
"If you could go back, would you get a different knife?" ... Possibly. But I know exactly which one it is. It would be this knife's smaller sister, the delica w/ wave opener. That's the only knife I could possibly foresee kicking this out of my go-to position. Are there other knives I am interested in? Yes. Lately I've been eyeing up MCUSTA's Tactility with the cocobano handles. But even if I got it, nothing would ever remove this knife from my collection or from my rotation. It is edc perfection.
----- 3 Year Update -----
Still loving it. I now own knives that are 2, even 3 times the price of this guy. This is not to say that I do not love those knives, they are very nice, however this spydie endura with the wave opener is still my go-to. I still hold that the delica might be a better size (see 2 year update), however I'm super happy with my endura and would never get rid of it.
It's hard to beat VG-10 steel for it's combination of durability, edge-retention, sharpening ease, and resistance to rust. The lock-back is durable and I am able to open and close this knife with one hand (this takes practice). I have spent some time searching through forums and it seems that very few people have encountered any durability issues with the lock-back mechanism of the knife. The scales are fully lined with VG-10 steel which allows the knife to feel balanced and sturdy. Overall, this knife feels robust and the combination of the solid lock-back and steel liners allows for zero wiggle in the blade.
Style:
I value the combination edge over a straight edge or fully-serrated because of the versatility--the knife edge is long enough that each section is a practical length to complete it's intended task. If I were to buy something with a shorter edge, like the Delica, I would probably not go with a combo edge. A caveat for potential buyers, this knife looks mean/dangerous, and it is probable that the handler will encounter people with an aversion to the style. A top-down view of the saber grind on the blade reveals a consistency in thickness nearly down to the knife point which lends to the toughness of the knife; however, the saber grind will not have the performance of a full-flat grind when it comes to slicing ability (though the difference will be fairly minimal to the average user).
Ergonomics:
The Spyder Hole feels very comfortable and is my preferred opening 'mechanism'. The gimping on the top of the knife gives the user some good purchase and is a definite improvement over the Endura 3. The FRN scales are very 'grippy' and are also fairly thin which allows the knife to easily slide into the pocket. But, the scales are where one might find some fault in the Endura--I have fairly large hands and the front 'finger placement' isn't quite large enough to comfortably accommodate my index and middle fingers. The handle is also a bit thin, leaving me to have to adapt my grip to the handle rather than vice-versa.
Conclusion:
The knife is durable, well-balanced, composed of amazing steel, is easy and comfortable to open, and has some small flaws in the handle. However, as the owner of Spyderco, Sal Glesser, once said, "If you're looking at the handle, you're looking at the wrong end of the knife." I love this knife and I have supreme confidence in its build quality.
