Spyderco's Delica and Endura are two of the most popular folding knives ever produced. They have been in continuous production for more than 30 years and have each inspired scores of variations of their basic form. Based on that proven track record, these venerable designs come about as close as you can get to pleasing the greater population of knife users. However, for some, they still are not quite perfect. While the subtle contours of their handle shapes find favor with most hands, size-wise the Delica can be too small for some and the Endura too large for others.
To address this issue, in 2019 Spyderco created the Endela. Designed to provide the perfect "Goldilocks" compromise between the Delica 4 and Endura 4 Lightweight models, it quite literally splits the dimensional difference between the two while faithfully maintaining all the highly refined, time-tested features of each. The original Spyderco Endela version features a full-flat-ground blade crafted from VG-10 stainless steel. Like the knives that inspired it, its blade has a straight spine, a subtle belly, and a prominent "hump" to accommodate a fully accessible Trademark Round Hole for ambidextrous one-hand opening. Its lightweight handle is injection molded from fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) and includes non-slip Bi-Directional Texturing, skeletonized stainless steel liners, a sturdy back lock mechanism with a Boye Dent, and a versatile four-position pocket clip.
