A lightweight, full-size FRN-handled folding knife, one of Spyderco's longest-running and most popular everyday carry models.

Why it's buy-it-for-life

A redditor found a weathered, discarded Endura4 while out hunting, restored it, and made it one of his regular everyday-carry knives — a sign of how durable and repairable the design is.

    I also found an endura while out hunting, it was baked quite a bit on the sunny side... cleaned it up/restored it, its one of my EDC knives.
