n 1990 Spyderco shook things up by introducing
two knives, the Delica and Endura. First of their kind on the market,
both folders opened up the knife market to lightweight performance,
one-hand open pocketknives that just about everyone could afford. They
settled as Spyderco’s top two bestsellers and their improvement hasn’t
slowed since. Refinement has been so ongoing and continual Spyderco
tagged the updating/upgrading process with the term CQI- Constant
Quality Improvement. During the Endura and Delica’s CQI journey Spyderco
tweaked ergonomics, refined blade steels and fine-tuned their
performance countless times. They are an evolutionary work in progress
and the next level is here with the new Endura4 and Delica4. Both models
now have screw construction making cleaning and adjusting easier. The
fiberglass reinforced nylon handles come molded with Bi-Directional
Texturing® for preferred traction and improved ergonomics. Inside the
handle dual skeletonized stainless steel liners make the knife stronger
without adding weight and make an anchor for all external and internal
components to attach through adding sturdiness and rigidity. Their VG-10
blades are flat saber-ground with a stronger tip and larger 13mm opening
hole. Added to the blade’s spine is slip resistant jimping. Phosphor
bronze washers smooth out the open/close action and the clip is upgraded
to a four-way tip-up, tip-down, left- or right-handed clip.. |
