The Spyderco Endela Lightweight C243PCBL masterfully bridges the gap between the compact Delica 4 and the larger Endura 4, offering an ideal balance of size, performance, and portability. This model features Spyderco's proprietary CPM SPY27 steel and a distinctive cobalt blue FRN handle, making it a standout choice for everyday carry enthusiasts.
Blade Excellence: CPM SPY27 Steel
At the heart of the Endela Lightweight is a 3.41-inch drop point blade crafted from CPM SPY27 stainless steel, a steel developed exclusively for Spyderco. This steel offers a balanced combination of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and ease of sharpening. The full-flat grind and satin finish enhance cutting performance and reduce friction, making it suitable for various tasks.
Ergonomic Cobalt Blue FRN Handle
The handle is constructed from cobalt blue fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN), providing a lightweight yet durable grip. Its Bi-Directional Texturing™ ensures a secure hold, while skeletonized stainless steel liners offer structural strength without adding bulk. The handle design accommodates both right and left-handed users, featuring a four-position pocket clip for versatile carry options.
Reliable Lockback Mechanism
Spyderco's lockback mechanism delivers secure blade lockup and allows for easy one-handed operation. This lock design is known for its strength and reliability, enhancing user safety during use.
