I've had this knife for about a month right now and I must say that this knife is the epitome of Spyderco quality. Words cannot describe how much I love this knife. Super solid lock-up, vg-10 steel, razor sharp, great ergonomics, I think this should be Spyderco's flagship knife.
 
LOL, I agree with you about the quality of this knife. The irony is that it's discontinued.
 
The Endura 4 G10 is no doubt a darn high quality knife, it's excellent but didn't come shaving sharp ou of my box
 
I agree with the OP. I also purchased it when the price dropped. I think the original price was way to high and therefor it did not catch on.
 
I picked up a pair of the foliage green G-10s and the quality is top notch. Lockup is superb. Just not a fan of foliage green so the handles will be dyed black. Then I'll really like and carry this knife.

Where did you get it for that cheap? Link?

I tried searching on ebay or amazon but they are not that cheap...

Update: nevermind. I thought you meant the G-10 version. That price is decent not spectacular especially because it is serrated edge and not plain edge.
 
I got one recently from Turners Outdoorsman and not only is it a very nice knife but at a great price ($59 on sale but the sale is over).

I total agree with you on all you points and it's a pity it was discontinued.I just had a question to all G-10 Endura owner's out there have you take you knife apart for a cleaning as I have.If not you would be shocked as to what lies between the insides of the skeletonized liners and G-10.If you use your knife with food.

I don't know if I'll dare to use this baby to chop up meat whatnot, it is very capable of the job though!

I have yet to disassemble any Endura, the word is that it is hard to put it back together. The only cleaning I've been doing is to spray Teflon wax/lube into Pivot points, and it works wonders and is very smooth like the Teflon treated Endura4 Wave, Native and Kershaws :thumbup: Using compressed air to blast out sand and dirt is a good idea too:cool:
 
I picked up an Endura G-10 a couple of months ago while they were on sale. I knew they wouldn't be around long. I've missed out on a couple of sprint runs because I didn't pull the trigger fast enough. I agree with frgtn340, the fit and finish are outstanding.
 
The action on mine was pretty tight. I also noticed that one of the PB washers was a bit bent. I took the knife apart, cleaned it up, and relubed it. Works better, not as smooth as some of the other Spyderco knives I have. I'm find with it though. Great knife overall. Not sure why so many people dislike the color.

Actually,what I found were fine metal particles(maybe even some fine G-10 dust) and a whole lot of brass bristles between the liners and the G-10 handle.
 
Thats a shame Razor, I've never really had a problem with the quality of Spyderco products. I'm sure Spyderco will do something about it if you send it back in.
 
There's no need to send it back but I have to warn it is more difficult to reassembly compared to the FRN endura.The tolerance is much tighter.

I want to state, the only other knife that I own that had fine metal dust within it's handle was a Boker Plus fixed blade which was made in China.
