I own dozens of knives, maybe even approaching a couple of hundred, if I was to count. Most of them have been acquired relatively recently, but two of them Spydercos, I have had and used for many years. Despite owning much newer and some might argue nicer knives, the one that I grab, my go-to for in the yard or tougher duty, is an Endura Clipit that I acquired back in 1990 or early 1991. I've carried and used that knife for close to 20 years and its Seki City steel has yet to dull to the point where I would see the need to sharpen it. It's fully serrated and yesterday it cut through bags of mulch and trimmed branches like it was new out of the box and as solid as a rock. It's an old friend that has served me so well.

While Spyderco wouldn't be the first knife that I would mention when talking about knives (despite owning a Copilot, Persistence and Native3 that I think are great), but that doggone Endura Clipit has been the one that I have turned to for two decades. That certainly says a lot to me, a knife that is used that continues to serve.

Thanks Spyderco.

I have a couple of those only in plain edge, nice knives for sure. I have a couple of
gen 1 delica's as well and they are equally as nice! Love that serrated one you have!
 
I got mine in 95,it became my main usser\edc for Eveything.Army,trail,city, even
food prep for outdoor catering.I have "better" ,newer and more expensive knives
but the Endura1 still ends up in my pocket,when out in the field.For city use I now carry
a Terazuola slipit,or sak due to legal reasons(I go through a lot of metal detectors).
I have used and abused it but it is still going strong.
 
I found a fully serrated endura clipit seki in a couch I bought at a thrift store, I used and abused that poor knife for 10 years or better.
I lost it in a move a few years ago and have yet to find any other knife as serviceable.

Maybe in a few years some guy will post:
"the dude that moved out of my apartment left behind this awesome knife that I've been abusing for the past 10 years."
 
The Endura design worked for me. Been carrying one of these two since they came out.
