Spyderco Endela Thin Red Line Partially Serrated VG10 FRN Folder C243FPSBKRD

Sized to split the difference between the iconic Endura and Delica models, the Endela offers all the refined, time-tested features of both models in a "just right" size format. The fully flat ground blade offers excellent cutting performance for daily use with ambidextrous RoundHole opening. Skeletonized stainless liners and a sturdy back lock give this working knife a rugged build with lightweight yet durable, high traction FRN for a secure grip. This "Thin Red Line" edition honors the selfless and courageous service of firefighters and emergency first responders symbolized by red liners and back spacer along with the laser engraved motto "Save and Serve" on the blade. It comes with a flat ground, satin VG-10, partially serrated blade and black FRN scales. Brand new, direct from Spyderco Knives, Japan. Blade: Functional and time tested, the sub-3.5 inch modified drop point blade comes in a high performance full flat grind with versatile partially serrated cutting edge for handling a variety of cutting tasks with ease. SpyderEdge serrations increase the cutting edge surface by up to 24% and make short work of tough, fibrous materials. A rugged bronze washer pivot provides smooth operation via the ambidextrous RoundHole which delivers easy one hand operation. A jimped thumb ramp offers added traction for control in heavy and fine work. Handle: Black Bi-directional textured FRN provides exceptional traction in all conditions with an ergonomic design that delivers comfort in the hand until the job is done and over 4.5 inches of grip area. Bright red liners and spacer offer a subtle contrast while the sturdy mid-back lock delivers secure operation further enhanced by the Boye Dent on the lock bar which prevents accidental disengagement of the lock when gripping with heavy pressure. A hole at the pommel end allows for easy lanyard attachment. Carries via a 4-position, stainless steel hourglass pocket clip. Japanese VG10: VG-10 is a high-carbon stainless steel that takes a very good edge and holds it well. Popular with Japanese kitchen knife makers it is often hardened to 60-61 HRC. A popular choice for small pocket knives thanks to good edge holding and stain resistance, VG10 works well with a high polished, acute edge for optimal slicing performance. Spyderco donates a portion of all sales to the Wildland Firefighter Foundation which provides immediate financial and ongoing emotional support, advocacy, and recognition to fallen and injured wildland firefighters and their families.
