The Spyderco Endura 4 Lightweight C10ZFPGR delivers premium cutting performance in an ultra-portable package that weighs just 3.2 ounces. This folding knife combines VG-10 stainless steel blade technology with advanced FRN handle construction for serious cutting tasks. The distinctive Zome Green finish provides enhanced grip texture while maintaining professional appearance standards.
What Makes This Different
VG-10 stainless steel sets this knife apart from standard 8Cr13MoV alternatives found in most folding knives. The steel maintains a sharp edge 40% longer than conventional stainless alloys while offering superior corrosion resistance. Bi-directional texturing on the FRN handle creates secure grip in wet conditions without adding bulk or weight.

Field testing demonstrates consistent cutting performance across rope, cardboard, and food preparation tasks.
