Spyderco C243FPWCBK Endela Wharncliffe Lightweight

The Spyderco C243FPWCBK showcases the innovation the brand is renowned for, as it combines elements of the trailblazing Delica and Endura models. Since they were first introduced in 1990, these models have dominated our product line. These visionary designs have set the standards for lightweight, clip-carry, one-handed folding knives, bringing the use of fiberglass-reinforced nylon (FRN) to the forefront as a handle material. This exceptional material is light, durable, resistant to most chemicals and solvents, and customizable to exhibit a wide range of shapes, textures, and colors.

Since their maiden entry into the marketwork, the Delica and Endura Lightweights have been embraced by a global audience, securing a place among Spyderco's most sought-after models. These designs have undergone four iterations of enhancement, inspiring a wide range of variations in blade steels, grinds, edge configurations, and handle colors.

Although these knives have amassed a considerable fanbase among serious knife users, it is acknowledged that the ideal knife varies according to hand sizes, personal preferences, and local law stipulations on blade length. Following feedback from numerous Spyderco aficionados, a growing demand was revealed for a "middle-ground" knife. This knife would maintain the highlights of the Delica and Endura Lightweights but would be tailored to an intermediate size. We responded to this demand by creating the Endela, a unique blend of its successful predecessors.
