Edc The Endura4
do you think the E4 is just that bit on the big side for edc,or does this one suit your edc needs fine?
I EDC an E4 Wave SE (along with several other :spyder: s). It's got enough edge to handle a wide variety of tasks, and you don't really notice it in your pocket until you need it.
The E4 may not be the best choice for use around NKPs, but, otherwise, it makes a very nice EDC.

I'm an admirer of Spyderco's designs. Using them is like immersing yourself in music or studying a painting in a museum. I buy some "fine" art but my preference is for usable art.

......for me, because of it's slim handle design and light weight, the Endura is one of my preferred EDC's. However, on the days I carry it I tend to pair it with a smaller slip joint for versatility. The Endura was my first Spyderco, nearly 25 years ago, and today, if I were to have to choose just one Spydie ( heaven forbid ! :) ).....the Endura would win every time. I know it's not the right choice for everyone, but it works for me. There's just something about the handle design, blade shape and size, and weight that I really like. I find it to be a very effective tool. Mine's been a real "workhorse".

That all depends on where you live and what you're used too.
I wouldn't mind a 4.5" Endura myself. :D
Agreed!!! also depends what you are using it for. For legal reasons i carry smaller knives, ie Delica or my new fav the Sage. My usual uses are very light duty.
When I'm out in the wilderness then i carry my much larger Stretch.

In the end, the only thing that really matters is whether YOU think it's too big for YOU to EDC. There are folks here who EDC the Military and would consider the Endura puny. There are others who'd consider a Delica "too big" for their tastes. I've reached the point where I want the most blade I can comfortably carry. The key word there is comfortably. I carry my knives loose in my back pocket, so they have to be short enough when closed to ride horizontally in the bottom of that pocket. The Endura is a bit too big for that, the Stretch and Schempp Persian, just right. But, if your carry method is different, the extra quarter inch of blade the Endura offers might well be worth having. I cannot remember a single occasion where I thought "Gee, this job would be a whole lot easier if I had a smaller knife".

The Delica used to be the "perfect size" for me. After using the Endura for a little while (taking down about 7 boxes), the Delica became the "mini knife," and the Endura became the "perfect size." :o
Im not good at sharpening, even with a sharpmaker. How get your blade good can your blade with an edge pro system? - Bladeforums user

I tend to edc my caly III, I think the Endura is a little bit too big and, frankly, I don't like the grind. I prefer, for some strange reason, to have a PE for EDC, but for my hardcore worker I use an SE (usually my Millie, but before that, it was an E3).

Just right !
Manixworld , I warn you , if you buy one , more will come to add to the fun . MG2
I've carried my one of my enduras every day for probably 2 years now and love it.
Endura ZDP-189 CE | Endura Wave CE | Salt 1 PE | Centofante 3 PE | Tenacious PE | Tenacious SE | MT02 Second | MT03 | JD Smith | Caly 3 ZDP-189 CF | Bill Moran | Military | Tasman PE | Stretch 2 CF | Endura | Delica | Dragon Fly
My every day carry for the past 10 years has been my SpyderEdge Endura. I have since added a Spyderench and my brand new Captain. The Endura has never let me down, and never left me wanting anything else. It fits in the hand perfectly, its edge is pure utility.
Oh, and to make my EDC even more fun, I also carry a Leatherman Supertool 200 with driver attachment and a selection of bits, my 2AA Maglight flashlight and my Iphone. My pockets/belt are full, but I always have the tools I need, no matter the situation.

I frequently carry my Krein'd ZDP Endura and my CE Endura Wave. The size is good for EDC, if not slightly small for me. For perspective, I find the Delica to be entirely too small, and the Manix to be pleasantly --yet sveltely-- chunky. Oh, and I carry the Manix in dress slacks without any trouble. Heck, I don't even notice it.
God Bless Texas!

I carry a serrated Endura 3. It works great. I would love to get an Endura 4, but spending extra money isn't in the cards right now...
Actually, I've really wanted an Atlantic Salt, though since I'm not planning on buying much too soon, maybe I'll wait until the rescue gets the Endura/Delica 4 handle treatment. That would be awesome. I really like the sheepsfoot blades that I've had a chance to use.
