SpydercoC10FPNBD Endura KnifeJoy Exclusive KJ Steel Blue FRN Damascus Knife

Perfect for my collection.

I own several knives from spyderco, but this is my first damascus steel blade. It’s fabulous, I couldn’t be more impressed with the knife. I want one in every size

this is a very nice product. i would definitely recommend picking this up!

Buetiful Damascus style layering will certainly catch the eye and lend strength to the mid grade VG-10 steel of the regular Spyderco Endura model. I'd say more of a collectable or light duty carry because it's just too pretty to mess up! If you are looking for a Endura for med/heavy use go with one of the CPM super steels or CTS- BD1N if they offer it

I have one other Endura (the green one in ZDP-189. A prefect green for me) and could not pass up this particular blue for the handle so I bought this Knife Joy special addition. The cool clad blade is a bonus.So yes . . . every aspect of the blue handled Knife Joy version is just right :SharpNice pivot action; no play in any direction, drops a bit when I release the lock (did not have to adjust the pivot).The clip is stainless ( no black finish to get scraped up).Smooth in the hand (no flaws in the FRN plastic ) yet the classic Spyderco handle texture is grippy.This blue, IMO, is a perfect color for a modern knife.Can not go wrong with the Endura by Spyderco, it has been around in one version or another for thirty years for a reason.PS : the color is identical to the more recent Spyderco Para 3 with SPY-27 steel. That color they call "Cobalt". This Endura they call the color "Navy Blue". I have both knives; the color is the same. This "Navy Blue" is not as purple as the photo here on Amazon would lead one to believe. The actual color is more true blue with a touch of gray.

This is my third Spyderco EDC and about every 20+ years I put a new one into service as my everyday beater. My first one was a "Worker" model w/partial serration followed by a "Police" model w/full serration that is getting retired after a quarter century. I chose the "Endura" model with "FRN" scales mainly for the "Damascus" blade having wanted one for years now also, the weight difference (BIG) from the heavy full stainless Police! Yes, the blade pivot is very tight and will require break-in time but it's a brand-new tool out of the box. Otherwise, a stunning Spyderco tool/blade sharp as can be, so be careful. I'll get back to you as soon as I reverse the carry clip to the side I'm used to and diddle with it some more. (KnifeJoy also an attitude/appreciation of knives) UPDATE 1: just reversed the carry clip to the other side/other end for right hand carry/draw and adjusted pivot (YouTube Tutorials!!)- ahhhhhh perfecto! Love the lighter weight and grip texture of the FRN scales. UPDATE 2: Put a thumb stud (Emerson add-on) a signet ring and a deep carry clip on this knife and it works awesome. This is my first FRN scaled Spyderco and now prefer it over my solid stainless models for weight/grip/modification adaptions so old skool Spydie guys this is a new dawn of KnifeJoy!

A beautifully made blade combined with the grip of the standard endura makes for a nice edc. The original version made by Spyderco uses a titanium handle that is light and durable but lacks the grip you'd hope for when using a large folder. Steel inserts in the FRN handle keep everything feeling solid with only a slight give and it is reassuring that the handle is less likely to warp. As with all spyderco, easy to open and close one handed. 4 position option on clip lets me carry left handed like I prefer. I only wished that the clip came as a deep carry but the standard clip might be better if you wear pants with shallow pockets.

Wow really beautiful knife, better in person. I had been looking for a nice damascus blade for awhile. This is a real damascus steel. I also like that not very many made, which I got paperwork from Spyderco in box. Kiljoy was company I bought from, I highly recommend them. At first said it would take a week or more tto ship, I received in 3 days. This is more of a collector knife for me, I have other knives for work,edc. I don't think it would hold up to tasks, it's well built. I'd recommend
