Spyderco Endura C10 1st Generation

The Spyderco Endura C10

The Spyderco Endura C10 one of Spyderco's most recognizable knives. It was first introduced in (and won Blade Magazine "Overall Knife Of The Year" in) 1990.

Since its inception, the Endura has gone through 4 major revisions. This is a vintage example of the original (first generation) version; some were manufactured with blades of GIN-1 steel, but this knife has a blade of AUS-8, which was more readily available and is still popular to this day.
The back-locking blade features the traditional Spyderco thumb hole for one-hand opening and has a fully serrated edge. The handle is made of DuPont Zytel with an integrated Zytel pocket clip.
This knife, purchased in 1996, is unused and has not been home-sharpened and is supplied in its original re-closable clam pack. A very rare knife, in original packaging all in excellent condition. It doesn't get much more collectible than this.

This is a Pre-owned knife from a private collection – new to the market. The photos form part of the detailed description, please examine them carefully.
