Spyderco Endela K390
The overall perception of the knife is very positive. The whole design and appearance speaks of a proven philosophy of creating knives as quality tools. Every detail has been thought through, from the carrying clip to the high-performance blade made of K390 steel, created using partial metallurgy technology. This steel has outstanding characteristics and will perform brilliantly in any task. At the same time it sharpens well and stays sharp for a long time. It is not prone to chipping. However, it is not a stainless steel and requires proper care or rules of use and storage. It is a reliable working steel that matches the entire construction of the knife.

Perfect Hard Use EDC
This is a great knife, a Goldilocks knife between the Delica and Endura. It’s a very sturdy knife with liners, perfect for hard use. K390 is also a tough high edge retention tool steel that is hard to beat. Hard to beat for the money.
