Steel handled Spyderco knives offer several specific benefits. They make excellent hard-use knives by virtue of their heft and solidity and also offer a surface for custom engraving and Embellishment. The Spyderco C10 Endura has a modified skinning-style blade, laser cut out of AUS-6 high carbon steel. Two sets of pre-drilled holes allow the metal clip to be positioned for a tip up or tip down carry. The knife blade is hollow ground. A David Boye Dent has been added to the locking lever.
