I emailed a well known retailer a couple weeks ago about Dodo availability. Last night, I received a email saying they received 2, and one of them had my name on it if I was still interested. It's in the mail today....

My box says C10SBK Endura 11/3/03, and Lightweight in small lettering below the date.

The label is yellow.

It is a all pinned construction, unlike the Endura 4 I have.

Been carrying a Chinook II the last couple days. There is an Endura 4, a BM 950 Rift, and a BM 5000 in the rotation as well.

Endura 3 Lightweight?

I picked up a Endura 3 from Spydieguys. The box is marked 11/3/03 and 'Lightweight' below it. I had it advertised when a gentleman asked if it was marked 'lightweight' on the handle. It isn't.

Did Spyderco mark lightweight on the the lightweight Enduras? Do I have a Endura with the wrong box, or is ...

I was in the same ballpark not too long ago. I ended up with an Endura 3 serrated. I week or so later, I had a chance at an Endura 4, and bought it. I much prefer the Endura 4, as the scales feel better, and it fits in the hand a little better.

I can't say anything about the Delica, or the others ...

Thanks everyone for their input.

The seller couldn't give me a refund of the purchase price, due to the fact he spent the proceeds of the sale on rent. He did offer a $25 refund, albeit with a little persuasion from me. I was not happy, but at that point, I was just peeing into the wind if you know ...

Here is another picture. I don't think I am capable of taking a better one.

The area in between the jimping shows lots of tool marks. I wonder, if it is a second, if that is why. You can kind of see it in the pic.

Factory second question, picture added

I picked up a Chinook II from a seller on another forum. It arrived today, and I am not very happy.

A Side from the dirty scales, the action of the knife is terrible. It opens fine, but it won't close by itself like all the Spydercos I have had or handled You have to actually push it closed. Upon ...
