Not to throw a wet blanket on things, but BROWN?!! There are so many other subtle color variations that could be used. I would like to have one, but I won't preorder one until I see the true color and by that time they will be sold out and I won't get one. So really, this post of mine doesn't amount ...

just throw a huge bid like 1k at the very end and youll probably get it for around 550.00, then again this could be very very bad advice, i do not recommend doing this i was kidding, unless you really really dont care about what you pay

Metal handled(scaled) knives; useful?

I've heard people say they don't like these knives(like the Lum) because they're slippery. What about the higher end metal handled knives like Sebenzas and William Henrys? I realize most people with oily hands aren't going to clean the cooling fins on a mower with a WH, but what about the Sebenzas ...

Deacon,
The Horn is probably the ONLY knife that I truly regret not buying. Hindsight. :(

Impressed with new Kiwi!

Always wanted a Kiwi but the price and the fact my hands are a little on the large side kept me from buying one. However, when Poor_fish put some carbon fiber ones up for $69.99 shipped I had to get one. The knife I got has custom level fit and finish and the ergonomics, even for my hands, are great ...

Considering there is sprint of the Matriarch planned in the near future I personally wouldn't pay much for it at all, probably around $70 if it was in good shape, I may be way off though.

I don't get out enough, when are these supposed to be available? Love that knife, I bought 3 when they were ...

If you live in a state that has concealed carry, why bother with a knife flopping around under your shirt?

Generally, I agree with Deacon; it's not a knife you just hand to a friend without warning. However, I have decided to order a couple of the different magnets to see if they will make this nice knife usable.

I have Spyderco Yojimbos and 1 of the "other ones". For carry, I like the size, shape and scale pattern of the other one. I think the Spyderco is higher quality, but the other one is more useful for my daily tasks. Personally, I'm getting tired of orange, brown and green G-10 and would like to see ...

If the grind is even on both sides and it's sharp, I would keep it unused as a collection piece, or make it a user. I had this happen to me once, so I know how you feel.

Spydieguys/USN Endura on Ebay

I noticed they are selling a couple of these knives and each ad says only one available and the run(THAT RUN) is sold out. Well, if they have 2 for sale then they must have more than 1 and apparently they don't know Spyderco has a second run in and they have them for sale. The bidders must be out of ...

Ordered mine the second they went on sale this morning. I can't wait to try out the Emerson Wave feature. Also threw in a ZDP Mule to push me past the $75 requirement for free shipping.

Just got my shipping confirmation, so it should be here early next week! :D

If the Endura costs $119.95 ...
