Some helpful info from Larrin at Knife Steel Nerds

That Vanadis 8 is looking pretty good…

It’s become my most carried Spyderco.
I can see why the Endela got the goldilocks nickname, It really is the perfect size.
My next Spyderco purchase will definitely be the k390 Endela.

It’ll be interesting to see what color handles they get.
I’d like to suggest Pine Green, or some other version of dark green

Shoot…

First it was the Cruwear Delica.
Then the Crucarta PM2.
Then it was the K390 Stretch.
Now it’s the DLT Cruwear Endela.

I wouldn't think the whole Seki factory needs told anything though lol.

I’d be more inclined to address the uneven bevels that most of my Seki knives have. Some of them are quite bad. Like, Benchmade bad.

That’s awesome to hear MC will make it to Seki knives!
I do hope it isn’t limited to Salt series. Imo, it deserves to see widespread model implementation (that includes Taiwan models too)

Good luck with your new knife. If you don’t connect with it, you should try the Endela.
As a Delica lover, it has become my new favorite Spyderco knife.

Double post, please delete

I’d go for the DLT Endela. I’m holding out for a Stretch, but gosh darn I like that Endela. How’s the TiCN coating and how’s the Seki City heat treat on Cru-Wear…? They probably make me less enthused about the Endela. But the price cannot be argued with, as has previously been discussed in this thr...

Magnacut Bow River
Magnacut Sprig
Magnacut Waterway

Or a new bushcraft/camping/outdoor fixed blade design, in Magnacut

I’d get the Endela. At that price it’s a no-brainer.
I just received mine in the mail, I like it MUCH more than I anticipated.

I’m surprised people dig that smooth G-10. .... I have no experience with smooth G10, but I think I would not like it on a Native. Said it before: In my particular hand the Native feels great when just holding it or in light cutting, but when grpping it harder and doing more higher-resistance cuts,...

Pics look nice, hope they do a Stretch 2 Version someday. That first Finger groove on the Delica/Endela/Endura doesn't agree with my hands. A Stretch version would be amazing. I'm a finger choil guy, so the stretch is a much better knife, ergonomically, for me, than the Delica/Endela/Endura family....

I love Spyderco, they get so much right. But if I had to nitpick: •On the knives I carry often- about every 6-8 months or so, I have to remove the clip and straighten it back out because it bent out. A deeper clip would be nice too. •I really, REALLY wish they would make course and fine CBN or Diamo...

I’m surprised people dig that smooth G-10. I got one of the smooth G-10 Cruwear para 3’s back when they came out. After the 3rd time dropping it and almost landing on my toe, it went straight back into the box and hasn’t been taken out since. I thought smooth titanium handles were slick, those smoot...

My parents let me carry a knife when I was 10.
Before that, I was only allowed to carry my boy scouts knife to scout meetings.
I was crazy about knives as a kid, so I got to use my dads before then. But I wasn’t allowed to have my own and carry it till I turned 10.

I’m hoping to see a new button lock model.

Getting the Protech Malibu was a huge eye-opener as to how good a properly executed bottom lock is. Imo, that lock is the future.

-Stretch 2 in Cruwear (non-xl)
-Delica Wharncliffe in Cruwear

The only 3 I seem to carry anymore:

-Stretch 2 k390
-PM 2 Cruwear micarta
-Cruwear Delica

Seems like I’m alone in this but… it’s sort of heartbreaking to see the Stretch XL get a Cruwear variant and not the regular(non-xl) Straight Spine Stretch. A Cruwear Straight Spine Stretch would be a Spyderco grail for me. I don’t know if seeing this should give me more hope or less for a non-XL Cr...
