The teeth look so nice and uniform throughout the blade length. The Endura’s box says it was manufactured in Japan in July 2022.

These K390 SpyderEdge have been a very long time coming since they were revealed in January 2021. Now, I’m hoping the Endura is joined by the Delica and Endela very soon.

I just ordered one from DLT Trading. I debated between plain edge k390, serrated k390, and a pacific salt 2 h1

I received mine today and I’m impressed!

I’ve really grown to enjoy the endura 4 and can’t seem to carry anything else over the last several months.

I’m looking forward to trying out K390 and a serrated edge in a supersteel. What I really like, first impression, is how far the serrations go to the tip. They are smaller than on my PS2 and this allows them to take up more space on the edge.

I planned on touching up on the fine and ultra fine sm stones but this thing is so sharp I didn’t even feel the need to strop it. Talk about a pocket chainsaw!

I opened up some blister packs tonight and did a push type cut with the first serration closest to the handle and the knife just sailed right through.

The pivot was a little tighter than I would like but it’s already loosening up. The handle color is also nice. A unique color that is more interesting than plain Jane black but not so much contrast to draw attention. This one is very well executed. I’m debating getting a second one now.

I actually would prefer a little more plain edge towards the tip. I find combo edge most useful, but something like a 1/3 plain edge would be nice

You can have a little more plain edge at the tip with the Police 4 LW K390 SE. More blade length, edge length, thinner blade stock, and finger choil to choke up on if you need to with the Police 4. IDK. At least for me, I am not sure what the attraction is of an Endura over the P4, unless maybe size is an issue.

For me, I enjoy the e4 handle better than the police. I like the location of the “bump”s on the e4 and the blade length is long enough for what I need out of a folder. If blade length was a bigger priority to me then I would look into the police but I don’t prefer the more neutral handle. I’m also finding out I like the Boyd dent on the e4 as it’s more intuitive for me to unlock.

I don't even live in a state with size restrictions and the P4 is just over-the-top way too big for me.

The police 4 is just comically huge. I'm already known as the "knife guy" and having a monster like that in my pocket would just be ridiculous. The endura is plenty enough and very ergonomic

I guess we will have to agree to disagree. The P4 is larger and as I said, may be too large for many. However, it has other attributes that IMHO make it better than the Endura if its size is not an issue. To each his own.

The blade stock is thinner on a Police 4? I thought the Police and Endura both used the same 3mm blade stock.

I like both and a big fan of Police models as others and consider it iconic and a very useful knife . MG2

Endura 4 is 3mm and Police 4 is 2.8mm. This surprised me as well.
