And I must say that I'm impressed with it! The Wave feature is taking some getting used to, because after carrying Spydies for twelve years, my thumb naturally seeks out the opening hole before I even think about it.
Love the dark blue FRN scales, too!
Any chance of a CE or SE version sometime in the future? :D

Got my waved E4 Today...
"Let a man never stir on his road a step
without his weapons of war;
for unsure is the knowing when need shall arise
of a spear on the way without."

I have the waved E4 as well. I also have an Emerson CQC-14. That is the new snubby with the wave. I keep thinking about doing a comparison of the two in order to show by preference, but it seems like the summer is getting away from me. Long story short, I really like them both. The Spyderco was perfect right out of the box. The Emerson took some time to break in, but it is now just about perfect.

Great knife, isn't it? I bought one last week (Endura 4 wave FRN). 6 months ago I looked at an Endura at a knife shop and it was way too much knife...now it's perfect...guess that means I've reached a higher level of knife consciousness since then...? :rolleyes: :D

I really would like to get one of these knives if only for the color. I have never acutally used a "Wave" knife. I understand the concept and I have held an Emerson and played with it but never pulled one from the pocket.
I bet it's fun. :)

I tried it a few times this evening, and I have to say it IS a pretty neat concept. Takes a little getting used to, but I like it.
I'm diggin' on the blade shape, too. The "ghetto practical" side of me is thinking that, with just a little modification, the wave notch would make a nifty beer bottle opener...

In a pinch, the wave notch makes a great bottle opener. Tried it over this past weekend, and it worked really well!doubleclaw wrote:

"Too many was too many, but way too many was just right."
I recently acquired a Delica Wave and tried to see how it opens when being pulled out of your pocket. I managed get the knife halfway opened until I learned to put some pressure towards the back as you're pulling the knife out so the wave hook can open the blade completely. Works great. Your knife is ready and open right out of the pocket. I may get the Endura Wave next.
