Stretch VG-10 or Endura 4??
Stretch VG-10 or Endura 4??
Im wanting to get a bigger FRN spydie but i cant make up my mind. I owned an Endura 4 Wave but sold it and now im kinda wanting a larger FRN knife again. I cant decide on getting the Stretch or Endura. I love the look of the Stretch and its different than any other of my spydies, but the Endura is a little less expensive and i loved the weight and handle feel.
Both knifes will be used in a normal EDC role.
Thanks for the input guys! :spyder: Life

I will go against the flow here. I would go Endura since I like the blade shape better. If im going to be usingit everyday, I also want the design of the knife to appeal to my eye. Dont get me wrong, I like the Stretch, but prefer the blade of the Endura. Functonally, I gotta admit the Stretch handle is nicer, but I still vote for Endura.

You can't go wrong either way. I prefer a structured handle, and a 50'50 choil, so the Stretch gets my vote. I've carried one version of another over 80% of the time since the original SS/Kraton inlaid version came out a bit less than eight years ago. However, if you have really large hands, the FFG version of the Endura 4 may better serve your needs.

I voted for the Endura. I admit that I am biased towards the Endura as it was the knife that got me into Spydercos. I do own a Stretch though and while I like its handle ergonomics the Endura works better for EDC for me. Its slimmer shape feels better in my pocket and the longer handle allows me several different grip options if I need them.
I have both and like them both. The Endura 4 was my EDC for well over a year. That ended the day I got my Stretch. Although both are great blades, the Stretch ergos are so much better and feels so natural in my hand.

it looks like the comments here are about what i expected. im a choil fan so i think im leaning toward the stretch. also if a spydie i get is a little different than the ones i already have, it helps me mentally justify! :)
thanks for the comments guys, keep em commin
