Not a current pic, but it fits cause I just decided to give my rather new Pac Salt a break and grab my HAP40 Endura (Pac Salt will take over again at the latest when I am not in a more "urban enviopment" any more, but up in the mountains again)

Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)

Revisiting an old favorite is always fun. I was carrying my Pacific Salt pretty consistently through September and the first half of October. When I placed my order for a Police LW and pocketed my P4 G10 in anticipation, it felt like catching up with an old friend.

Great pair of working knives. Did you grind down the tip on that Delica to a pointier profile?

Well said! :)

I think what you´re describing is a big part of what makes one a "knife guy" (don´t know the correct female term in English, but sure I am including knife-loving women here too) or not.

I consider myself a rather rational, practical guy when it comes to knives in the context of this forum. I use and want to use all of my knives, I am not the type who buys "safe queens" just to have them in a collection (though that´s fine too of course, just not for me) and so on.

Knives are tools for me... On the one hand ;)

On the other hand: IF they really were JUST tools, from a rational point of view I´d only have one single Endura (and maybe a Chap as a small addition, but I already would not really NEED this one), and could perfectly do any knife task I can think of.

But that "catching up with an old friend"-thing you´re describing is just one of the not-so-rational and practical facets of enjoying knives that many people (NON knife guys) don´t understand.

After not having carried an old favorite for a longer period of time, it is just fun and enjoyment to rediscover what you like in that particular model, compare it to certain aspects of other models you like and so on.

As much as I currently begin to prefer SE over PE, it is even fun and interesting to go back from the SE blades of the Pac Salt and the serrated Endela I carried predominantely before the Pac Salt, to the PE blade of the Endura.
Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)
