Wharncliffe Endura: Likely or not? Do you want?

[SpyderEdgeForever]

Who here aside from me would absolutely enjoy a Wharncliffe Endura? The Wharncliffe Delica is out and seems popular. Who's up for the Endura version?

[Tyrdle]

I'm not a huge fan of the endura but I think a wharnie would look nice. The wharncliffe delica looks very tall/stubby and I think on a longer blade it would look better.

I would buy a few if they're made with the endura 3 handle, especially if they used H1 blades :)

I love Wharncliffes and the Pacific Salt is already a popular EDC for me, wharncliffe version would really make it king of my pockets.

If they're made with the E4 handle I'd pass.

I would buy a wharnie Stretch 2..

Go to Stay Safe Media's website, they carry Mike Janich Enduras when they are in stock. Mike mods them himself

[holeshot]

I'd buy one.

[Joris Mo]

I'd get one but have to get the Delica's first..
Would also like to see a Native or Manix lw with wharncliffe blade, something with a choil.

[levs18]

I'd be in for one. If there is a waved version, I'd be in for 7.

[Jazz]

I'm really not sure on this one. Seems too long to be practical. Maybe I'll draw one so I can better visualize it.

[SG89]

I want a Janich Endura so bad

[Jazz]

OK, it's time to get serious again. Here's what it would look like...



... and beside a regular one for reference...



It might actually be a worthy blade after all.

Now that I see the jazz rendering I would be in for one. Doubly so in HAP40 or something else interesting.

[cehwalk]

I wouldn't mind a Wharncliffe Endura with a 14mm spydie hole at all..

i've yet to own an endura, the concept is interesting. since i've already given away my delica wharncliffe to a friend in need of one, i don't see why i wouldn't give it a go "to just see."

[Evil D]

I like it (because wharnie) but I still think the Stretch would be waaaaay better as a wharnie. The only thing the Endura has over the Stretch is a tad more blade but it also comes with a mile more handle because of it. The Stretch is a better design overall and a more compact design when folded without giving up much blade length by comparison. I also think the blade would look kinda cool if it kept the traditional Stretch curvy spine, it would kinda be like a huge Kiwi.

......I still think the Stretch would be waaaaay better as a wharnie......

first thing i thought of when i read that was a bm modified sheepsfoot griptillion, straighten that cutting edge a bit and.....

i know, i know, blasphemy, lol. too much coffee this morning, the senior mind is a terrible thing to waste. :)

I think your picture provides a very accurate representation of what it would look like...and I would buy one. Nice, I wish I could draw like you.

[HammerHill]

Eh, the Endura just isn't as good a knife as the Delica. I'd rather see a redesign than another line extension. Don't get me wrong - I love the size and the features but it needs some ergonomic tweaking to reach the greatness of the Delica IMO. Also, unlike more sinuous blade shapes I don't think wharncliffes benefit as much from extra blade length.

I thought I recalled reading somewhere that the Endura was going to be tweaked with the idea to update the Pacific Salt line, as with the recent switch to delica-style handles on the Tasman Salt?

A Stretch with wharncliffe would be great but it doesn't seem to be as popular as some of the other production models so it might not be as much of a commercial success.. But it would definitely be a cool try and I would get it for sure! :)
(or maybe just sprint all the FRN models with wharncliffes)

i personally would love a wharnie endura as the endura is my fave spydie platform for edc. i have a couple of delicas but keep passing them by because the endura is just so good.
