K390 Endura?

#1

Post by Doc Dan »

The Endura is one of my favorite designs. It is more size efficient than the Military, but only loses a negligible amount of blade in comparison. If K390 was a good idea in the slim Police 4, it would be a great idea in the Endura, which has the same blade thickness. As for the K390, I am really enjoying this steel. A marriage of the two would be pretty great.

Any comments?

Only that it's a great idea. The Endura is a fantastic design and I think the blade geometry would be perfect for K390. You may have just envisioned my new dream knife. Now if we can just get Sal and the gang on board.
Do right always. It will give you satisfaction in life.

I held a FRN version of the Police 4 at the OKCA show in April (and a Zome colored one at that IIRC), so that might satisfy the hunger for a K390 Endura possibly? :)

Sanctified Fecal matter! An FRN K390 Police! I will take one.

I really would like to see the Endura FRN with K390 as it is more size efficient.

Endura and an A11 class super steel. I'm in for at least 2. Without hesitation. If Sal and the Spyderco team can manage the logistics of it and get it done we are set. No doubt in my mind it would sell out.

FRN Police? Very interested. Never actually held one of the Police models, but I'd like to have a larger knife and I've spent a lot of time staring longingly at pictures of the Police online. And FRN is my preferred handle material...

If it comes with DLC coating, it'll be an instabuy.

The Police is interesting. But I would still prefer an Endura as it is more practical for EDC. K390 in an Endura would be a perfect match.

I will probably pass on the Endura but you can put me down for a Delica4, Stretch2 and a Police4. Can we expect the Police4 in frn to be included in the future Seki sprint runs? :D

I see there is interest apart from my demented self. Perhaps Sal will chime in?
