Endela variants? G10 or color frn w/ Black blade.....
Hey all,
Has anybody heard plans for a black bladed endela or a g10 version? Really dig the size and knife overall but I’d prefer a coated blade and or something other than frn...
Whatcha say Sal?? :cool: :D

Re: Endela variants? G10/Black blade.....
I have little doubt (like, zero) that it's only a matter of time before we see exclusives of these new models like Endela, Native Chief, Para3LW... As to your question, DLC and G-10 seem to be somewhat rare on the Endura's and Delica's (not that it hasn't been done, just not too often), although maybe that will change with the Endela? I know there was the recent St Nicks red G-10 Delica with a DLC blade. Maybe one day the Endela could get that treatment!
My collection so far: 52100 Military (2); 52100 PM2 (2); 52100 Para3; Stretch2 V-Toku; KnifeWorks M4 PM2; BentoBox M390 PM2; BentoBox S90V Military; Police4 K390; S110V PM2; SS Delica AUS-6; Wayne Goddard Sprint VG-10
Wish list: Hundred Pacer; Sliverax; Mantra; 52100 PM2 SE; Kapara

I would be happy with frn in more colors.
Whenever there is any doubt, there is no doubt.

+1, I want blue for my PE model (already have SE in of course black FRN)
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)

Re: Endela variants? G10/Black blade.....
I’d be surprised to see a G10 after being introduced in FRN. That is, unless there is an Endela2 that includes a change in the handle. The Stretch2 did debut in G10.
Unit-cost of FRN diminishes with numbers sold, G10 remains the same and thus costlier in the long-term.

I'm sure we'll see frn sprints and colors eventually. The model looks like a hit that really filled a needed spot in the lineup.
I'm not optimistic about a g10 version unless a vendor commissions an exclusive. Seki g10 prices have gotten pretty high, so I'm guessing It wouldn't make great business sense.

Hi SpyderHS08,
I've backed off on making Pilot runs in G-10 in Japan as the high cost really affects sales as a new model. I learnred that with the Lil' Temperance, D'Allara and the Police 4. That's why the Endela was intro'ed in FRN. If someone wants an exclusive in G-10 after the model has been accepted, then w'ell do it.

Re: Endela variants? G10/Black blade.....
Thanks for the response Sal! That is definitely a reasonable offer/choice coming from you. I get it, but hopefully st nicks or someone will take you up on a g10 model. I’d love it! If not dare I purchase aftermarket scales.....sal wrote: ↑Sat Sep 07, 2019 11:54 pmHi SpyderHS08,

Re: Endela variants? G10/Black blade.....
Bump! Any black bladed frn models in the works Sal??
Re: Endela variants? G10/Black blade.....
Unfortunately not likely to see G10 in many Seki city models. Sal has said in other threads that the cost of shipping G10 to Seki, and the cost of production makes them more expensive than most users are willing to pay. It may not be out of the question, but for now that is what we have to go by from Sal himselfspyderHS08 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 07, 2019 1:43 amHey all,

Re: Endela variants? G10/Black blade.....
I'm waiting for Cruwear, GITD, or K390.
CRU-CARTA THE SEKI MODELS! AND BRING US THE DODO-FLY!
Re: Endela variants? G10/Black blade.....
K390 will be an insta buy for me. And a wharncliffe variation would be amazing too! :D

Re: Endela variants? G10/Black blade.....
I will probably buy a K390 endela

Re: Endela variants? G10/Black blade.....
^This also...another insta buy. Likely two of each. Sprint runs in the Endela (especially Wharncliffe version) would fly off the shelf. I know I would do my part.
