So far, I have the following Enduras:

2 stainless PE E II's(1 NIB, 1 over 10 years old, and still goin' strong)
2 FRN CE E II's(1 NIB)
1 Clipit PE Endura
1 E4 Wave
1 E4 FG CE

And I just got a stainless E II CE from John F. Jensen today(WOOHOO).

ACK! My bad; I just found the listing for the Tan Endura. Sent an email, so hopefully they'll still have a couple!

They had three left under the counter, and one display model. I ordered the reamining three, because I am a greedy sumabeesh :D

I've been looking for these tan Enduras for a couple of years now, and thanks to Tonydahose, I have filled a very big hole in my collection!

Jeez, I've really got the fever this month(and my wife is going to KILL me! :eek: ), because I just ordered a FG D2 Military to go with my CF S30V Millie, and now I put in another order for three more Enduras. I'll tell her that it's an investment, not a hobby...yeah, that's it...

I need a second job! :rolleyes:

Mike,

Bet your having fun comparing the two...seems the II vs. III has generated a lot of talk on these boards in the past...I bought the III a while back...what a sturdy knife! :D

Hey Spyderdog ,

The full sized Persian is one of my most beautiful knives. It photographs very well, highly photogenic ! :D And it is a very sharp slicer, with the most curvaceous belly almost as full as the Chinook. The curves seem to fit in the hand very well in just about any grip.

Congratulations, hope you enjoy it very much :p

Cheers
Dan

Dan, I'll have to agree already. The Persian is a great looking knife, and it feels great in the hand. The curves in the handle seem to fit my hand perfectly. Great looking blade shape as well.

T-Mag
Endura 4 PE FRN (2)

The T-Mag I haven't seen or handled before. The reviews are mixed but I love the look of the blade. I haven't been disappointed with any Spyderco to date so I have good expectations for this one.

The Endura was one that I passed on many times since I have Delicas and Police. The Endura looks **** close to the Police in size. My Delicas are CF or stainless steel and recently picked up a FRN. I loved it so I'll try a pair of FRN Enduras.

***UPDATE***

I received the T-Mag later today! The knife is quite different from your typical Spyderco. Feels good in your hand. The blade swings out without much effort. You can literally flick your wrist and the blade flies out and sticks to the magnet. Just as fast as a switchblade! I mean it's the easiest Spyderco to open. I love this knife. Just keep in mind there's no lock so the blade will come free with some pressure on top of the blade. May not be the perfect knife for some but I do like it. I may pick up another.

The Enduras are great. Close to an FRN version of the Police knife.
