enough with the endura!!!

[jujigatame]

Well diver15, it strikes me that the Endura isn't the real problem, it was probably just the first model you could think of that you felt was emblematic of your frustration.

So if it's okay to set the frustration and ranting aside for a moment, I'll ask what I see as the pertinent question - if what you're currently seeing from Spyderco is not meeting your threshold of being new and unique then what would you like to see them make?

give us somthing besides the endura!

How right you are my bright little star and I am with you.

After all, how much better can they get, huh?

I am only going to buy the next 7-8 permutations of the Endura and that is it! Well, unless I happen to live longer and, with one wheel already in the ditch, I can't expect to see #9 or #10 anyway.

Just because Spyderco makes the knives I admire, marvel at and lust after who do they think they are? Diver15 could not be more right. If they, Spyderco, wants to see more of my money they are going to have to miracle their product line and not just improve it in absolutely fabulous ways. Sheech.

And, just what is holding up the development of the solar-powered Endura where the slice cuts itself?

id buy it too, hope they are listening at spyderco, im sure it would look cooler than the whitey

:spyder: :spyder: :cool: :spyder: :spyder: I'd buy one too :D

[Agent Starling]

this has been buging me for a while, instead of making new or uniqu knives spyderco seems to be using the same model over and over again (like the endura) and just changing the handle material, this happens with alot of other models to, i dont want a blue endura to carry on mondays and thursdays and a white one to carry on tuesdays and wednesdays. i want somthing new and uniqu. if you have to you can go back into the archievs and bring out some of the extinct models but at least give us somthing besides the endura!

diver 15,
Whew! Bet you were glad to get that off your chest!

My opinion: Enduras (and Delicas) are likely the two knives in the lineup that have the most "mass appeal"...so that those who are turned off by Spyderco's "fugly" designs (as I've heard them called!) will buy one of these, realize that Spyderco quality is top-notch, and will then venture into other products in the Spyderco line.

As for the many variations that you so dismay? Stick around awhile and you'll see there are plenty of us around who will collect every possible variation of a beloved knife that's out there! Crazy, I know!

I wasn't able to see what was special about the Endura and Delica at first, but now have several Enduras and a couple Delicas, and it won't stop there, I can assure you...YMMV

Hope that shed a little bit of light on the subject! :D

i love the endura. Please Please keep making more variations. The endura will always be my regular day EDC. I want to see more variations, more blade metals, more scale materials, more clip designs, different wave designs, more tools added like the glock tool. Keep it going!

I disagree. He's just giving his opinion. No harm in that.

[Murdoc]

Well, "trollish" may be that after 4 pages of replies, he didn't come up with a single post to comment them :D

...maybe his computer got broken?

and regarding his concern: I'm sure it is easier to change the color of the FRN to white (which lots of us will buy cause it looks kinda cool..did you notice all the new cars presented in white lately?) than creating something like the Sage or the Barong or even (or should I say particularly?) the Tenacious.

Well, all of them are (about to be) available, too. So, no problem there.

Did I mention that a FRN VG10 FFG ENDURA would be a cool variant? :D

nah...he has other posts and a new thread too IIRC... i think he is just hoping this goes away quietly. :p i have made a few posts i wish i could have taken back...mostly on BF thankfully.

If I get 4 pages of replies and none agree with me, I quietly leave the thread alone... Unless it is something that is worth debating. Picking your battles is sometimes a smart thing. (Just my opinion) :)

[Manix Guy 2]

Your post is rather sad and limited , where have you been to say this , bunch of great knives available . MG2

[RIOT]

diver posted a new thread and never came back, im almost thinking he isnt a spderco carrier

[Fred Sanford]

Gonna have to disagree diver.

The Delica and Endura (as stated already) are a lot of the bread and butter for Spyderco. I don't think they are doing anything wrong with the variations here. They have a TON of knives available to us and in addition to that they ask what we want, and then give it to us. You really can't ask for much more than that. There is not another company in this market (other than Kershaw to an extent) that does this.

[philthygeezer]

Somehow, I wound up with 3 Enduras. :D

The Caly 3 is going the same way for me...

Just pinged NGK over the weekend for a new E4. I can't wait for it to arrive. The honeymoon isn't over yet.

Blasphemy!

[messer454]

I have said it before and I will say it again..........Long live the Endura!!! And I still don't have a Blue one for Mondays and an Orange one for hunting season.........YET!

[dialex]

I already have both the Delica and the Endura, and in several variations, yet I'd be very dissapointed if Spyderco would discontinue them. As long as they are available you can abuse them knowing that you can always have a replacement
