I've had both the Endura and the Delica on pre-order at Knifecenter. Never got notified for the Endura and haven't yet for the Delica. I'm starting to think the whole Pre-Order thing is totally bogus.
EDC Everything! Our knives are TOOLS, not 'Objects d'art'. A 'Safe Queen' is an implied insult to the designer/manufacturer.

I don't believe all the knifes have been released as the ones that have shown up have vanished in a blink of an eye.May bee a call to Spyderco will get some answers?

When I was asking this question during the slow release of the Endura sprint, two sources said that Sprints from Seki are typically shipped in small batches.


A note to people who ordered from Howe's, Howe's site says they are getting 10 in Friday and showed stock yesterday. When I ordered my Super Blue Endura from them a couple of months ago it took almost a week to ship. It is possible that they are selling as pre-order the things that they know are coming in the mail. It could be Friday, Saturday or Monday until we see the Delicas ship.

Without actually calling Howe's, I believe this to be true. I had the same experience ordering my SB Endura.

BHQ has some SB Enduras in stock this morning. I couldn't use the overload-the-cart trick to find out how many, because the dropdown only allowed 1 to 4.
K-390 on hand: Mule Team 17, Police 4 G-10, Endela (burlap micarta), Endela backup, Endura (canvas micarta), Straight Stretch (now blade-swapped with G-10 Stretch), Delica Wharncliffe, Dragonfly Wharncliffe, & Dragonfly Wharncliffe shorty mod
Note to self: Less is more.

Hi Blerv,

As Donut suggested, they trickle in and trickle out at the rate of about 200 pcs per month until the run is complete.

Just got their email and grabbed one. Then came here to spread the word, but I see that's already happened.

OutfitterCountry on ebay has endura and delica super blue in stock at competive prices with free shipping. I just picked up one of each so the hunt is over. I am not affiliated with them in any way.
