This is probably old but in new condition remainder of old stock that was not sold for a long time.Thats my thinking because of the blade material being ATS-55.

Last gift I opened from the GF was a new G10 Endura, Xmas got about 10x better at that very moment :D . Also got a gps, man those things rock!!!

zdp Lum & Lava in the mail today! :D

Both are perfect!

I got Native4 from my coworkers.

"Girlfriends" are far more giving than wives!!!

My wife didn't buy me any knives, but she gave me money to buy quite a few:
Turquoise Kopa, Khalsa, Jigged Bone Kopa, two Calypsos with matching numbers, Blue Bone Kopa and many more :)

How close in similarity is the endura to the pacific salt?

After working 72 hrs a week for 3 months, I felt entitled to getting myself a few gifts. (Told the wife / family not to bother with me on x-mas this year)

The surprise is how much I like the Poliwog. Only improvement would be lower blade jimping. :D

Santa didn't give me one so I'll have to buy one for myself.

I got my christmas gift from my friend last night and it was a NIB C84P Karambit, still in plastic baggy and with plastic still on the handles.

I opened that one to find something that was wrapped up. I unwrapped it to find a grey Spyderco box with Delica CF on one end. I slid open the box to find a Delica 4 that had come from Santa Fe Stoneworks. I'm not sure what the onlay is, but it is gorgeous. I'll have to post some pics when I get a chance.

Who else got a Spyderco or few for X'mas?

You have peaked my curiosity.

My girlfriend got me a Sharpmaker! After i got off work i spent the rest of the day sharpening everything! She stopped me when i got to the corners of the coffee table though (they didn't have that on the dvd either :confused :)

My Chinese Folder in ZDP-189 arrived on December 24. It was ordered in August 2008 and thanks to Knifecenter arrived just in time for Christmas.

I got myself a Tenacious and it arrived on the 23rd but gave it to my neighbor on Christmas Day. I was very impressed with it, so much so that im going to get another one and use it as my work EDC.

Im also going to get a FG para for myself. :spyder: :spyder:

Marry Christmas and Happy New Year everyone!

Will take some pics of both and post it this evening.
Major features...
Pacific Salt: Blade of H-1 steel (does not rust). My one has full SE. Blade is hollow ground drop point. Handle is Yellow FRN.

Endura: Blade VG-10. My one has PE hollow ground blade drop point. Handle black FRN.

Blade length is pretty similar (approx 95mm)

In a nutshell... very similar knives. Major difference is that the pacific salt will not rust due to the H-1 steel.

maybe this helps


I'd also mention that the 14mm hole on the Pacific generates more 'hump' on the blade, thus a steeper thump ramp - not hard to get used to, but still a little uncomfortable in the beginning, at least for me

IIRC,

Both the Endura and the Pacific Salt are Flat-Saber ground.

But I might be wrong.


Thanks

EDIT

Heres another pic

I stole this photo from yablanowitz. (Sorry yab)



(i might be wrong) but i think those are:
1st Gen SE Endura
3rd Gen PE Endura
PE Pacific Salt - Latest version with the small jimping and the H1 logo
4th Generation Endura4, British Racing Green with ZDP-189 steel
Foliage green G10 Flat Ground Endura

I am unsure of the second one from the top. The lack of david boyle dent is throwing my brain off.
