Custom level thin grind and a choil. I'd like it with a pointier tip also but they changed that for a reason.

How about a bushing pivot? Maybe not be absolutely necessary and adds to the cost but it does make the action better and easier to work with.

I wish the SE Endura had about a 1/2 inch PE like the SE Native. I would prefer wire clips on every knife I ever own. On the Delica I find the FFG too **** thin. If the spine thickness could stay the same as a saber but still be FFG, I would like it. The FFG Enduras are about perfect but I would like to see the G10 return. I also like the blade shape of the Emerson opener E4 with the wave hook bobbed...

On the Delica, a high flat grind, not full, to make it stronger. The Endura is thick enough.

Give them both jimped choils and for the Endura bring back the larger belly that came on the G10 version.

Lower the hump for the deployment hole. It still sticks up too far for me. Wire clip. Wharncliffe would be nice. Love the FFG.

:D How'd I know you were gonna say something like this? :p I was gonna say the only way to make them better would be to just use them more, but they'd have to fight my 3.5 and would end up loosing :D Agree with others, a wire clip would be an improvement.

Better still, don't add jimping at all, and pass the savings on to us. :D

Maybe Spyderco should split the Endura up into two tiers like they do some of their other models. Offer a G10 version with a higher end steel like S30V or CPM 154, and bump the steel down with the price on the FRN models. Like keep the FRN one in Japan and make a higher end one somewhere else.

I'd say make the lock on the endura stronger. A little push with the forehand on the top of the blade and the lock fail. I'd say 4-5 lbs max. I love my military and use it more simply because of how the lock is strong even thought I prefer way better the endura size, ergo and zdp.
If it's not polished, call it a saw, not an edge!
