Custom level thin grind and a choil. I'd like it with a pointier tip also but they changed that for a reason.Blerv wrote:Give them the Stretch treatment :) .
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...

: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.RanCoWeAla wrote:Discontinue them and make more variations of he Caly 3.5

Bring back G10 models. The FRN makes me want to punch a baby.
Spyderco Knives (in order of obtainment):
-Tenacious, Combo edge
-Tasman Salt, PE
-Persistence Blue, PE
-Pacific Salt, Black, PE
-Delica 4, Emerson Grey
-DiAlex Junior
-Byrd SS Crossbill, PE
-Endura 4 Emerson Grey
-Byrd Meadowlark 2 FRN, PE
-Resilience
-Tenacious, Combo edge
-Tasman Salt, PE
-Persistence Blue, PE
-Pacific Salt, Black, PE
-Delica 4, Emerson Grey
-DiAlex Junior
-Byrd SS Crossbill, PE
-Endura 4 Emerson Grey
-Byrd Meadowlark 2 FRN, PE
-Resilience
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.Officer Gigglez wrote:Bring back G10 models. The FRN makes me want to punch a baby.

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!
