I really like the Endela so far. Will definitely buy a sprint, Superblue please. Also, there is no signature on the other side of the blade, just the typical Seki, Japan stamp.
Thanks for the comparison shots. It seems the Endela is worth a look because of the handle tweaks...@Vivi.

Yes, the ergos are great and hopefully Vivi and his giant hands will appreciate it. Definitely less pointy finger grooves. Endela feels like what the Endura 4 ergos have always wanted to be.

The Pacific Salt is my small knife. I have no interest in a smaller knife than that. The only reason I carry one is because there's no Police Salt.

This looks like a great design for folks that think the Endura is a little big! Between this and the Police 4 is seems like Sal is trying to mellow out the finger grooves to make more versatile handle shapes. I'm sure your hands will appreciate the Endela as much as mine appreciate the ergos of the P4.

Very observant Wartein.

I designed the handle with less pronounced "finger placement" due to the complaints that I'd received about the Endura by some that it didn't fit, and I wanted to avoid that issue. There is still enough to avoid the "rolling" of a "stick" handle, but it might be more comfortable for some people.

Thanks for responding Sal!
I received my Endela today, and couldn't be happier! Is there a good source that I will be able to access to keep up with future Endela releases? (New blade steels, sprint runs, etc.) I want to have them all, and I know that they will go extremely quickly, and want to have first shot at having a complete collection. I realize they are so new, that this may be tough to answer, but am pretty confident you guys have plans for the Endela's future.
Thanks in advance,
David
