Super Blue Endura... Coming Soon to a store near You!

[sal]

Hi RadioactiveSpyder,

Doitashimashte. Knives are forbidden to carry in Japan, though being a "historical blade culture", there are collectors.

When in Seki, which is a small town, I usually carry a Ladybug or Manbug, packages, flowers for my room, etc. but I do so knowing that I could get into trouble. In Seki though, meaning no harm and having a long history of working with the town, I doubt it would be a problem.

When in large cities, we don't carry knives.

Hey Sal, I though they could carry folders and fixed blades during hunting season?

Dealers must be getting these in small batches at a time. It's a 1200 run.

This appears to be the case. With a run of 1200, there should be plenty available.

Yes

I expect a bunch of pictures then. to hold me over for the Delica to drop.

got mine from the b&m and have cut an apple and some already grilled chicken and we shall see if we have patina tomorrow! F and F great and perfect grinds. The sandwich steel does come a little further down the blade than I thought it would. Hope all who want, get. My local store only got 2...

[WireEdge Roger]

Is there about a 1/2 inch of Super Blue exposed?

[twinboysdad]

I will also add that I gifted my orange Endura and sold my waved, so I had been Enduraless for a few years...what a waste. What a great stinking knife, big, light and thin. I guess full circle is better than still not knowing greatness? I will say this sprint has me Enduralusting for more...

[twinboysdad]

try about a 1/4 inch...

[WireEdge Roger]

Oh wow, way less than I would have guessed.

[DougC-3]

try about a 1/4 inch...

That's what I was expecting, same as my Caly 3.5 ZDP. I think it'll make for an interesting patina effect, for example, to have an even dark patina all along the edge. I'm not into fake hamon lines particularly, but this might look something like an inverted fake hamon :)

very visible line where the two steels meet?

Sold!

absolutely and should look good with patina. After Roger asked I went and measured the visable Superblue and it is slightly under a 1/4 inch but more than 1/8. Like I said, was hoping for a bit more. Add strawberries to the things cut for patina list!!

[GoodEyeSniper]

pics or ban!

:p

[twinboysdad]

pics or ban!

coming good sir! Patina has already begun. Probably throw them up tomorrow. Hoping the patina shows everybody what we have. My brick and mortar has 1 left if somebody wants the hook up PM me. They ship and have an M4 tan Manix in stock

[twinboysdad]

or I might just buy it tomorrow, then dremel it into the Jandura super steel sprint run I have been thinking of :eek: :spyder: :eek:

just kidding!
