My new green Endura 4.

[MojoRising]

I have to be honest. I didn't like what I saw when looking at pics online. I have carried an old school Endura for so long I was more than a little biased. All the pics I saw also seemed to make the E4 look too thick and round in the scales. Well, I just got my green E4 in from NGK today and I have to eat some crow. I love the new Endura! Time will tell how the new screw system holds up, and I still think the old single large barrel screw was a better idea for a pocket clip. But all things considered I should have known I would love it. It is a Spyderco after all...

iv'e come to realize that even if i don't particularly care for a certain model of spyderco once i get it in my hands i feel the quality no matter which one it is and i have to at the least respect all the hard work that went into that knife.

:spyder: The new way gives something back to the deviant tip downers :cool: :spyder:

Here is a quick pic...

I'm sure this has been covered already but do the clip screws thread into the metal liners?

You know, the more I see it, I think that forest green might just be the "perfect" color for the Endura...

Yep, in fact I'm 99,9% sure that all of the screws in all spydie models screw in metal parts, either a liner (clip screws) or into a female "screw-assembly"thingy. The opposite screws on each side the handle screws into eachother if that makes sense. see this example:

Yep, my crow tasted okay after a heavy dose of Dale's marinade, Cavender's Greek seasoning and sliced real thin with my new SS E4. :o

I was hesitant to change over from my SS E2, but after the second try, it has earned it's place as EDC. I thought I wouldn't like that it sticks up a bit higher with the redesigned clip in tip-up mode (the only real way :D ), but it gives a better place to grip it between the clip and the screws.

As for the tip, I prefer a pointer style, but in real use, the new tip functions just as well and gained strength. And of course, as good as AUS-6 really is, VG-10 is much better.

- I like that it is tip up - gets little to no dust in the pivot when working outside.
- The SS is plenty grippy with the ergos Sal has built in.
- It has a solid back, so my keys do not poke through and get the edge.
- Being SS, it looks a bit classier, although that is not a big deal.
- Disappears in the pocket even better with the smooth SS scales, much better than FRN when reaching in for other things.
- SS almost seems more personal, as it warms with use, especially in the winter.

I would still be quite interested in a lined G-10, VG-10, flat ground, tip up E4 though.

Until then, we have a winner, thanks Sal. :) :spyder: :)
