Wharncliffe Endura Sprint

#1

Post by GautamGoel »

I'd love to a sprint of the Wharncliffe Endura in something more a bit more premium than VG10. In my opinion, this knife is one of the more interesting and exotic Spyderco knives which is still practical to EDC. I'm bored of 20CV/M390 - there are too many sprints in these steels these days, and the homogeneity takes a lot of fun out of the sprint runs. I would be happy to see the sprint run in S90V or CPM Cruwear. Something stainless with good edge retention. Honestly, I'd be thrilled to have a run in S30V. For handles, I prefer to avoid flashy or garish colors. Forest green, black, grey, light blue, light green, and desert brown all seem like interesting choices.

BTW, I meant to mention that I'd be particularly interested in this sprint if it had a serrated edge.

I wonder how big the new Seki sprint run will be. I believe the last one was VTOKU-2. The lineup has grown a bit since then. Will every knife in every configuration get the new steel? I'm guessing not. Never hurts to start campaigning now I suppose. I'd talk to places who have Seki exclusives. I'd love to see a P4LW from KnifeWorks in their lovely dark green and 204P. I sent them an email asking for my preferred configuration. Their response was non-committal, but I remain hopeful.

I'm all for any new Wharncliff sprints and exclusives, although my preference is for PE.

I'm hoping we get a regular production Endura Wharncliffe K390. I know the Delica version is coming. Maybe, an Endura version will follow?

I’ve been holding back for a sprint or exclusive Endura Wharnie . I hope it happens next year sometime along with an Endela . MG2

Count me in on team wharncliffe. I’ve gotten really big into them lately and love how effective the design is. I’d like a coated tough steel in both endura and delica size. M4, cruwear, 4v, 52100, etc.

Great idea might as well go big ! MG2

I would love an Endura wharncliffe sprint in g10 or micarta and whatever steel for ‘hard use’. Someone here had added micarta scales to a VG10 wharncliffe and it looked sweet.

Got to give love my fairly new VG10 wharncliffe as a user too. Got it on a deal from Lamnia (to stop me buying something more expensive that I couldn’t afford (Yojimbo/Yojumbo/Amalgam) at the time and it has been in my pocket ever since. Pushed out my Manix XL and my Manix lw S110V on most days and matches well with my Watu.

As it’s edc I maintain the edge but really enjoyed coming back to VG10 from ‘better’ steels and understanding I got a good sharp knife that will tolerate some hard work (that I don’t want my perfect Watu to do). The VG10 wharncliffe versions of the endura and Delica have been such great value.

Bless you all for 2022.

I'm in for all the Wharnie Sprints. Would LOVE to see the Endela Wharnie get a fun steel, k390 or otherwise. And more Wharnies out of Golden are also welcome... 2022: A Year for Wharnies!
