It was 90 a few minutes ago, but I just gave in and bought my first folder....scratch that...first two folders in about a year. It was hard to pay for something that homely in appearance, but...I've been half a$$ed keepin' an eye out for a new beater and perhaps something a bit quicker to access than my current knives, and this seemed like it would fit both bills rather nicely.

What are ya'lls impressions so far? Here's what I'm thinkin' so far based on the picture and past Endura experience:

Gawd that things ugly! really ugly! ow well, purty is as purty does I reckon.

The same wave that makes it so ugly also looks incredibly large and reliable. Looks pretty hard to miss an opening with it. I'm sure I'll also be doing my share to keep Carrhart selling plenty of jeans.

Since it's a Spyderco, I know for a fact it'll cut like crazy and have hellaciously good edge geometry. (a common trait of all Spydies I've ever seen or owned)

It looks hollow ground? is that a deviation from the current Enduras?

Other than that it looks lightweight, reliable, and handy. I really look forward to getting mine and putting it through it's paces. What have y'alls experiences been using it so far?
 
I ordered one from selfdefensegear last thursday. Wondering what the wait is. I asked them to ship priority mail so at the latest it sould have been here tuesday. I hope it shows up tomorrow because i'd hate to go to indianapolis for tactical response's force on force seminar without my new toy and matching trainer. That would piss me off.

They automatically billed my credit card thursday night even though they say they don't bill until it ships. The did not respond to e-mail on tuesday and do not answer their phone. Their voicemail sounds like a generic unprogrammed cell phone. Regardless of the quality of the product when it arrives these guys get a big minus for customer service. Seriously, if 400 people hadn't already recieved their product i'd think i was getting scammed.
 
it's super duper:thumbup: It's a fantastic knife and deploys as lightning :D Nice frn colour and the hump on the blade is not as present as in the pictures. Mine was topnotch, the shipping was fast and the transaction went troublefree.

Oh and you can use it as a bottle cap lifter :D
 
and it opens beer? It can do everything! Now i want mine more than ever.

Last time i ever open beer with a knife was that one party with my benchmade rescue hook. my first few beers went okay, but that did in my fine motor control and i ended up bleeding a lot. It's funny because the company i ordered the rescue hook from sent in in the mail with 5 bandaids.
 
Mongo-man said it all. One of my all time favorites and I do not even open that many bottles.
So far selfdefensegear has always delivered what I ordered but communications have been a bit slow once in a while. Never heard of a matching trainer though, a waved one that is.
 
looks like i'm sh*t outta luck for taking it to class. Rediculous that 2-3 day delivery (which they probably overcharged for) has taken over a week.
 
Tough break man, really sorry to hear that. Hope they make it to ya' soon. Hell, for that matter I hope MINE make it soon.:D Wonder what the shipping date will be when yours arrives?:confused:
 
USPS Priority Mail is not guaranteed to be 2-3 days. In fact they don't consider it lost untill 30 days have passed. Waiting does suck, hopefully you'll see it soon.

I seem to recall the Priority shipping being 3-10 days, but...I figured pointing that out wouldn't help the disappointment of not recieving the knives yet anyways.:D

Glad to hear from Mongo-Man on this one. Seems he and I have had similar taste in knives in the past, so I'll consider that to be a very good thing!!

It's been over 24 hours now...where's the postman with my knife??!!:mad: ;) :D
 
you recall incorrectly. priority mail is 2-3 day delivery. Anyway, i just got an e-mail notice (no they didn't respond to my e-mail yet, it was an automated notice from stamps.com) that my package shipped today. I think waiting 11 days to ship a package kinda defeats the purpose of 2-3 day delivery, especially when you advertize proudly at the top of your websight "Domestic orders placed before 12:00 PM PST usually ship the same day."

It's also inexcusable to bill my credit card a week and a half before shipping when you say on your websight "Your credit card will not be charged until your order has been shipped." Also indicative of a lack of customer service is not returning email's and not answering your telephone.

To get to the point, i'm glad spyderco's next run of waved knives will not be sold exclusively through this vendor because their customer service is non-existant.
 
I remember that it took quite some time to arrive because they were sent in big boxes and we all know big boxes travel slower :)
 
hey guys. Got it figured out with SDG. Talked to the owner and he's a good guy. looks like AOL was kicking his reply into the spam filter.
