blade & handle pair

[dilettante]

Hi guys!
this is the first time I ask something here.
I like very much the full flat ground "Endura 2008" blade, but I still have some perplexity about the handle profile, even if I understood it is a well-established one. Did anyone ever thought that such a blade could be paired to a handle shape such as the "Atlantic" one? Does anyone know if such a knife will ever be produced?
Thanks

I don't understand: what's a well-established what?

I don't know if you can exchange the blades and handles of the Salt/E4 knives. But I believe (not 100% sure) you can change the handles and blades between E4 Flat-grounds and E4 FRNs.

ok, let me explain better...
first of all, I am thinking about a matter of design, not materials etc...
by "well established handle profile" I mean that the handle shape did not change so much between different editions of the knife
then, look at the image below, I hope this can better explain my point of view (sorry for the bad quality of the image manipulation...)

You could try just swaping the blades, the locks will need to stay in there respective handles as they wont fit the other handle but you might get lucky with a good lock up.

The blades will need to be the same thicknes and verry similar length if its any chance of working though.

Good suggestion. I love the Endura as it is, but it couldn't hurt to add a choil. We'll see if Sal has anything to say.
