Delica vs endura

[benlg]

I have medium hands and prefer Endura, great for food and fruits. The Delica is just a tad short for some tasks.

I think the correct answer is,, get both!

if a knife by looks scares anyone than any knife will do it. ive tested this at my office and around tourists from knife unfriendly areas in big cities etc. like montreal. those who are scared by an endura are scared by a delica or for that matter a peanut or sodbuster just as much.

I agree.
Furthermore, if the user thinks his knife is scary, that feeling is more likely to be conveyed to others around him. If the user treats his blade as a routine everyday tool,others usually don t pay attention to it. In my exprience.
I carry the Endura. It s 3/4 inch longer than the Delica.

I like the Delica in the FFG. Nice carry size.

Most people use a kitchen knife for food prep and so that is low on the list for EDC tasks, for me. I love the Endura and will own more. But, push comes to shove, the Delica does everything I need such a knife to do and does it with less weight and size.

Now, if the question had of been "which knife, the Endura or PM2?" I would have said the Endura, hands down.

never warmed up with Endura. The handle feels weird - the first groove is too big for one finger and too small for two fingers.

I have medium to large hands and the current Delica feels like it was made for me. I also have a SE Endura - it feels good too but the I prefer the Delica. I've owned a Delica of some sort since the model came out. Other than the original molded clip, the current Delica 4 is my favorite. I've used them as an EMT and an Army Medic and never had one fail. My current user is a FFG PE Delica 4 in Brown. I've carried it on hikes & Scout trips, but mostly it is my Khaki Commando knife at work.

The only time I prefer my SE Endura is for use as a steak knife while eating out at restaurants.
