Endura 4, a few questions...

[Lukthree]

first off, does aynone own the sprint run white version of the endura 4? i like the look of it but im wondering if the white frn will stain easily or if it is easy to keep clean... also i only own one other spydie, a ss dragonfly which has no washers, and im wondering if the endura4 has washers or not? thanks guys

you might get a better response in the spyderco subforum.

Yes, the Endura 4 has bronze(?) washers. Very smooth-opening.

Yes, the E4 has bronze phosphate washers. As for the staining issue, I remember reading a thread a while ago asking the same thing. Apparently it doesn't stain easily, but might be a bit hard to clean due to the textureing.

I don't have an Endura, but I do have a Delica 4, which I believe has the same Volcano texturing. I grabbed it out of pocket the other day with drywall mud all over my hands to cut something quickly, and a good deal of the stuff congealed in the handle.

I got most of it out with a toothpick, not too big of a deal. I've been using Automotive plastic detailer on a terry towel to clean most of my knives lately. It has a plastic protectant in it, and the terry towel has enough roughness to get into all the little grooves on the handle.

I have a white Endura. It doesnt stain easily.

I also have the White Endura 4. It does not stain easily. Even if it did, that Storm Trooper White is just to cool to pass up.

The joint compound(mud) will clean up with water. Maybe use a brush to get into the nooks. Back in the day, I finished more drywall than I care to remember. The only part of clean up that was difficult was shampooing the dust out of my hair.
