In addition to the D'Allara Drop Point, the Endura 4 is on my list of possible next buys. I've never been a huge fan of the Endura, largely due to its resemblance to the Delica which I just can't stand (which dissapoints me becaue it's another great value). Although I like the blade design of the Endura 4 less than that of the Endura 3, I'm not sure I can pass it up. This new redesign seems like we're getting the quality of the military at the price of the Endura even if the blade could use some work how can I turn it down? And where else can anyone buy a slim, lightweight, MBC-rated knife for what this guy costs?
This brings me to my point. How can spyderco get away with so many improvements on the Endura 4 with it only being a couple dollars more expensive? I can't imagine why anyone, even the great unwashed, wouldn't pay $2 more on every spyderco knife for these vast improvements. Likewise, how can spyderco get away with offering this knife that has the quality of the higher end knives without a proportional increase in price? My only thought is that, the Endura being one of their most popular knives, they can keep the price low due to volume.
Any thoughts?
