G-10 Endura and FRN Endura blades swappable?

[elkins45]

Anybody know if it is possible to transplant a blade from a FRN Endura into the G-10 model? I would like to create a fully serrated version of the G-10 Endura by swapping out the serrated blade of my FRN model.

I don't want to buy the more expensive model unless I know the blades will interchange.

Any info appreciated..

It isn't recommended, but it has been done. Keep the lockbar with the blade it came with to help avoid lockup problems.

Iv done for my self and other people with the Endura and Delica.

As stated you just need to make sure the lock up is still good and solid.

I've swapped the blades from a G10 Endura with a FRN handled ZDP-189 Endura, so I now have a ZDP-189 blade in a G10 handle and a Flat ground VG-10 blade in an FRN handle. I love them both!

In this case, the lockbars must remain in the original handles. Swap the blades only.
