Hi all,
I just recently found this forum and I just wanted to say how much I'm enjoying it. I've found it to be a very informative and pleasant place to spend some time. It's very refreshing to see the owner of a company interacting with his customers. We need more business leaders like this. Hats off to you and your company Mr. Glesser, keep up the great work.
I ran across the forum by accident while doing a little research. I'm looking for a new daily carry/duty knife and was surfing to see what was available. I've narrowed my choice down to a Military, CF Police, or an Endura. I just can't seem to make up my mind. Incidentally I've carried the same Endura for the last 12 years as my daily duty knife. As a police officer I've used it daily for everything from opening the mail to cutting people out of locked safety belts. I even used it once to cut a small tree branch down in length that a lady had managed to impale her thigh with. When I started in Police work I was given a Delica by a friend and purchased the Endura at the same time. I used the Delica as a back-up to the Endura. Both were 50/50 edge knives and cut great. One day at the range I managed to lose the Delica. I was pretty mad at myself for losing it. About two months later another officer found it in the tall grass and gave it back to me. I was very happy to have it back and amazingly enough in great condition. It had been sitting out in the field all that time and there wasn't a speck of rust on it! I wiped it down and cleaned up the edge and put it back in my duty bag. About a year later I loaned it to an officer that I was training who didn't have a duty knife. Yep, you guessed it he lost it. Unfortunately this time it was gone for good.
A few years ago I made the mistake of replacing my Endura with a CRKT M-16. The M-16 was a decent knife but just wouldn't hold an edge like my Endura does. I finally got fed up with the M-16 and threw it in my range bag. It didn't get the job done like my trusty old Endura. Unfortunately the Endura is getting a little worn out from all the use and sharpening. So it's time for a new Spydie. I've looked at everything SOG, Benchmade, you name it but I keeping coming back to the Spydercos. I just can't break that trust/faith I have in my old Endura. I'm always looking at the latest and greatest on the market but I keep coming back to the old saying "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". Now if I can just make up my mind.............. It's nice to have such a dilemma.
