Discontinued Endura 3 SE VG10. A beauty, ain't she?

Nice buy. I only have one serrated knife, the salt I. I wasn't too crazy about the FRN handles on knives, so up until this knife i stayed away from it. I think spyderco does an excellent job and the knife doesn't feel cheap in any way. I think the next spydie i buy will either be a delica or endura in FRN with a plain edge.

That's not much more than I paid for my Tenacious. Still, I'm happy for you...and sad for me!

Lurking on eBay finally paid off

Love the Endura/Delica 3s. Nobody makes a pinned knife like Spyderco. Unfortunatley they are making less pinned knives. Favorites are the Delica 3, Salt 1, Native, and the Caly3. They all stay tight and smooth.

Hey that would have matched the Delica I picked up last week.

Did you purchase it as a user or for your collection ? I realy think you did pretty well for 41 bucks it certainly is a bit different than the current endura and should stick out in a crowd I realy dig the syder edge as well.

Got it off eBay, its a collection piece since its literally NIB. I usually don't do collections, but they are limited to a few discontinued models. Most knives I own I either carry/don't use/keep sharp for emergencies or beat the snot out of.

Congrats on your catch. I've got a fully serrated Delica 1 that I used when I first got it back in '93 and I don't think I've used it since about '95 or so and it's still in pretty good condition.
That's it on the right with its siblings the Delica4 in the middle and Salt1 on the left.
