New Matriarch2 just in... WOW!!

Finedges · Feb 18, 2012

I have a brown PE Matriarch already, so I thought it would be nice to get a new serrated version. SO glad I did!! The new M2 with steel liners locks up and feels much more solid than the original. I included a few pics for motivation. Considering price, I would definitely pick one up if you're considering doing so!

Very true! The only thing you'd lose in the process is the scales actually say Matriarch instead of Endura. Otherwise looks like a perfect swap.

I know that there is a warning about the warranty, but do you think it would edc well if you like the endura? Ive been wanting a hawkbill but this seems just as practical. I mean the matriarch is the edc version of the civilian right? And i love serrations and keep them sharp. Do you think it would be a manageable edc?

Will there be a P.E. version?

I've never wanted or had to, take apart a 4th generation Endura/Delica, but I hear it's not exactly easy

.
Doubt I'll try it.

I plan on carrying this knife in addition to a Delica, slipjoint or SAK, but that's just me. I'm sure there are those who may want to use this blade as a primary edc. The last few mm's of the tip is extremely thin and needle-like, so I would worry about damage with regular use.

haha fair enough, hopefully someone will, I would love to see a purple matriarch.

Nice pics! I too have the brown sprints but never carried them so I ordered one of these to carry along with another knife for utility purposes.

Thanks Sal. I'm a frequent flyer here.

I'm glad to see this knife too.
