I recently ordered a sog visionary 2 and I am very pleased with it.
I posted my review here.
http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=591789
I also have a spyderco endura that i use at work. The endura is a fine knife but its not the prettiest thing ever and its not the most comfortable thing ever. I am sarting to compare these two knives now and I find them rather similar.
I would put the sog visionary 1 and 2 in the same boat as the delica and endura even though the spyderco area little cheaper. An endura can run about $50.00 and the visonary 2 about $100.00 (on newgraham.com)They both use vg-10, the visionary 2 and endura are similar in size as are the visionary 1 and the dedlica, they both use a plastic type handle, FRN and zytel.
That being said I think the visionary series seems to be everything the delica and endura are but better.
The visionary series has full liners with a small lip while the endura and delica liners are not full. The visionary series has that nice smooth ar lock while spyderco has the basic lockback.
The visionary is a more asthetially pleasing shape, especially with that nice subtle recurve. And even though the visionary handle seem to be more basic, I find it to be more comfortable.
Yes spyderco does manage to get those enduras and delicas out at cheaper costs making them more competitive, but I am starting to like the visionary 2 better than the endure.
The endura and delica have been sort of standard EDC knife in the knife comunity but the more I think about it, i think that the visionary should be a new standard. Ok, because of the price maybe not the new standard but I would at least say that the visionary series is the endura/delica but better.
