Sprint Endura

knifecenter has it listed as an exclusive. However, New Graham also sells this knife. I think it is a limited edition and not an exclusive or a Sprint run.

NGK has several CC subscriptions and they usually resell the CC knives. Assuming that the people at KC understand what an "exclusive" is, there's no reason that seeing this at NGK changes anything.

Personally, I don't really "get" putting a damascus blade into FRN, but YMMV.
 
Spydiewiki says it's a distributor (Moteng) exclusive, as opposed to a dealer/retailer exclusive so it might make sense if that distributor distributes to multiple dealers/retailers. Or does it not work that way? I'm totally just spitballing, here.

To keep the cost low and make it affordable to a wider range of people? Although from an aesthetic perspective, I agree.
 
I've seen it for sale at at least five places in the last couple of weeks, it's a distributor exclusive.

Probably that. I really liked the foliage green G10 Delica and Endura versions - but possibly that would have raised the cost significantly or made it much harder to fit this into the existing production schedules.
 
Doesn't tickle my fancy but to each his own. Love the endura though and love that they are putting out exclusives.
 
I've never really understood Damascus where the core is just the standard steel you'd use anyway. Damascus is only as good as the core, same with San Mai construction.

When it comes to it, if it's a VG10 core, the knife is going to cut/perform the way VG10 does... so basically its a $20 bump to get the same cutting performance but with a gussied up look.

I'll pay for upgraded handle materials, and for better performing steel. But to still get FRN scales, and get the same cutting performance, i can pass on this one.
