The Endura? Really.

Carrying my K390 Stretch 2 today. I also have the Endura and Delica in same steel.

Love the FRN and carry one of the above more than my nicer knives. These things just scream "tool" in design and use. Also owned my first Delica in about 1996 (sadly stolen) so the design holds some sentimental value as well.

Beautiful yard and property there!

Thank you, sir! It's 17 acres of neighborless heaven. I cut about 10 of those acres (including a dog kennel and 200-yard shooting range), and it takes me 8-10 hours depending on blow downs that have to be picked up. I also own two rental properties in the area, and I cut and maintain my tenants' yards as well. So, even though I'm "retired," I still put in 20-30 hours of real work every week.

Double edged sword for sure, but man I bet it's a good feeling when it's clean. I've always felt having a well manicured lawn is a bit like having a fresh haircut, it just makes everything feel better.
 
I got the Police 4 K390 serrated recently. My wife got the Endura with the same configuration.
I’m very impressed with these models and think the Endura would be especially good in the hiking/camping arena.
Think I’ll be getting the Endura version also.
 
This is a photo of my Gen 1 Endura Clip-it collection that I posted on BF long ago:

The one at the top is a user & one of the 1st Spydercos that I ever purchased. The other 3 are a matched PE/PS/SE set that I collected later.

You have a near complete catalogue of quite a few different models, it's impressive.

The endura is my favorite spyderco in terms of proportion and lines... I only wish they would make new molds to include the wire clip.

Thanks!

. . . but, while it is pretty wide ranging, my Spydie collection is far from "complete."

There are many models & variations that are missing from my collection, either because I couldn't find them, didn't think to look for them, didn't like/want them or wasn't willing to pay what was being asked for them.

It's just composed of what I've been able to cobble together "willie-nillie" over the past 5-6 yrs. 🤷

Endura ZDP-189 remains my main weekend edc. CRK’s sleep while my Endura works. Over time my mind and hand have molded to the Endura.

I do carry a H1 manbug SE for work. Small SE opens anything. I like the combo.
 
Cut a few of those hardwood type plants that grow under your hedges today. Not big, but they give plain edges a bit of a hard time. That serrated edge passed through like it was nothing. Each cut was followed by a big grin. What the hell took me so long to get one of these? Better late than never I guess.

Wow. Just got a K390 Endura. Like it a lot. Old guy that I am I appreciate easy open/close of lockback knives. Nice knife. Very nice. And it's mine for sure now as it has already bit me. Not the first Spyderco to do that either.
