Ive been pretty happy with my Endura Zome VG10 and have always been quite satisfied with my Spyderco VG10 knives in general.
I am certainly not amongst those turning up their noses at this excellent kitchen and folding knife steel.

How ever, when there was a chance to buy a Spyderco in V-Toku2, I jumped at the chance and bought an Endura from KnifeCenter.
Because I also have a couple of other knives in approximately the same size (a Caly in ZDP-189, which isone of my favorite steels and the aforementioned VG10 Endura), Ive only now gotten around to using the V-Toku2 Endura.

Holy 'carp' that thing is sharp!
(almost rhymes :) )

Whilst the VG10 Endura is fine, the V-Toku2 is just on another level.
What a beauty of a knife and what a slicer. It came screaming sharp from Spyderco via KnifeCenter.
Lamination lines looks great. One side slightly lower than the other side, which doesnt bother me at all.
I wouldnt care an iota, if they were more uneven to tell the truth.
The slighty uneven lines are part of the charm IMO.
I very much look forward to using this one more in the future.

Ive read several of the V-Toku2 threads but would like to hear what owers think of V-Toku2 Spyderco knives at this point after having used theirs for a while.

I love Vtoku2! Excellent steel that gets crazy sharp like Super Blue!
 
Still liking my Stretch. Hasn't been bumped since it arrived.
The Stretch seems very popular - not least in VToku2. A Stretch (or was it called 'Hunter' back then?) was one of my earliest Spyderco knives. A classic and immensely useful knife, if I ever saw one.

Im a big fan of Super Blue but missed out on the SB craze (and refuse to pay second hand prices). Thats the reason I immediately jumped on the V-Toku2, when it popped up on KnifeCenter. No way, I was going to miss out on this one and yes, it has some of the same excellent qualities.

Sorry you missed the SB. I snagged one on the exchange for $100. Likely because it had a patina. Love it though
 
I call it the hotdog patina; ketchup, mustard and relish dabbed onto the whole blade.

Uh oh, here we go with ketchup on hotdogs!

Spoiler alert, always had ketchup on dogs. Didn't even know it was a thing till a few years ago.

Me too but the V-Toku2 makes up for it.
IMO seeing the blades develop a patina is half the fun. Patina would certainly not deter me from buying a knife.
 
It is indeed.
Here are the lam lines on mine. One side slightly lower than the other. Uneven lam lines eems to bother some people but I dont mind.
