I was just sitting here thinking about why Spyderco didn't put G-10 on the Endura/Delica. I've never had either and was not comtemplating getting one, until I said WOW!! And that WOW was for the blue jigged bone, titanium bolsters, damascus blade (actually I think the term San-Mai is what it actually is, with it's center being solid VG-10). It looks fantastic, and I'm sitting here trying to resist it, but resistance may be futile.

Spyderco did put G-10 on the Endura and Delica. Apparently they didn't sell well enough to keep in the lineup, either because of the pricetag or the color chosen.

^^^This. And yeah, I think that, as much as the price, the choice of foliage green for the G-10 color was a factor in their relatively poor sales. Green is my favorite color in general (not just when it comes to knife scales), and I'm a big fan of forest green, olive drab, toxic, and ghost jade green G-10, as well as multicolor G-10 that incorporates those colors. And even I find foliage green G-10 very unappealing.
