My favorite knife is my Spyderco Stretch in K390. I use it and use it, and I have yet to sharpen it. I do need to get around to stropping it, but it just keeps cutting! I want a Delica or an Endura in K390. I wish Spyderco did more of their knife in K390, like the Sage series, with G-10 and compression lock!!

The endura is a great lineup. I like blades that are > 4”, I carry a Police in K390 or a Tatanka in VG10 or a Resilience in 8CR13MOV. I also like to carry a CS Espada L.

I have a stretch 2 in k390 and I think I’m gonna patina it like yours, plus I want two more Spydercos… I own an original 1990 endura with AUS-8 it was my dads (God rest his soul) but it a keep sake, I love that knife but I want k390 so I’m leaning towards the endura …either warncliffe or drop…I haven’t decided yet. I’d also like a cru-carta PM2.

I carried a waved endura for a long time. It failed to lock one day and roasted a new pair work gloves. I now carry pocket fixed blades, currently it is a Boker Kwaiken fixed.

@@dickinsteinblowitz7102 I will counter that it is a good reason to not carry a knife that is already broken in the middle, and which requires extra steps to make it close to being as secure as a fixed blade. All locks can and will fail, they are a mechanism; a fixed blade has no mechanisms.

There isn't any maintenance at all, at worst it gets a patina and minor black surface rust. I have a reground endela at sub 10 thou behind the edge and it still has a ton of toughness for a pocket knife. I dropped it on the ceramic tile the other day and only had minor edge rolling that was easily sharpened out.

@AlanMarcaski-hw5mu 5 ай бұрын

The wave version is an excellent choice of you like the wave feature in general. I keep a zip tie on many of my spyderco's, but there's always one on the Endura. This is a knife that deploys fantastic with a wave and almost feels too traditional to me without it... Having the wave makes deployment super efficient and therefore a top choice for work and or self defense. Be warned, that you may have to loctite the pivot every once in a blue, as the wave deployment puts some extra stress on the lockbar with that smack open during deployment and this will loosen a pivot and wear the knife a little faster than it normally would otherwise.

@@5MinuteKnives when the Chinese product is blatantly stealing an American design (i.e. the wave snaggletooth), then I have a real problem with buying it. When it's a purely cosmetic purchase (i.e. the black screws), again I have a real problem with buying it. You do know why their stuff is so cheap, right? Because they ignore intellectual property rights, have zero environmental regulations, pay slave wages, etc. etc. etc. And do you need a reminder that they absolutely did cause the pandemic and refuse to take responsibility for it?

I like the endura alotone in 20cv is actually in my edc rotation,and considering I have around thirty mid to high end fooders,that's saying something.The one downside(to me)is that back lock,got a military 2 a few months ago,and although it's a little large,that compression lock makes it much more enjoyable to use,Btw,I live in a constitutional carry state,so legally,we can carry any size knife concealed.Since CC came into effect here in july,I've started edcing fixed blades,like the bradford guardian thrre,and the essee xancudo,both of which are very comfortable,(and conceable)in horizontal carry.I also have a couple of full size knives that work well in neck carry,which is nice too.Theres' something about a full tang fixed blade,just feels so solid...
