Re: Is the Endura still well loved in 2023?

Thanks for the feedback LeDe. As for what I meant by using a tip draw, it just means to place the knife tip on your cutting surface, then draw it across what you are cutting. I would do this to apple quarters to slice them. With a wharncliffe this becomes problematic because the tip would dig into ...

Re: Is the Endura still well loved in 2023?

I used my Salt 2 Wharncliff a lot for food prep... This comment had me really interested, I always assumed wharncliffes wouldn't work well for food prep because I tend to do a lot of tip draws on food with paring knives or any knife without knuckle clearance over a cutting surface. That's one of th...

Re: Is the Endura still well loved in 2023?

The Endura 4 is still my favorite spyderco model. I’d love to see one with a delica’s stock thickness however. Was hoping that at least the Endela would carry over the thinner Delica blade stock...but it got the 3 mm of the Endura. That would be great, I love how my delica handles food prep having ...

Is that a UKPK Heinnie heynes G10 that I spot? If yes, out of curiosity how much did they go for? From the models I saw, that would have been in my basket along probably a Caribbean. Out of the premium model, I may have gone for a Drunken. Thanks, Yes, that is the HH UKPK, cost me $52. And in looki...

Re: Giving the gift of a Spyderco

People around me are not just non-knife people. I gifted my brother a victorinox Classic. When I asked a few months later if he ever carried it, he said and I quote/translate exactly: " I am not going to travel around with a knife"... So when I see a sale, i cant even justify buying a knif...

Re: Giving the gift of a Spyderco

I don't really have that much of this opportunity here. The only person who does not find me weird for loving knives is my wife. It is when I offered her her pink Dragonfly that i started digging my own hole further. It has been quite a costly year. So good deed dont always pays off I guess. Unless ...

Twice? That must be just you. I admire your self-control.
I am probably averaging way above 20.

I have the same philosophy with some other tools as well, so I don't think it's the knife enthusiast in me looking for a way to justify another knife - I have no problem accomplishing that without adding a HB to my sock drawer.

Re: Experiences with hawkbills?

I was not sure about the hawkbill so I got a DF first. Not versatile but I like it and carry it a fair bit next to a PE blade or a SAK. Probably not a rationale choice but a fun one.
Now it convinced me to buy a Tasman Salt which I am thinking may work well as my spearfishing knife.
