Matriarch Blade Swap

#1

Post by Hgwxx7 »

Hello SpyderWorld!

I have a FFG Matriarch that I would love to carry more. My issue is the handle. It’s basically an Endurance 3 handle and my question is if it’s possible to swap the blade with and Endura 4?
Anyone have any experience with this?

Thanks!

My guess is no, due to CQI. I'm sure more will chime in so.. bump, I guess.

Also an option, but the question remains as to whether there is some generational gap that contraindicates the swap, since the Matriarch FFG blade I have is based of the Endura 3 and the Matriarch 2 is based of the Endura 4.

Are there any mods to the Matriarch handles to accommodate the blades? I have seen swaps of lil matriarchs and Delicas, and my inspection of my handle does not show any special cutouts to accommodate the s shape blade. My FFG Lil Matriarch is my absolute favorite EDC, so I would love to try out its big brother.

My Matriarch 2 does have a cutout in the handle to accommodate the blade. Looking at an Endura 4, I don't believe it would accommodate the Matriarch 2 blade without a cutout in the handle either; however, I don't know if the Matriarch and Matriarch 2 blades are exactly the same size because I don't have a Matriarch to compare against nor an Endura 3 to compare handles with the Endura 4.
