Ok. I like the Delica. It is my favorite, but I like the Endura, too. I keep wondering if I would like the Endela as much as the other two. I keep putting one in my cart and taking it out. If I could only hold one for a minute I would know.Wartstein wrote: ↑Mon Sep 14, 2020 9:06 amDoc, the Endela is of the exact same closed length as the Manix 2 LW as far as I know! But not as wide!
So Iĺl send you comparison pics of THOSE two models, ok?

Re: Coming back to the plain Delica 4 after experiencing the entire lineup
Same here. The Endela and Police LW have been in and out of my cart at St. Nicks for months. A new exclusive or release always seems to come up and take my money before I can buy them. For example, we have the DLT Cruwear Delica tomorrow, and the out of the blue KW Delica last week. Now we have the K390 version of these two knives coming out so it makes it even more interesting. Do I wait for K390, or buy the VG-10 now? Decisions, decisions. :confused:
CRU-CARTA THE SEKI MODELS! AND BRING US THE DODO-FLY!

- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)

Re: Coming back to the plain Delica 4 after experiencing the entire lineup
It looks like the "horns" on the Endela handle are a bit toned down compared to the Endura and Delica models.

Re: Coming back to the plain Delica 4 after experiencing the entire lineup
I don't have pics handy but I compared my PM2, Stretch 2, Endela, and Manix LW; they are virtually identical in both blade length and handle length. And not to muddy things too much I'm wondering how the RockJumper will compare. Not the right thread for that speculation I know.

The Rock Jumper will be noticeable shorter cause it has no choil and practically no Ricasso, thus a shorter blade and so the handle can be shorter too.

Good eye, your right! The finger grooves are bit mellowed out, thus the "points" less "pointy" and the Endela handle a tad more handfilling..
Actually this was the first thing I noticed too when the first pics of the Endela were released.. See this thread and Sals reply/explanation

Re: Coming back to the plain Delica 4 after experiencing the entire lineup
I inspired myself, and today it came.
I'm happy to say my first disassembly / reassembly of a lockback went quite well. I've always heard the horror stories but it was easier than expected.
Maybe I'll talk myself into a nice K390 blade for this little guy next.

Re: Coming back to the plain Delica 4 after experiencing the entire lineup
I recently got my Endela. It’s great! IMO, it’s more like a scaled-down Endura than a scaled-up Delica.Doc Dan wrote: ↑Mon Sep 14, 2020 9:11 amOk. I like the Delica.

Re: Coming back to the plain Delica 4 after experiencing the entire lineup
Thanks for the pictures. Now I am wondering if I’d like the Endela better than the Manix. Aiyoh!Wartstein wrote: ↑Mon Sep 14, 2020 9:18 am

It will never kick the Delica out of my pocket, though.
The grey one is my most carried and the GITD stays on the bedside table.

I like the book in the background of your pic Doc. It's appropriate!
