DLT Cruwear Endela

[jdw]

I haven’t seen this posted yet so I thought that I would put it out there. I am pretty excited about this one. It will be my first Endela and in a combo that I really like.

I love the color combo, but I'm not sold on Cru-Wear. I could look up how awesome Cru-Wear is, or just post it here.

Cruwear isn’t my favorite steel but I like it, and like you, I like the color combo. I am sure there are plenty of people on the board willing to offer up greater praises for Cruwear to you than me.

a lot of people have been waiting for the endura, since this combo predates the endela. i wish it was an endura wharncliffe.

I'll end up getting one of these. Not sure what's not to like about Cru-Wear? I find it easy to sharpen, and having good (not super) edge retention and better corrosion resistance than say K390. I could do without the coating but love the Endela and don't dislike Cru-Wear.

Count me in. It will go with the Dragonfly they released a while ago.
Love the color combo and Cruwear is a great blade steel.

The Endela is a really excellent knife. This is another sweet variation.
However, I have the basic VG10 Rockjumper and Endela to compare, and the Rockjumper/leafjumper is just a better model for me. I’d be much more likely to go for variations of those and that is going to keep me from this.

Bring on the Endura and Police versions.

Uncoated Endura would be a buy. Something about blacked out blades doesn’t work for me. I only have one DLC blade.

I'd rather have the endura in this combo, c'mon Dlt hook it up!...I think they did a delica a while back so hopefully an endura is in the works!......

The "Delivered and Upcoming" thread says this knife has a TiCN coating. I haven't seen that before, usually just cerakote or DLC.

I think I remember Eric mentioning testing a new coating. Is this it?

[prndltech]

can't wait for the endura!

but I will probably buy this Endela cuz I already have the Delica...

im sure it will be the same as all Seki knives, just like the Delica run. TiCn.

TiCN is the coating used on knives made in Japan and Taiwan. DLC is used on Golden made knives. I don’t think Spyderco uses Cerakote on their knives but I could be forgetting something at the moment.

I like Cruwear pretty well, dig the color and price and my only endela is a kind of fugly zome, I'll probably get this one.

[riclaw]

Thanks, Shannon and Nick. The GB2 and CF Chaparral are the only Japan or Taiwan made knives I have. Neither blade is coated, so TiCN is a new one to me.

Ah ****, there goes my knife budget.
