Sal and Co, Can you help? Endura 3 Wave
Sal and Co, Can you help? Endura 3 Wave
I’ve been in the hunt for an Endura 3 Wave for longer than I care to admit. Today that dream became a reality! I know from spydiewiki that there were 500 of them made. Does anyone know anything else about them?
Original forum that commissioned them?
Was this the first Spyderco with a wave?
Anyone else here have one?
ETA : title change to get more visibility.

Re: Found a Grail
Thank you. I got in a bidding war last year for one that I’ve regretted letting go ever since. I didn’t chance it this time.

Re: Found a Grail?
Sick knife! I had no idea there was a waved version of the E3. I'd be curious to hear any answers to your questions as well.
Re: Found a Grail?
Grails in hand are for celebrating. Congratulations.

Re: Found a Grail?
Held this blade at shot show and really liked it.
The Sabre ground blade is completely different - heavy towards the tip. Completely different opening and closing feel to me. More hefty. You agree?
I love the Emerson wave. Worked perfectly on every draw. I liked it more than expected
Also the wave grind significantly reduces the pocket-carry size by substantially reducing the blade height overall. I am a big fan

Re: Sal and Co, Can you help us?
All I could find in the wiki article.
Emerson Wave opener were made for a self defense forum. It was limited to 500 pieces, of those a 25 were bought and embellished for Messerforum.net.
It's a starting point if you're interested in searching.

Re: Sal and Co, Can you help us?
Yeah, I had that info already from the original post. That’s why I started this thread. The Messerforum’s came with a TiN gold clip with a black Spyder. I hopped on over there and did an archive search. Pretty cool stuff.yablanowitz wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2024 11:23 amAll I could find in the wiki article.

This version was only made in late 90’s early 2000’s. I doubt they had one on display recently.Spyderwebs wrote: ↑Thu Feb 08, 2024 11:09 pmThis year, in the regular display case (not the special ones for prototypes and upcoming sprints)

Re: Sal and Co, Can you help us?
Hi Dodge,
we've built quite a few of them across the year. I don't remember which was when. Maybe someone will?

Re: Sal and Co, Can you help? Endura 3 Wave
Does your box not have the date code on the label? Mine is from May 2005.
Re: Sal and Co, Can you help? Endura 3 Wave
No date code on the box my wave came in.
I am hoping those are Japanese characters on the box and not Chinese.

Yes that’s the Japanese market box
