Spyderco Endela: How Does it Stack Up?

[@Dudeee_]

Just placed an order for the Endela in black and red zome with 20cv steel from DLT. Great steel in the perfect size!

[@simonking8198]

How do you like this version? It’s still available and I’m considering it.

[@rob10ring]

@@simonking8198 it’s great and still available. I’ve been using it at work and only stropping.

[@sanchopanza4583]

the knife no one asked for and now i always wanted

[@Jack3dBrett]

people have been asking for one for years now bud lol

[@danofiremano]

Update: Last year I bought the Red/Black Zome Endela in 20CV & it's a great knife!

[@sovner]

got my first Endura 4 in the mail a few weeks ago, and now that i'm holding it in my hand I'm thinking there's no point in buying eighter the delica or the endela

[@jimj7925]

I wish Ontario would do this with the 🐀. Love the r2d2 but it’s a tad small and the R1 is a great knife but just a beast of a pocket knife for edc.

[@chrissexton6634]

Rat 1.5

[@danofiremano]

Thanks for the look-see! I'll have to fondle one before I make my final decision to buy or not.

[@CharlieJulietSierra]

Pretty sure this is going to be the perfect sized EDC knife for me.

[@timbo4374]

I never got the Delica, as for me, it's to small, the Endura is to large. I always said I'd love one if they had one in between the 2, so I was happy to see they were coming out with one, and planned to buy one. Then, I picked up a Stretch, and fell in love with it, so I likely won't bother with the Endella now. The stretch fills that size slot for me, and I love the forward choil.

[@LegBuilder]

I am thinking of the stretch or the endela. I have been leaning to the stretch. Is it that much better

[@clavididk1236]

@glorybound2311 I love mine and it's in k390 steel. Fire

[@paulb322]

Try one in serrted , maybe its just me , but the serrated VG10 seems to hold up to use very well. If they come out with one in S30V , I'll definitely pick one up

[@kentbriggs]

Being a 14-minute review of a folding knife, it would have been nice if you had shown us what it looked like in the folded position at least once.

[@thomastammaro693]

You should do a video on how you sharpened yours.

[@sharkpillow8444]

My major beef with the para 3 lw... more colors please!

[@Maggieroniandcheese]

Great looking knife!

[@thomastammaro693]

Thanks bro. I just bought one( serrated)

[@MyEnemy]

I've got to have it.

[@ChristianW1975]

Uploaded the exact same minut as Gideonstactical, nice 🙂

[@TheLateBoyScout]

Christian Windum Totally not coordinated, but cool!

[@BX138]

So, the PM2, Endela and Tenacious are pretty much the same size. It just comes down to what steel you want and what your budget is. If you need heavy duty, get a PM2. If you're just doing average cutting, Endela. If you're ok with sharpening more often, Tenacious.

[@bobweber1143]

I like the screw together construction. Come on 2020 versions!!!

[@dryflyfisher76]

Why is nobody comparing this to the stretch? I don't know for sure but the Endela looks a lot like a stretch but with a straight spine..?

[@bowencreer3922]

DryFlyFisher76 ya this is great but I wish they’d give us the stretch in more colors.

[@frederickj.7702]

The "Stretch", guys, has been a discontinued model for, I'm guessing from past research, about *four years* . A Stretch 2 is definitely a more specialized, *different* knife... not a mere tweak on the original folder by any reasonable reckoning. I own both, so I can speak from concrete evidence in hand. A Stretch 2 is not a simple substitute for either an Endura or an Endela, if design intent and efficiency for tackling typical EDC tasks are some things that matter. I own an Endura (3.27 oz., BTW, in FFG & V-Toku2). FYI.

[@LegBuilder]

@@frederickj.7702 so do you like the stretch 2 more than the endura or endela. I am going to buy one in k390. I would appreciate your opinion

[@PotatoCheese]

@@LegBuilder I'm also trying to decide between those same models. Did you ever end up buying one of those Glory? If so how do you feel about your decision?

[@LegBuilder]

@@PotatoCheese i bought the endela. i had the endura in the past and i like the handle size but the law here is 3.5 in. i like the thicker handle of the stretch but i found a good deal on ebay so bought the endela. i am not a finger choil guy so i like it. if i could take the robust handle of the stretch without the choil i would like it a lot. i am happy with it. its a good size. the delica was always too small for me.

[@ChristopherWalkenPUA]

I wish spyderco would put deep carry pocket clips on more of their knives.

[@VeniVidiVid]

Christopher Walken it’s an extra expense, but I have deep carry pocket clips by Lynch on several of mine. Also like that they’re not overly long. Nice and subtle in the pocket. www.bladehq.com/?search=spyderco+pocket+clip+lynch

[@ArcheryDad2024]

I agree, recently got a mini-grip from Benchmade & immediately emailed them & sent me a deep carry clip @ no cost, wish Spyderco did the same thing.

[@SuperMobile66]

Agree. Wish they would just do the wire clips on these.

[@northstar5]

@@SuperMobile66 100%

[@AlMullard]

Yea! This knife is the perfect size for pocket and in hand.... I kid you not, if you file down the front finger guard & sand it smooth , It turns this okay knife into a sweet knife!

[@Jack3dBrett]

Any news on colored variants being released?

[@Dudeee_]

Just picked up a black and red zome endela with 20cv steel from DLT!

[@Jack3dBrett]

@@Dudeee_ bro youre the man. Ive been waiting for an upgraded version since it was released. Had no idea DLT had this

[@caelbrown5521]

4:15 Its their problem free philosophy

[@williamhartsell6390]

Wish it was a tanto

[@deanalbertson7203]

Now in K390.

[@paulb322]

Not sure if you could compare a Tenacious to a PM2 .8cro- . wont compare to any of the PM2 steels ...

[@gregkis]

80 bucks wow only 2 bucks more than delicas are now

[@kencaz]

Just what I have been waiting for... Do you know if they will have an Emerson Wave version...?

[@TheLateBoyScout]

KenCaz_ Know? No. But I’ll bet so eventually.

[@deanalbertson7203]

I like serrated knives.

[@foxw2253]

Hope they make linerless delicas

[@davidkinninger0164]

That didn't look like a rat model 2.

[@ayayron7776]

Wow

[@THEZOMBIEBUNKER]

Personally don't get it. A delica with liner lock or compression lock now that be the shit. Persistence best bang for your buck in Spyderco knives,,,

[@drmaudio]

You know, I still don't have a Delica. One of those things I'm slightly embarrassed about.

[@tumblingdown8612]

Not really worth it anymore imo

[@tmo7734]

If you don’t own a Spiderco knife in that family, the Endela could be a nice option. For everyone else, it’s a waste of money, in my opinion.

[@cwsmith17]

That knife should sell for $39.99. Good old Sal and Eric love squeezing their customers.

[@frederickj.7702]

Rocks loaded in head, too, I note. Little chance of an informed, useful point of critique forthcoming any time soon, I am sure. You're not sophisticated enough to understand these models, or executive function in a manufacturing & marketing environment... so don't buy one. Your agonies solved.

[@trageopar]

Wow someone’s trying really hard to sound super smart....
