Spyderco Endura 4 Wave

[HybridTurtle]

So im thinking about ordering the spyderco endura 4 wave, but will it be as sharp (factory) as the full flat ground regular enduras?(G10)

[cat61986]

yes

if you're worried about sharpness, get a spyderco sharpening kit.

same old sharpness, sharp edge and pointy end ... keep away from yourself

I have never been a fan of the wave opening system, but I can assure you that the Endura is a fine knife. The metal holds an edge very well. A wonderful EDC knife.

[HybridTurtle]

im kind of second guessing myself on the wave or not... i need some opinions

[cat61986]

Is there a reason why you're going for the wave version? The regular version of the Endura is still as awesome. I personally think it's a bit safer since some people don't know how to handle the wave versions very well and tend to cut themselves.

Enduras are fairly big though, so what is the purpose of this knife for you? If you want daily use, I'd go for a delica.

its for my dad, hs bdays coming up pretty soon, and he looked intrested in the waved version, but i just watched a vid on youtube on nutnfancy's channell and there were some new enduras that were full flat ground, so i was thinking about holding off and getting him one of those

[zenmic]

That is an excellent video. The new Enduras look great. I may have to get another soon. I tear my pockets up with my gear as it is. I am carrying either an Atlantic Salt, Rescue, or Endura. I have trained to open it one handed upon pulling it from my pocket discretely, or if I am around an office environment then I pull it out slowly and non-offensively.

yeah the whole shot show seris was great, as all of his videos, anyway, im thinking im going to get him the blue or grey endura

Dont know if you are still looking into this knife or not for your fathers birthday, but yes both the full flat ground and the half groung (sabre grind) have same edge angles. The factor behind the two are that a full flat ground blade is a better slicer due to less material being in the slicing area, where with the non flat ground blade you have more material to pass when slicing. I owned a Spydie Endura (white) Frn and out of the both it was paper slicing sharp, had to touch it up for hair popping abilities.
