Handle - Endura vs Delica vs Endela

I must have missed some notifications! The Caly 3.5 looks okay, but as far as actual design goes, it's pretty hard to beat the Resilience for cutting edge coming right to the handle, and a handle you can safely grip right up to the cutting edge - with no choil. I don't like choils, finger, sharpening, or otherwise. But that's just me. For many, I am sure the Caly 3.5 would be the perfect knife solution.

Was that your modded resilience? I own both of those models so I'm familiar with the original profile. Looks like it turned out pretty nice.

Yessir it was. Thank you. Here are all my Resiliences as they are now. All have received from my hand: extra skeletonized liners, chamfered scales, detent ramps, thinly reground blades and radiused spines. Some are totally reprofiled into new designs in their own right. And they have all had "China" deleted as well. Because the work that made these knives go from good budget knives with decent performance to high quality, high performance and highly favored tools, took place right here in my tiny shop in Canada.

Speaking of which, the wharncliffe at the top is my shop knife, and it gets most used on cardboard and Kydex, though it has been used on drywall and other odd jobs. It's kind of my beater.

The bottom one is my favorite, and my back right pocket EDC. It is basically an 8Cr13MoV Military, and because of extra skeletonizing and the material removed form the blade, weighs in at a featherweight 4.4 oz, a tenth of an ounce less than the factory Military, with 1/4" longer blade, and almost a full inch longer cutting edge. And 8Cr is very tough, tougher in my experience than S30V, so it should be able to handle thinner geometries and edges than S30V or most of the high alloy steels for that matter.

The three in the middle are sort of like backups I guess, with the one second from the bottom being essentially a deluxified Resilience with no major design overhauls.

And the second one from the top I guess is like a PM2, also with better blade to handle length ratio.

I have been selling off my folder collection, but these here are keepers, because they get used, and they do an absolutely fantastic job at covering all my bases for folding knife tasks.
