Much like was recently done to the Delica where the profile was modified to closely resemble the Paramilitary 2
I have began to develop the Endura into a Military looking lock back.
It was a rather easy matter to overlay the Military profile atop the Endura framework. The fact that the curvature of both knive's spines being so similar simplified things greatly. In the CAD drawing below you can see the Endura stainless liner profile represented by the orange line. As with the Delica/Lil'Para profile modification this Endura/Military project will also require a small amount of the liner nose to be removed. That is represented by the dotted red line in the upper image.
I did reduce or shrink the Military profile slightly to closely accommodate the Endura's stainless liners. That will potentially impact the ergonomics and grip comfort to what degree IF any will only be proven out by getting a prototype set in hand.
I'm presently working at machining a large backlog of requests so this project is stalled in the design stage for the time being.
I have been digitally 'doodling' a couple of texture and color ideas though
