How about the Baby Jess Horn? It has the same construction and is available at Sooner State Knives and at Hand-tools.com.

nice little knife... but the blade is even smaller than Delica. My Caly 3.5 in ZDP, while not with G10 but Carbon comes closer to Endura :)

Does anyone remember what the price was originally on the G10 Delica from St Nick's? I know that was expensive enough that it was a slow seller and had to be discounted multiple times. I'd imagine an Endura would be priced in such a way that it would be a similarly slow seller.

It was $189.

St. Nick's Exclusive Delica with DLC Coated HAP40/SUS410 and Red G-10 is $189.00 and the BladeHQ Exclusive Para3 with DLC Coated CPM-M4 and Natural G-10 is $154.95. No contest in price at a $34 difference and the lower priced one gets you the better steel!

A G10 Endura is my dream knife. Magnacut, Cruwear, K390, heck I'd even take H1! Throw a deep carry clip on that badboy and I'd be set!

The Endura G10 is very heavy

I have one and it’s in a drawer

I replaced the factory black pocket clip with a unpainted one because I thought it looked better with foliage green

I think I’ve touched it up once

I carry an Endura every day for work and like the platform but, I like lightweight knives mo better

Giant, howsabout a G10 Rookie? Found one over on KnifeHub. Price seems steep for VG-10, but they aren't making any more. ;)

I’m not a Giant unfortunately, but Rookie is high on my wish list for sure.

Also I remember Sal told about new Calypso in the works. This one may be pretty close or even nicer than Endura in some way

It would be cool if the Rookie made a Police 4 based comeback as a 3.5ish inch blade "mini" Police.

I have eBay search set for a few months and so far there was just one G10 foliage green Endura for 250 usd from US (I'm in Europe). I was considering to get it but it is gone now. Still think she deserve it's palce in the current portfolio.

I agree, aftermarket and custom scales are the options, but not as nice as factory full steel liners and backspacer.
There is one craftsmen in my country who make micarta scales for Native Chief and recently did micarta Endura without liners... Will try it one of mine Enduras or Pacific Salt.

I listed one on Bladeforums with no takers and International shipping.

I'll take an exclusive delica/endela/endura in g10. I really wanted the g10 police 4 because I love full liners and backspacere, but I cannot use a 4"+ knife

I’de be interested in a g10 endura or police model.

I have the pakkawood endura and really like it, I’m a bit afraid of losing it. The scales are a bit slick, I lost it once luckily in the couch.
A g10 version would feel much better in hand.

I had the G-10 Police 4 in K390 but sold it because it was too large and it rusted really easily just from fondling.
