Surprised no one has pointed out the obvious... Not only is the lanyard a rip-off, last I checked the endura is big enough for a King Kong sized paw to fit entirely on the handle... Making a lanyard useless. Unless of course the idea is to add something to snag on your surroundings so that you may bless a passerby with the finders-keepers treat of a lifetime.
Ive been waiting for quite awhile for an Endura to show up here. Was super excited to see ZDP-189 as an option with a Spyderco lanyard to boot! What could go wrong? Oh yeah.....the price is retarted as all hell. Took all of 20 seconds to find a better deal elsewhere.
Most spydercos have been available with this same/similar scale design for, what, two decades plus? Their inherent fuglyness is kind of a given by this point, so I thought you may be new to knives. My apologies. They are extremely light weight, grippy and cheap though.
You are also correct that it definitely is not a good deal, unless foreign shipping makes amazon or other US retailers a no-go for your location.
NotsurewhyibotherNo worries. I still will take my recon 1 (original) over any Spyder , zt, kizer, bench etc. It's saved my life in self defense, digging fire pits, and climbing.
Perhaps a better future endeavor would be to collaborate and come up with a drop consisting of a G10-handled Endura instead ? For the right price, I'd definitely jump in on that .
