The Endura is certainly a classic folder, and one of my favorites, but I'm very surprised it's YOUR favorite....


After all, you seem to value toughness and lateral strength so heavily with your fixed blades, and the endura is definitely NOT known for its lateral strength and toughness. In fact, that long, skinny tip is LEGENDARY for breaking under moderate loads.

I've broken two endura tips myself, and seen a couple more break in daily use. I used to be part of a theater/tech crew, and almost every guy on that crew carried an endura, even after we started breaking them <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
