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.

Ya, you’d think he’d be a Extrema Ratio RAO kinda guy… <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

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.

Mine are Endura fours. Have you checked one of them out? I heard it’s thicker than the earlier thin tip ones. I’ve not had any problems with any of mine.
