I just paid for the Endura. The problem is that we have few Spydercos available here, if any. Most are Byrdes. A Paramilitary costs 200€. Too much. I paid 69€ with shipping from US for my Endura, if I was a US resident it would be 55$, free shipping. So I have to settle with what I find. I read reviews and watched videos about the Endura 4 FFG that got excellent remarks. I allready like FRN handles in my Ladybug and the blade geometry. I also learned how to close it one handed (kept forgetting that there's no friction there), so I predict that we get fine. For later I'll keep in mind your suggestions. Thank you all.
Depends. I EDCed a Persistance until I saved up for my Delica 4 Emerson Open, my coworker EDCs a Endura 4 Combo Edge and I'm saving up for a Paramilitary 2.
I carry a few different ones from them and other brands. My native 5 g10 and manix 2 call my pocket home.
Nothing wrong with byrd if daily use is what you have in mind. In fact someone working in fishing industry (Pete?) has good opinion on byrd. Checkout his post on byrd subforum @ spyderco.com
Of the Spyderco's I own I usually end up with my Ti UKPK most of the time, but I have also been carrying the Techno a lot lately as well. Lot of options out there for you, good luck finding it.
I just got a UKPK and an Tenacious, love 'em both. Strangely my hunger for knives has died down quite a bit after getting the Spyderco's which were my first. With all the different knives out there to drool after, the form and function of a Spyderco is REALLY hard to beat even if the manufacturers thrown on the razzle dazzle like flippers and bearings etc...etc...
