Santa left a Full Flat ground VG-10, G-10 handle, Endura 4 on my doorstep yesterday.

Compared to my Kreined FRN E4, this knife has a nice heft, and with the thicker liners and G-10 scales, it is significantly stiffer, and I would guess an ounce heavier.

This knife gives the Military a run for it's money, at significantly less money. True, it isn't S30V, but VG-10 is no slouch and is considered a "premium" steel. Give the edge to the Millie in handle ergos and steel performance, but at a $70 price point, the G10 Endura 4 is a giant killer.

It is pretty large for an EDC, but still an easy carry with it's slim profile.

Comparison PICS to come later.
 
Congrats. I've got one on order, but it didn't make it in time for Santa to pass out. Looking forward to pics and review.
 
I got mine yesterday. It is a great knife and will make a good edc. I have carried an Endura 4 on duty since they came out. Great duty knife. This FFG Endura should cut very, very well. The police model is too large to legally carry here. I think the G10 Endura will be a suitable replacement.
 
Not my best efforts, but man after the guests left, dishes were washed, and kiddies put to bed, this is the best I could do.

I can't overstate how much more heft and strength the thicker liners give to the E4. Much less flex at the pivot point. Also, this came as sharp as any Spyderco I've ever seen out of the box. The flat grind is the bomb when it comes to pure slicing prowess.

The G10 Endura almost feels like dare I say it, a "Hard use Folder" compared to the FRN!
