Thanks! Im usually not either but i do like that one. Its actually the first endura i acquired and since have added about 6-7 more to the collection in different variations. I love how much blade it offers in an easy to carry lightweight package. Ive been hunting the G10 variant also but man are they pricey now that theyre discontinued. Im thinking i may just pick up the KC exclusive in pakkawood and hap40 as its the same handle/liner design with that thinner profile and cool backspacer (but in wood instead of G10) with better steel and is still readily available at a more attractive price.

There's alot to like about the Endura in all of it's variations. The Pakkawood is very tempting and it may be easier to find G10 scales to replace the wood in the future being that it has "full" liners (if I remember correctly).

Out of all the Kizers i own this one is my favorite. Damn good action with a thin hollow ground 3.75" chunk of s35vn in a thin and fairly lightweight package at just over 4 oz. good textured grip (for ti) and generously chamfered scales. It feels lighter than it is and with a 4.5" handle it packs maximum blade. Lockbar tension is good, easy to disengage, and the detent is decent making it flip pretty nicely. The 3D milled clip has good spring to it and overall i like it a lot. its just begging for an ano job.

How does the hogue ritter compare to the griptilian?

The Grip is a nice knife but could never warm up to the slappy action if you know what I mean which is the norm for the BM axis lock . Although similar Design with the Hogue Ritter able lock this one has a different feel more of a Hydraulic action it feels thicker and the blade doesn’t have the tendency slap back open when closing doing the traditional release the lock and flick . I like the feel in hand better and the texture and although subtle the egos feel better in hand .
I like the deep pocket clip and although some have complained about a hot spot I’m not feeling it but I am a lefty . Not feeling it in my right hand either but guess it’s just a matter of how sensitive your hand is and preference. I really like this knife a lot and it’s a great slicer with a bonus of m390 :thumbsup:
Edit: Also the able lock seems to be easier to release using just one side of the lock with your thumb although a slight heavier spring it stays more level and doesn’t kick to one side like my grip use to when trying to release causing binding.
