Endura 4 or Manix 2?

[Steel130]

Hey guys this is the toss up between my new EDC. I really like the looks of the endura but have heard that blade play is typical in Enduras? Weight is not an issue. I have to say that I am more partial to the Enduras looks but bladeplay is a peeve of mine when it comes to a 60 dollar knife.
thanks

Well, you can choose between vertical blade play(endura) or side to side blade play(manix 2). Also you might get lucky and get any of those without any play.

I have three FFG Enduras at the moment. They all lock up great without blade play. Most Manix 2's I've had/handled have locked up well. I have seen slight play in Endura's, but mainly with the old pinned models, not the 4's. A few dealers will hand pick a knife for you if you're really picky.

ThankS guys. I will just ask the place I order from to check before they ship it. I've heard of others doing the same from this store they have great CS.

I have not noticed blade play in either one.

Cool. It looks like the people talking about BP were in threads from 08.
