The PM2 blade is too short [3.44" with 3.0" cutting edge]. The Military2 is too long [4.0" with 3.7" cutting edge]. The Endura 4 has the perfect blade length for me [3.75" with 3.4" cutting edge].
The reason I think the Military2 is too long is because I'm shy about whipping it out in front of people at work because it's big and scary. My Endura4 is the biggest knife that I use in front of coworkers, even though it's only a tad shorter, because the blade is less heavy duty/aggressive, and also it has friendly looking blue scales. My Para2, which I've carried regularly for over a decade, now feels short. And the Military has such a long handle that I have to scoot my hand up to the spydie hole when I pull it out of my pocket.
I'm not sure if blade length or edge length contributes more to the perception of length. There's also the choil which has some interplay with received length, but my Endura has never felt lacking without a choil.
I've carried an Endura for a couple years now and it's great, but isn't as premium feeling as the other two. The back lock is bland and the materials are meh. It has a good form factor though and is nimble for it's size. It's just not quite what I want. Any suggestions?
