Lost Endura...need help selecting next folder

[Pathfinder26]

Last weekend I dropped my Endura in 75' of water in the Gulf of Mexico. Got in a hurry to cut an anchor rope and didn't use the lanyard ! Bought that knife when I was in the Army and it served me well for 5 years...a real loss.

Rather than buying a new Endura, thought I might try something new.

Here are the specifications that I am looking for:
* 4" blade

* Would like a thick bellied blade similar to that of a Sebenza. I am not real fond of the narrow/sharp point of the Endura in rough water.

* Very light weight, so I can clip in swimsuit and wear comfortably.

* Lanyard hole !

* No serrations

* Not too expensive, since I spend alot of time around deep water.

* Ability to handle long exposure to saltwater and fish guts.

* One hand opening.

Any help/opinions are appreciated !

Spyderco Military seems to be what you want. www.spyderco.com Its blade is not to thick though, so also look into the Wegner.

toolin, good grab... beat me here.

The spyderco Military or Wegner(senior) would be the best choices with your options.

I guess www.spyderco.com forum members think alike.

toolin> what's your name over at spydie world? don't remember seeing this one.

Maybe a Spydie Rescue or Pro-Grip Lightweight in plain edge.

This is a pretty good work knife for the price. Decent steel, broader point and you can get it in 50/50 for rope work. One of the best budget aluminum handled knives out there IMHO.
