Spyderco Endura G-10 vs. Spyderco Military

[SuicideFO]

Both very similar in size, weight and price(Endura a little cheaper). Both G-10's. Endura having a lock-back and the Military a liner-lock. Endura blade is VG-10, Military is CPM S30V.

I love both of these blades, but if you had to chose between the two, which one?
Thanks

Military. The blade has the perfect profile for cutting the largest variety of things, add in the long handle and fly weight construction you have a killer that cannot be beat.

I personally prefer the blade shape of the Endura over the Military, but not enough to choose the Endura. For the minimal upgrade in cost, you get S30V steel in the Millie. It is also more comfortable IMO, and I prefer the liner lock. One thing to consider though is the Millie is right hand tip down carry only (that I know of); the Endura is Tip up or down, LH or RH, if that matters to you at all.

I just got my first Military today. Though I love the blade to handle ratio, the slimness and the ultra light weight I've just realised that I should have gotten the FFG G10 Endura instead. I feel it's a bit too light for my liking and the back lock just feels so much more secure in my hand compared to the liner lock on the Military. I know it has been said that the lock on the Military is very secure and strong but that's what I feel anyway. If you're a lefty like me the Military may not be the best choice as the linerlock and non-reversible clips makes it too cumbersome to use. The width difference is not too much different. Weight wise some people prefer something lighter and if weight is a big factor for you then yes the Military may be the better choice.
