Or the people in the Goddard thread were right.

Sorry for the paper towel backdrop. I needed contrast for the Endura to show up on a brown kitchen table.

My main concern when I was considering purchasing this knife was that the knife had no liners. As with my Kershaw Piston, this fear was unfounded. If properly used, just as the sub-forumites told me, this knife should last many years.

However, I still would not use this knife hard. It should be fine as an EDC cuttingcardboard, twist ties and the odd sandwich. I also would not put pressure on the side of the blade by prying since the pivot is pinned. The thing to remember is that this is a cutting tool and not a crow bar.

If you have any questions about the knife let me know.

It looks awesome i kinda want one, but I just can't get into lock-backs. I love my delica for super-light EDC, but frankly unless im going to the gym weight isnt that big of a deal for me. This knife looks great, and I bet is amazingly functional. Why should I buy this is my real question. This over an endura? I guess im trying to justify this purchase or saving the money for another more awesome spyderco.

You have asked a hard question. My Endura is my (current) all time favorite Spydie. Weight means nothing to me. It doesn't even enter my mind when making a purchase.

As to whether you should buy it or not: that is your decision. I would feel terrible if I recommended one or the other and you didn't like the one I recommended. I usually find that I know the answer to what I want to do but I won't let myself do it.

Goodeyesniper, glad to hear you are using your knife!
