Thanks, I see what you mean, with the index finger its like “pinching” between finger and thumb, I’m going to try it that way for a bit and see if its better for me, a little awkward right now since im so used to using my thumb. On my clones the C-Lock is pretty stiff.

I agree, these C81 clones are my best CN knives and I have many. At this price it couldn’t be real S30v as marked, however it must be a decent steel because mine is holding an edge VERY well, I’d say its at least 8cr13MoV.
At nearly 9” and only 95g I think it will fit my needs well for a large, thin and lightweight knife for SD carry when wearing shorts and lightweight pants.
It’s actually about the same weight as my Large SOG Trident, which is EXTREMELY light, but I think this Endura4 is a lot thinner. If I really like it a lot I’ll eventually get the real one (probably the less expensive VG10 version)
Guys, I was thinking if we should create a thread of reputable AE stores selling sought after blades. This info is then constantly updated in OP. I think it’ll be easier for us all to refer to that list!
I have that exact model - I find it absolutely superb. My only very minor gripe is that the upper edge of the compression lock is a wee bit sharp so could do with the 90 degree angle softening a little with a file. I haven’t got round to doing it yet. I think mine worked out at about £17 but it is still incredible VFM.
Wow, I didn’t checked the shipping cost…only 30$, what a bargain… :Sp
Thank you FT, but not this time…I hate ordering from GB as well but if it’s the only choice well…will try
It’s a pleasant folder for the money. The chekering of the G10 is quite agressive so you don’t have to worry about having a firm grip on it. I chose the part serrated version :
I haven’t had many (any?) budget knives without blade play. It’s been a while though. Maybe they have gotten better. You guys are going to make me find out.
Thank you very much for explanations about compressor lock.
So, another question: if you have/can comparated them, which lock is better from a Spyderco clone (with compressor lock) and a “original” SpyderGanzo with linear lock?
In my opinion, the axis lock wins over the compression lock. In my use they are equal in safety, and both are fun to play with (flip-in-flip-out-…)
The ambidextrous axis lock makes the SpyderGanzo a winner
I can easily deploy the blade with left or right hand when needed
I also like the symmetry of it as there is no front/back side
Still waiting for the G731 Tri-Ad Lock (as if that will ever happen)
That lock is solid
