WOFT,

The Endura is a great knife for the money. I paid an inflated price for mine becasue I bought it here as an import. Brazil has it's availability problems too.

For me the most important feature was the pivot down carry. You don't have to manipulate the knife as much to get it open.
I would use it as a wilderness knife but I have better choices. My Spyderco is dedicated to defense and I just don't want to screw it up making fuzz sticks or something.

The edge it holds is truly amazing. I put the Endura in my "best buy" category. It's hard to go wrong with a classic. Their more expensive knives are stronger. Mac
