Great video Mike! I have a better understanding about carrying a folder now. The solo training section is a great help. I'm planning on building the poles for training.

Mike modifies each one of these Endura's by hand as time allows. They are sold exclusively through Stay Safe Media. It's been a while since a batch was available. I picked up two of them last year. The other day, one of Mike's personal students posted a photo of his new modified Gen 4 Gray handle E...

Thanks guys the endura trainer is a great " knife" to practice with. I'm more comfortable with the endura than my delica. Now I'm thinking of getting the delica trainer to practice weak hand draw.

The Byrd Raven fits that bill cutting edge wise. It's also a very good looking knife, definitely one I want to check out, even though it's not named Spyderco. Again, it might be because I was just looking in the catalog but the Byrd Medowlark 2 is exactly that, a Delica with a choil. A lot of peopl...

Dragonfly 2 in ZDP189. You can take the clip off and you won't be able to feel it in your pocket. It is the perfect little knife. You can also get it on VG10 with G10 bit it weighs a little more due to the addition of liners. Your choice really. All I can say is that I have never been happier with ...

blade deployment physics?

I've been practicing my blade opening more and more and noticed my Delica 4 saber grind seams easier to open than my Delica FFG, but my Endua 4 saber grind is slower than my Endura FFG. Anyone can explain the physics behind this?
