For me Endura3 (I only have the serie 3) is a "little bit above than small" knife. Endura with Cara Cara side-by-side is the minimum size of EDC knifes for me. Some days I carried a Cold Steel 5inch Vaquero with ease. I never found it uncomfortably big. So EDC-ing an Endura is not a nonsense thing. In these days I have my Cara Cara and Police SS in the EDC rotation, since the Enudra3 is discontinued. I always think about that I sould buy an Endura4, but I simply don't need it. My favorit E4 would be the combination of the G10 handles with full scale liners + some waved blade. It would be a very good combination for SD, because the full scale liners are very hard hitting as a melee weapon. Anyway, for EDC my Cara Cara G10 is simply perfect, I think I could by a yellow Pacific Salt for holiday season, near the sea.amen74 wrote:The Endura is a lightweight large knife. Great EDC IMO.
Until you carry a Millie, then it feels like a Delica.
Edc The Endura4
Rusty blades are awful.
Girls with rusty hair are wonderful!!!

I use my para mil, bm 710 and sebenza all quit a bit (all on rotation) and I find them all to be great. The para is a little smaller than the endura and the 710 and seb are about the same size. I find them all to be great. If you find it a bit large, downsiing a bit is fine. I have mainly carried my 710 in the last couple years and I dont really notice the smaller size of the para (not a small knife either though). Id just check it out in person or edc it for a few weeks if you already own it.
Edit: Just wanted to add that even though I mainly edcd a bm 710 for a few years I always had my trusty spyderco jestr on my keys :) love that little bugger

I love the Endura4 (with the ZDP-189 :D ). Though I agree that it's probably a little too much knife if one is around NKP, I think it's the perfect size for most of what I do. When one considers its thin profile and light FRN handles, I don't even know it's there most of the time (which has been a problem in the past when I have to go to the airport :o )
