Removed the Hump, Put a Bottom Choil on my Endura 4

#1

Post by spinynorman »

Hi - Always thought the Endura would fit my fingers better with a bottom choil, like the new Police 3, instead of the hump. So that's what I did on my FFG G10 Endura. About 5 minutes on the bench grinder, 5 filing, 5 polishing, 5 beveling, and 5 cleaning. And what a difference it makes for your index finger. Try it if you like your Endura. :) I attached four photos - not great but you get the idea from them... :)

Great work! That is a huge functional and visual improvement. I am a huge fan of finger choils, especially on a long blade like the Endura.

Nice work, the lack of 50/50 choil on the Endura's is the only thing that's stopped me buying one so far.

Very good work, missed choil in my opinion its the only weak point of this premium knife, with one factory choil in my opinion want be really perfect. One winner in price and capability..The missing choil meant a lot for me because i like very much folders with choils.

I think the bottom choil is a very good improvement to the Endura. I wish mine had one.
