@X4CTO ah, i remember seeing your take down vid and i thought maybe there was only one, which meant my new FREE mini grip had an advantage over the full size ones.
HAHA! Well as far as I know they're all that way. I've not taken apart a lot of the different style of BM Axis locking knives... but I assume that's going to be standard so that both sides of the Axis bar remain with forward tension.
Enjoy your new FREE mini Grip my brother... can beat FREE! HAHA!
The Griptilians are good knives... just gotta be careful with those omega springs. You can always send it in to Benchmade anyway... so just use it and enjoy it.
@shawn4201111 i played with the axis and put it through some shit the lockback was the control test and the axis did not fail and the lockback did the lock back was not a cheap 1 either it was a buck 110 the only reason i used a 110 was because i have one from the first run and a new one as you might have guessed it was the new one
Well the Buck 110 is a very nice classic blade, but I think the Endura's lock is much stronger with it's mid back lock... gives increased locking strength, it's all physics.
I've had just the opposite results in my use... since this video I've experienced two omega spring failures and never any failures on my Enduras... I tested them all after watching a video on something here about 2 months ago... all 15 Enduras excelled perfectly.
@X4CTO iv'e been through 3 endura 4s but the work i do is extremely heavy. im always cutting through some really thick zip ties and allot of synthetics that are extremely harsh on a blades locking mechanism.
Well if you're going through Enduras then might I suggest a Cold Steel with the TriAd lock? That's one of the strongest lock mechanisms you can ask for right there... I love it. I've heard others mentioning the play in an Endura's lock bar, but I don't have that problem in mine to be honest... granted I don't use a folder to do extremely hard use tasks though. I have my fixed blades for that.
The Izula is a great one for sure... and Blade HQ has them in green and red coating as well... pretty damn sweet. I like the knife quite a bit... I don't have one personally, but a friend of mine that I practice Kali with has one and she carries it as her SD fixed blade... she's pretty wicked fast with it too. =)
I don't have a problem with the Axis lock's strength when engaged, the only problem I have is that the only thing keeping it engaged is the thin little omega springs... if those fail then you have a problem. That being said, I do like the smoother blade action due to the Axis style locks, but then again they sometimes are easier to open accidentally than a lockback, frame lock, or liner lock. Any lock can fail under the right circumstances I guess, but I just like the lockbacks best personally.
These videos kill me a little bit inside lol here in europe you pay like 120 dollars for the Benchmade and 100 dollars for the Endura, they are really expensive.. Oh, how I wish I was born in USA xD
I have never had an Endura open on me accidentally. I talked about it during the "Blade Retention" category in this comparison and discussed the differences. Endura has a better blade retention.
LMAO, I wonder which one's gonna win! But yeah, those look like good knives. I must say I prefer the looks of the Griptilian better, but the rest of the stuff you talked about makes sense.
Yeah I just prefer a tighter pivot most of the time. I might actually mess around with it and see if I can find a sweet spot too, but I just haven't carried the Griptilian that much yet to be honest.
@Spydermade64 what the fuck do you mean who am i your high i mean no no what asshole make up your mind i said big old fat pair of tities lol ande i love who you started this in the beginning like ufc lol and you said no dumbass i not going tell you this shit your probably a rapist pedophile and that wasn't you on the dirtbike you just a pedophile asshole so fuck off
Love the comparison but I hate it that everyone seems to be taking advantage of this new 15 minute video length. Long vids bore me (with exception of this guy, being the redneck gangsta that he is).
Great comparison review man. Sad to say I haven't added the Endura to my collection yet (I know I'm a slacker). I do have the MiniGrip (556 modified drop point) and the Delica (4 FFG). Thanks to your review I will have to pick up a Endura 4).
do the full size grippys have 2 omega springs?

Yes indeed my brother... as far as I know all Axis locks include 2 omega springs... that is to say, I've never seen one with only one spring.

I'm looking for ambidextrous edc knife. Which one is better at keeping the blade folded (self-opened proof) ?
I have seen 'tenacious cut' video. Self-opened knife is nasty and it's a deal breaker for me. Tnx.
