So disappointed in my recent warrant experience. (11/2024) Scissors were not tight on my new ARC Obs, so I sent them in. After a month and a few unanswered emails, I called and waited over an hour. I spoke to a nice girl who told me that I should have been contacted to tell me they couldn't find a problem. I never got any call, email, etc. I hope it was just an oversite and a one time thing. Other than this experience, I would say my past experiences have been stellar!

The nice thing with the anodized alu is you can tell how much someone has actually used their knife. If it was used regularly you see clear wear/fade marks. This knife barely looks worn. A 5 year review on a knife that mostly just sat there is a bit misleading imo.

@@rickym1889 not sure how that's possible, the anodizing literally wears off from handling it (i.e holding it in your hand and cutting things). I'm not talking about abuse or improper use, simply taking it out of the drawer regularly or having it in your pocket

If I can't co-witness with the iron sights I want a quick detach feature to remove the optic in case that's needed. That means I would probably just use a picatinny rail with a holosun QD picatinny mount.

I have had the Endura 4 (drop point blade, VG-10 steel) for 5 or 6 years now. Was out on the boat the other day and lost it, bought a new one next day (Endura 4, Wharnecliffe blade, K390 steel). Then I found my original one! Sweet! Now I have two. Overall best knife I have owned. I'm interested to see how I like the K390 steel and the Wharnecliffe blade; so far I like both better.
@Heikki_Finland6 ай бұрын
That's why they are so expensive. The Wave is worth some 50 $, but you pay 100 $ so if it breaks, you'll get a new one that you already paid for. It's as simple as that. I'd rather buy it cheaper without warranty because i know i never abuse it. It's me that is forced to pay for other people's abusement. I'd prefer a self service system with a lot of spare parts available, this way you could even modify it to match your needs. I could break a couple of tool every now and then and it would still be cheaper to repair than having that warranty. The warranty doesn't cover if you lose the multitool. In that case you'd wish they were cheaper.

It’s basically the one folder to rule them all. Yes, plenty of folders have better steels, but they are more expensive and harder to sharpen. Yes, plenty of knives are more robust, but how often do you need to baton with a folder? Lots of folders do lots of things better, but the Endura is the ultimate in folding knives as general purpose utility tools that anyone can afford and maintain.
