Confused: Skeletool CX vs SpyderCo Endura
Hi guys,
I was hijacked and mugged of my trusty leatherman knife(had 2 screwdriver bits,420HC blade and a carabiner/bottle opener). That knife was extremely useful to me!
Now I like useful tools. Every now and then I need a tool of sorts when other tools are not around.
The Skeletool CX has a 154CM blade which I understand is not bad steel at all. But reading on another thread I saw the SpyderCo Endura is reasonably priced.
I want to kill two birds with one stone. I want to carry a knife that has a few tools other than the blade. Leaning to the Skeletool. I also, with training(anything in the Vaal?) want to be able to wield the blade. Will the skeletool be able to do this? I haven't tried deploying it quickly.
Expert opinion anyone?
Thanks

A skelatool is by no means a sd blade. Nor is the endura a multitool. The skelatool would make a terrable tool to wield for personal protection. The endura cant double for a scredriver. Between the two: if you want a multitool, get the skel. If you want a knife get the endura.

^^^ ditto. You can't compare the two.

I still don't get what makes the skeletool so bad? Primarily I want to use it for self-defense while I don't have my gun. With training of course. Any training in the Vaal that anyone knows of?

Do the traing before you buy a knife. You'll soon see why the skeletool won't work when you cant get it out and open while under attack.
Go see youtube videos on the spyderco endura wave, and see for yourself.
The skeletool is just that, a tool. It CAN be used for SD, but not nearly as efficiently as the spyderco.

I have one of these: http://www.kershawknives.com/product...&brand=kershaw
Great tool and it was only R400. I still don't think it will replace a proper SD blade if you lie in a dodgey area or whatever but it is great for my needs. It seems to pop out into use more frequently than my leatherman these days.
