These remarkable knives begin as stock Spyderco Endura Lightweights with stout saber-ground blades. Now, through an exclusive arrangement with 5x5 Combat Solutions, the Jandura is back! Ultimately, Janich partnered with Stay Safe Media and, for several years, offered a limited number of custom-modified Janduras for sale to the public. After that friend exercised his “bragging rights,” Janich’s other students quickly expressed interest in getting their own. When a close friend of his took notice of the knife, Janich gifted it to him and made another. Initially, Janich created only one “Jandura” for his own personal carry. He also removed the "jimping" (textured grooves) on the blade’s thumb ramp to work better with his preferred Filipino-style grip and polished the action to ensure smooth operation and rapid deployment. To solve that problem, Janich reground the blade of his personal Endura, in the process lowering its point to create more of a Wharncliffe-style edge that cuts with greater power and depth. The only disadvantage to this knife when Janich carried it was that, right out of the box, its blade exceeded the 3.5-inch legal limit in his home state of Colorado. One of his go-to choices for a personal-defense knife is the Spyderco® Endura® 4 Lightweight, because it is affordable, reliable, completely ambidextrous, and has a matching folding trainer available for it. Michael Janich is a world-renowned authority on personal-defense, edged-weapon tactics, and knife design.
