Hey guys, looking into buying a Spyderco Endura 4. Any advise to get the cheaper VG-10 (61$) or the around 30% more expensive ZDP-189 (89$)? I read a lot of different things on the net, so now I´m asking the guys that really should know it  Thanks bros!

I have the ZDP-189 endura 4
I like it, but be aware the steel stains super easy
Mine stained just from sweat
Since mine is a user I don't care, but others might

Any of you Dogs score the new ZT 0452? I'm drooling over that one.
Also, over on BF Spyderco sub forum, there's a thread on new upcoming knives. They are coming out with a crazy cool Persian called the Mamba and an updated version of the Gayle Bradley that looks amazing.

The Mamba looks great, but HUGE! I don't know I could walk around with that. The Manix2 and The PM2 are about as big a folder I can have without the locals fainting... MM

Lot 'o' knife there for sure!
I got into bigger folders the last couple of years and my Para 2 and Griptilian are among my smaller folders now. That new ZT is no little fella either- the blade is over 4".
The Mamba design just looks awesome. Don't think I'll ever carry my Emerson Persian, but the design is just so cool I really enjoy it.

Man that is a nice blade Rich. But I think I would find the small Para more useful to me, at least most of the time. I have this weird blade for "Social Encounters" that I hope never happens. ![[Linked Image from farm4.staticflickr.com]](https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3805/9928798095_5d7fc3dc75_o.jpg) OR if you want to go for the more conventional look, this ![[Linked Image from farm6.staticflickr.com]](https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5499/12298358436_dd20d3bbb8_o.jpg)
