Saw plenty of delicas and enduras in Iraq. Personally the same BM that I edc before enlisting was with me every day. I wouldn't deploy again with out my Zdp endura! And I would take an extra spydie rescue to give to my platoon doc so he could throw away what ever crkt pos was in his pocket.

S90v is my fav so far. It just keeps cutting. Been edc a BM contigo (m-4) and its pretty dam hard to dull it. Can't wait to try out K390. Zdp does well for me to as far as edge holding.

BM, hands down. While I have more than a few spydies and keep buying mules it's BM's that see the most edc use. Been the same 720 (pre production) has been my edc since 1997 ish. I am a huge axis lock fan! Wish I could get some spyder S90V shoe horned into an axis lock frame...

I have EDC'd an endura SE zdp-189 for several months now and I have to say it is holding its edge very well. I am an excavator by trade so the blade sees alot of use in dirty jobs like cutting erosion fence and tree roots that stick out in the ditch and bug me when I walk by. I work in Portland ...

For the love of god could we get a modle!! Not that there is a spydie I don't want but there are a couple that I really would like to have. Mostly anything with S90v or zdp-189, maybe even super blue.

Please dont take this the wrong way. Any gun is only as good as the guy holding it. If you only shoot a few times a year and you Know you only shoot once and a while by all means get a wheel gun.

I have the M390 mule and plan on using it for a hunting knife but I have been using the S90V for a couple years now and its edge holding is so good I don't want to use any thing else. I will try and force my self to use the M390 for deer and elk next year just to compare.
