So I am kinda bored with my current collection

I guess I need something new, but id want to get something thats zdp-189. I see alot of different models to choose from but I don't really see a finite list. Im sorry. but while in school, I don't have the time to be as active on the forums as I would like. So I haven't had any SE blades yes and don't have any experience with em, so that may be a option.
I like the new calypso jr, but I dont see why I would want a laminated blade over a solid zdp delica. It seems like the delica would be the better bet.
Help me out.
new knife
What about a hawkbill? It would a nice blade variation you don't have.
If you want to try ZDP-189 in a knife besides the Calypso Jr. and Delica, the Jess Horn was also released in ZDP-189. There should be some more models with ZDP-189 (the Endura?) I think the laminated blade with 420J2 is supposed to add some strength to the blade, but I am not sure about that.
Do you have a specific task designed for your future knife?

Thats a pretty freakin nice collection....
ZDP is good stuff. But your current collection can do a similar job when it comes to heavy cutting IMO. To me, ZDP's a "nice to have" but not a "need to have" kind-of-thing...
I've got the ZDP SE D4 and like it alot: aggressive cutter with razor sharpness in a small package. Love to put the serrated teeth to cardboard - like buttah baby!
I say if you've got the disposable income and can find one at a reasonable price- go for it!

Hi Vincent.
I see you still stick to the Millie
Yet I think a ZDP Endura could prove a useful adition as well. :) The Delica is fine, but it could be a little too small for your hands, that's why I proposed the Endura.

I've got big hands myself Vincent and the ZDP Delica 4 just fits my hands. Nothing less and certainly nothing more 
If you can live with that then the Delica will suit you nicely.
Otherwise I would wait for the ZDP Endura/SE hitting the streets
