    Question next purchase / worth the $$ ?

    hey guys,

    i need some advice concerning my next purchase - since i'm sitting here in austria and have minimum chances to get some cool knives from bf or ebay - i suffer from having to pay a lot of $ for my hobby.

    i have found some grail knives but i dont know if they're worth the money- they are all sprints or limited and are pretty rare.

    which one would you recommend ?

    s90V PM2 $350
    s90V Military $370
    m390 Military $370
    CTS XHP Military $290

    are the prices ok? considering shipping and taxes which adds up to 70 USD for getting stuff from US to europe - i think the prices are good.

    greetings

    I would say both s90v blades would be good to get while you can

    Delica and Endura are great knives! They're the low priced crack samples that'll get you hooked on spyderco! Feed the need!

    Either of the S90V would get my vote.

    Considering asking prices, I would certainly go for one of S90V blades
