Boker Plus Ti Epicenter vs Spyderco Endura 4

they are completely different, the boker looks classier, and overall nicer, though the endura 4 is a great knife for the price, with plastic handles.
 
Boker vs anything = anything. Too many quality control problems with Boker, with frame locks in particular (which the Epicenter is)

I had a QC problem with my first (and only) Boker. It's the only knife I've ever returned for a replacement. If you choose the Boker, I would suggest emailing the dealer and asking them to hand pick a good one for you.
 
I just got an Endura with the plastic (frn) handles although it also has nested steel liners. It is a much lighter knife than I am used to. I had to force myself to carry it at first but it has grown on me and I love the thing.
 
Have never owned a Boker bc I have always just assumed that a manufacturer pumping large volumes of lower priced blades is more likely to have QC issues. I suppose there is some confirmation of my suspicions here. I had also never owned a Spyderco until a few days ago, and I must say that my new Manix2 XL is very likely to be my favorite knife (of ALL of my knives) for some time to come. I simply haven't seen another company offering similar materials and construction for the price. I feel like I got literally EVERY pennie's worth, and paid 0% markup for the name (which is more than I can say for some of my very favorite companies, IE Benchmade).
 
Same steel (but I think that vg10 from spyderco will be better) , boker has titanium handles and it is almost 2 times heavier...and price is very different :) boker is around 120-130$ and endura 4 60-70$.
You will have to decide what is better for you
 
Two very different knives. The Boker is a big knife, in the hand and the pocket. But it is a nice stout blade. Mine was nice. The newer Boker imports are very nice although the first run of the Epicenter had an issue with the two Ti slabs not being exactly matched. The later ones did not have this issue as far as I know. I have had several Boker imports of late and have found them excellent for the money. If you want a big handful of a knife, the Boker should put a smile on your face. If you want something slimmer, lighter and overall smaller knife I hear the Endura is a fine knife.
