I'm getting itchy for a new edc knife. Watching YouTube videos until my eyes bleed. Trying to decide between a ZT0450 and the Spyderco Mantra. No stores where I could handle either. Leaning towards the Mantra but still not sure. Not a lot of Mantras out there.
Any feedback from you guys would be appreciated.
 
I've been eyeballing the Mantra 2 myself.
Been a while since I picked up a spyderco.

The zt450 is one of the few zt's I like...

I'd probably go with the new Spydie, and if I didn't like it I'd sell it on the forum and use the recouped funds for the zt.
 
That's a tough choice, I don't think you'd go wrong with either and I'd throw the ZT 808 in the mix also. Roll the dice.

Only considering the Mantra not the Mantra 2. I don't like the blade shape of the Mantra 2. Too pointy for my taste.
 
I had a ZT 0450 for a while and just ordered a Mantra 2. I sold the 450 because of the the thick grind, I wanted a slim edc knife that would slice well and the 450 had a very thick edge. Spyderco's tend to have thinner edged compared to other companies.
