This is why I don't order from anyone on amazon unless its amazon or filled by amazon.

I will definitley be cautious in the future, it was the only one available at the time though. Oh well, there are a couple others I have my eyes on...

Like the Southard. :dr

The Mcusta has to wait, I ordered a limited edition Brous SS Flipper with titanium liners and carbon fiber scales.

Ordered a Brous SS neck knife to compliment my Brous SS Flipper with a different blade shape.

Also ordered a cheap little Boker Nano frame lock, hard to justify paying 6 times as much for the Curtiss:

A teeny tiny Victorinox Rally Swiss Army Knife...the one with that just over an inch blade and a bottle opener that has faithfully accompany me since college.

But now I have my eyes on one of those Swiss Army Cigar Kinfe...anybody using them? If yes, how are they? Does the three punches work?

Gonna be a lot of new ZTs coming out this year, might want to wait for them. Or wait for the prices to drop on the old models. :2
personally I am not a fan of flippers, I will prolly never buy another one. I can't see your picture but I love stonewashed blades.

emopunker2004 02-18-2013 07:23 AM

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 
This one is only $120 new from kershaw guy. or i may pick up a Blem of the black version from him for $95.

I want a 0566 but it'll be almost 2014 before they're available enough for someone to get them at good prices. Always works like that with ZT. Happened with the 0560 last year.

Blak Smyth 02-18-2013 07:26 AM

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 
I really hate the 0770, I love my 0550 Gen2 though so I feel like I need no other ZT for now.
I don't see myself buying many more production knives. I am gonna focus on customs but not going to be buying many.
My Michael Morris Friction is on order and paid for so I am looking forward to that getting finished.

I do really want a Strider though... and the XM18 non flipper... I am a big fan of the Warren Thomas customs too but would I ever use it? Prolly not, they are too beautiful.

emopunker2004 02-18-2013 07:30 AM

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 
The new 0566 is going to be like a cross between the 0560 and 0550 but smaller, and be assisted like the 0350.

How to u like that lil boker?

I really like it, I am glad I didn't buy the real Curtiss since the Boker is so well made. It is super solid, but even smaller than I thought. I can make it completely dissapear in my hand when closed. The only two knives I would recomend to somebody for under $50 is the Skyline and the Boker Nano. :tu

I do not like assisted knives, I carry a knife as a tool not as a weapon so for me speed isn't an issue as much as durability.
Simple is better for my tastes, I love frame locks more than anything. Ti frame locks make me drool. I wish the Brous SSF I have wasn't a flipper and I wish it was a frame lock.

emopunker2004 02-18-2013 07:38 AM

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 
yeh well it's a ZT so it'll be durable. you can take the spring out and use it as a manual folder too though.

No new EDC for me. Made it to the gun show yesterday, nothing really caught my eye, except for a CRK small sebenza, dude was asking over MSRP on it so I walked away.

As nice as those are, I am not in love with the the design. To me the Sebbies are extremely boring, now that may be another story if I ever held one. Personally, without handling either, I would rather have a Strider.

I've held both the Strider SMF and the Sebenza, both are great knives, but I'd buy the Sebenza first. I really like the way the sebenza feels and it would more than serve my needs. I saw a nice selection of Dalton's as well, but I couldn't bring myself to look at them too seriously, the one I have has sat in the safe since I read about his retirement.

Blak Smyth 02-18-2013 12:30 PM

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 
Which Dalton do you have? Picture?
I promise myself to use my knives without fear no matter how much I spend on them.
I learned that from cigars, you will enjoy it much more smoking it than storing it.
The nice thing about a knife is isn't one use like a cigar.

I also do not collect to resale, I buy to enjoy. I don't think I could part with any of my nice knives.
Of course I try to buy knives in different sizes, brands and styles.
Some people have 12 Spydercos that are all very similar, I can't relate to that. Haha
The closest I have is two Brous blades but they are both different blade shapes and one is fixed and the other is a folder.
D2 tool steel is one of the best steels so I was able to justify these two blades of the same brand.

Does the Sebbie feel "that" amazing when you open it? I would like to try one out someday.

I buy knives with full intent to carry and use them, but something about knowing that the Dalton will never be made again makes me not want to carry it. Honestly I'll probably try to sell it somewhere down the road to fund the Sebbie purchase. And yes, it really does feel that amazing, the tolerances are so tight and lockup is very secure. When I buy one, it will probably be the last knife I purchase.

:tu Cool thanks for sharing man. I will have to get my hands on the Sebbie someday. I still love the Striders though, they are so different than anything else out there. Maybe after I hold a Sebbie I will sell all my knives and buy it :r

Re: (Official?) Pocket Knife Discussion Thread
 
I'm thinking the Dalton and Microtech SOCOM-A could fully fund my Sebbie. The SOCOM is a great knife, just a little too much knife for my EDC needs.

I love this thing. It just feels like it's built like a tank. Especially compared to my Kershaw Blur

I wanna get a ZT0200 and have a guy make it look like this but with a different color and style grip scales.

Great looking Sebbie Greg!!! I think I'm going to sell off my Dalton and Microtech SOCOM to fund the purchase of one like it.

Any of the knife gurus have any idea what the Dalton pictured above (or a page or two back depending on your settings) may be currently?

The SOCOM I believe is an elite-a from 2002, not sure what they're going for either, any help with a value is appreciated.

It's like having a cigar you never smoke. Unless you plan to sell it, just use it with pride!
I am back to carrying my 0550 G2, love this knife. I really have no interest in any other ZTs, for me this is a perfect knife. Just need to find a nice scale for it, can't find any I like enough to spend $50-$100 on.

Thanks, I'll try blade forums and microholics this weekend. No EB for these knives unfortunately...learned my lesson trying to sell autos on there already.
