    Seen a similar thread on another forum, and thought it a cool idea. Show us your purtiest knife!

    This one is beautiful to me. Was going to put Python Micarta scales on the handle, but decided to wrap it with para cord eventually.

    I wish I could afford one of the " Zero Tolerance " knives.....I have wanted the model like Leroy Gibbs carried on NCIS.....Super cool knife....just a tad more than I can afford to put into an EDC...but still one of the coolest looking knives I've ever seen......So....guess I'll just be carrying these Spyderco's for a while .....

    Not a dang thing wrong with Spiderco. If we’re being honest tho, check amazon of all places. They have this knife for like $139.

    It’s got S30V steel in it, which In my opinion is better than D2 tool steel. Hard to sharpen but holds an edge like no other!

    Remember gentlemen . . . that ZT ^^^ is a liner lock. --- SAWMAN


    I've been using liner locks from various quality companies for 40+ years without an issue. I must be using them wrong because the internet tells me I'm going to die and/or become infertile, but it hasn't happened yet. :noidea:

    Damn guys . . . please quote me where I stated that liner locks were shit.
    I simply wanted the guys above to know that ZT makes several varieties of fold outs. Some of which have a frame lock.
    What's best for you don,is just that,best for you.
    Jeeeeze !! --- SAWMAN

    not in love with the lock on these, high carbon blades, sharpens well, inexpensive, but dangerous to fingers..

    collar rotates around to lock blade, but easy to move or loosen

    Had a few of those over the years, and have a few in the safe now. I use them with thumb and finger pinching the collar to ensure it does not slip. They do cut and sharpen well!

    I had one of these for a week and sold it. I was too afraid i would lose it as i had a couple other knives ( never lose my gun or light though) . They are a great knife and i think better than benchmade although some disagree.

    They sharpen up easier than 156CM steel in my benchmade knives. Which is odd. But they do.

    Here's one I had a dude up in AL forge for me a couple years ago. I've got him working on a custom kukri for me now.

    The Chris Reeves brand has been around for quite some time now.
    Back in the day I had several chances to buy the brand at a discount. Missed that opportunity,sadly.
    I seem to remember that the entire knife was made out of a single piece of material.
    Great blades there. BUT . . . just one question . . . why does it look so good. --- SAWMAN
