Sharing (really helpful, thanks)

Really like them, actually!.. The red'un most of all… Seems to be good value for the money, right?..

[michaeljcr]

I think they're very good value, and the slip joint is great on both.

Ok y'all… I'm in need of a cheap knife that will shortly replace my Sebenza whilst it's being sent off for service…

Needs:

• cheap
• locking blade
• clip
• smaller or same size as Sebenza small (6.875" (175mm)
• don't care whether it's legal or not
• preferably easy to be found in €urope (on a site like Amazon or what have you not...)

Any and all recs will be looked into. All help appreciated. Cheers.

Thinking of going with a Spyderco... Less than 40 quid portpaid... Should I?..

Spyderco does not make assisted openers

I messed that up - didn't mean assisted opening, just need a knife you can open with one hand… 

[DougNg]

Kershaw Skyline is a favorite in that price range

Tons and tons of cool Kershaw knives… But me eye got caught on the Zing... Assisted opener but it'll be only used a couple of times so why the hell not... Have some fun ey... And I can get one for 30-35 € ppd... Brilliant!.. Thanks for the heads up, D!..

That's actually Jody's every day carry. It's a great knife. It was designed by RJ Martin, one of the nicest guys I've ever met. He gifted me a Zing when I had dinner at his house two years ago

Boom - purchased. Thanks a ton for all your help, D!.. I still can't thank you enough for pointing me in the direction of a Sebenza two years ago!..

@DougNg:

Check out the Kershaw Zing, it's not assisted, but it might as well be with how easily it opens

April 2010… Comes full circle 2 years later, haha...

picked up a CRK Tanto Small Sebenza.

Here's an image from the vendor's site - I say god damn this thing is crazy sharp!

I really like how slim it is, I've been carrying a Benchmade Mini Dejavoo Gold Class for a while, it's nice to free up some room in the pocket!

Great pick up!.. 

[Lucifer]

Tanto blades are so sexy!

[mankarat]

Whats the damage? $?

Its really a beautiful piece..

[RedStripe]

that is a lovely looking knife

Honestly: DouNg recommended me the Sebenza and I've been so fucking happy with it every day since I got one… I'm sure I'm abusing it but I'm having it serviced by a local sharpener this week if my backup knife arrives... Just needs a lick of oil, needs to be sharpened professionally, and hopefully he'll manage to replace the clip as well...

[rocket]

great purchase Jesselirola

did you order the Zing Seul?

[Seul]

Yeah - hopefully arriving tomorrow (at my place)…

I am beyond stoked about this purchase… Sure it's not Reeve quality, but for 30 € (!), this is just mindblowingly awesome!.. The assisted opener is tons of fun to play with, but I prefer the thumb stud… I'm pretty sure I will cut off a couple of fingers tomorrow during work, but I won't even regret it... Big thanks once again to DougNg for the brilliant advice!.. Cheers mate!..
