@tmg:

After deciding against trying to import the Zing, (the distinct possibility of customs charges and hassle really put me off), I then found Heinnies, and have spent the last day browsing their extensive selection….......to the point that I'm now down to a shortlist of 5,
Spyderco Tenacious
Rough Rider Trapper
Spyderco Kiwi
Kershaw Zing
Boker Plus Subcom 42 Ti

Any advice?

I know that only the Rough Rider, Kiwi and Subcom are UK legal, but I would use the other choices for outdoor stuff anyway, so that isn't too much of an issue for me.

I always go Kershaw. I'm very brand loyal to them

Spyderco is ok, I don't like the way their knives look pretty much universally

Bokers are ok as well, but that knife looks really uncomfortable in the hand

[Seul]

I'm sure out of the 3, the Kershaw 's the cheapest, no?.. I had some issues with Böker… Let's just say that you should hope and pray nothing goes wrong with your knife as service = 0...

So yeah: Kershaw... And if you want, I'll order a Zing for you with my order and ship it to you (for free).

[DougNg]

Rough rider is probably the cheapest

[Seul]

And the ugliest imo… Never liked that kind of stuff...

[derivative666]

Seul do you have large or small Sebenza?

[Seul]

Small - I have small hands… Which in itself disproves the theory about small-handed men having small... Well you know what...

[Giles]

Egos?

Feet?

my new toy strictly for home use….ONLY

But do let me know either way asap, as I want to pay him within 24 hours…

@Seul:

And I'm the exact opposite. I much prefer a trapper over the rest

Seul/Doug - thanks for the advice guys, much appreciated! Since I'm torn between the traditional stye and the modern fast-openers, I'm going to get both the Rough Rider and a Kershaw…..Seul, I'd like to take you up on your very kind offer, expect a PM shortly

Michael, that Enzo looks very slick, and I'll keep it in mind for the future.

If you find yourself wanting to spend more money: Zero Tolerance makes fantastic knives and is a subsidiary of Kershaw. Northfield Knives is the way to go in the realm of traditionals

Personally, I carry a Victorinox Electrician on a daily basis

Ordered:

• one Kershaw Zing, black, plain blade (which is so awesome) for one tmg

• one Kershaw Scallop, black for myself… They're smaller than the Zing but I like 'm!..

great thread this one

i was wondering if anybody has a large regular sebenza for sale? i'm feeling the urge again. I got rid of my small 21, large classic and now just have the small regular but i think i need the large regular to go with it

[Seul]

The Sebenza's back baby!.. Opens and closes so smoothly again… Sharp as a razor... Guy charged me 4 €... Yeah: I know I should just learn to do it meself but for 4 € I can't be arsed... I'll just let him do it every couple of months...

One quite weird thing, though… There was half a bandaid in my box...  :o
