[RedStripe]

got it wrong >:(, its a buck 112,
still love this knife, even though I've added a few modern folders recently. Shame the british law is so blinkered (imo!)

edit, the edge looks pretty ragged there, more work ahead… ???

[natehate]

my pick ups from the weekend, more a old knife guy then modern

not a switch blade (god i wish it was) but still a pretty slick little italian made number
really dig the lock on it

very nice but illegal to wear or have in germany!
stupid german law…......that sucks!

[Seul]

It's illegal in Belgium as well…

Turned out that making new scales for the Griptilian is way harder than for a regular, fully-lined knife. The liner demands it's own cut-outs and so does the axis-lock mechanism. Decided to try out scalemaking on an easier project and splurged for the Kevin Wilkins custom scales since the stock ones are horrible The end result is a really expensive but hopefully super-nice Benchmade.. Got the black ones with a red anodized spacer.

Pics when they get here.

On a side note, getting to know stuff that custom knife makers do is not good for the "want"-side in me. Already thinking about getting a Leafstorm at some point and a small handmade fixed blade would be nice (as if I had any use for something like that ) and and and….

[RedStripe]

yep, can't fault that for a choice

[Jii]

These are some seriously sweet scales! Just threw them on and got a couple of pics in the last daylight. The G10 is super grippy and everything fit just right. Amazing work by Kevin!

Scottish Sgian Dubg (black or hidden knife), I'm going to a wedding in a kilt and its traditional to wear a knife stashed in your sock with a kilt.

I have Wilkinsgrips on my Mini-Grip with the pool-green G10 spacer and I love that knife. Turns a great production knife into something even better. Nice blades gents.

Giles bought a few knives and had them shipped to my house. Offered to sharpen and tune them up without realizing how small they were

Belt sander with 2000 grit belt

Plus teeny tiny knives

Equals cooked thumbs

Giles, you're all set. They'll all split a hair in half now

Size comparisons

[injunjack]

That's the diff. between UK and US of A. Size does matter, hahhah 

[Seul]

Well I wouldn't wanna fight that Zero Tolerance with that mini-knfe, that's for sure 

[rocket]

I wouldn't wanna fight with Doug anyway, no matter of the used weapon or none at all…

[DougNg]

The knife in the last picture is easily everything I've ever wanted in a tactical knife. Love the Zero Tolerance 0560

I have been a Rick Hinderer fan/collector/user for a quite a while now. I have had a few gen 2 and 3 XM-18s but I haven't been able to play with the ZT 0560 yet.

I am a huge spanto blade fan though so if ZT offered one with the Hinderer Spanto I would buy immediately.

Also that knife looks new, have you had a chance to put it through its paces at all?
