Btw, the standard Zing is not assisted open, but the new Stainless Steel handled one is

Microtech might be worth checking out…

Microtech's warranty is famously shitty

[DougNg]

Also, the Kershaw Cryo is a good pick too. Rick Hinderer is a brilliant designer. Not made in the US though

I'm gonna look over all these. And you just read my mind Doug. Kershaw Cryo and Leek were in my amazon cart last night but I waited to see if anyone had any advice. Looks like I was on the right cheap track.

Also, I've only had CRKT knives for the last few years and I do really love the brand too. I'll look into the Eros as well.

Giles, where did you get the Chives?

[Giles]

I actually Ebayed them and have them shipped to Dougs, he bought them up to NYC with him…

The seller was tercat265 he sold me 2 bnib etc for USD20 each...

[DougNg]

Hit me up if you need to ship to my house and then I'll ship to yours. NYC has become a nanny state, and has really cracked down on knife sales

Kershaw is usually better to get through Amazon because of their warranty policy. I usually go though Knifeworks.com, Knifecenter.com, or Newgraham.com when I can't go through Amazon for production knives. GPKnives.com also has good prices but I've never shopped through them

[DougNg]

Btw, rumor has it that the Blue Ripple with Stainless handles is going to be retired. No reason behind it, it's been a great seller.

Good to know, a buddy of mine just gave me one as gift a while back, haven't handled it a whole lot because I'm not to into autos but I know they are U.S.A. made and seemed decent enough the little I did handle it. Thanks for the info Doug!

Thanks for all the suggestions.

I'll let you know if I need any more help, Doug.

This is the most accurate as far as color that I've seen of the Ripple. This one is the Ripple 2, but you get the idea. My camera won't pick up the colors right for some reason

[urbanwoodsman]

I ended up getting a Kershaw Cryo and a Kershaw Scallion with a red anodized aluminum handle for $66.66 shipped. Maybe a carbon fiber blur or G10 leek will be next.

[DougNg]

I'm not the biggest fan of the Scallion, it's fucking tiny. The Cryo is really nice

The only problem with the Cryo is that…eventually you'll want a bigger Hinderer...=)

Check out the Zero Tolerance 0560

Main reason why I fucking love it, but you also know why  ::)

[urbanwoodsman]

Yeah, I just wanted a smaller knife, really dont own one. Maybe I'll wait for the Cryo II…

[Jii]

That Cryo looks fekkin' amazing.

[urbanwoodsman]

Yessss.

[DougNg]

Nice, I love rick's designs
