Pocketknives/Kitchen Knives/Fixed Blades

That makes absolute sense and is very helpful information. I do have the Spyderco rig. I'm not sure I need to have the keenness you describe for a waterstone, but for purposes of pure geekery I might invest in one and learn the craft. It would come in handy if I ever add some nice Japanese steel to my kitchen arsenal.
Thanks for the feedback folks!

Picked up an Emerson CQC-10 and a Strider SMF last week, will try and post pics if my home computer doesn't
act up… -

one for each day of the week eh…
-
Not my most intelligent of decisions
-
Umm, I disagree man, that is a very impressive collection by any knife enthusiasts standards. I say you have made great decisions…

Almost bought a Hinderer folder this past weekend, was only $260.00…Might go back and pick it up if the gun/knife
show this coming Saturday ends up being less than fruitful. -
It is, very nice knife…I hope it's still there if I decide to go back.

Blackheart you passed on a XM-18??? In the 2 hundreds??? Or was it a ZT?

Not sure if it was a ZT…Might have been...I was looking at a lot of knives. I'm going to go back if I get time
this week after work and look at it again, -
I did see a new xm-18 on eBay. Think it was in the 600s. I thought they were normally a four-figure proposition.

$600
Is a good price"Obstacles are stepping-stones That guide us to our goals"

this week after work and look at it again,$260 is about the retail price for a ZT560/561. It's a great knife for the price, but that's not exactly a good deal. I've seen some NIB for less that $200, though that's few and far between
Knives out of Hinderer's shop retail about $400 for a stock flat ground blade, a few hundred more for a custom ground blade. Secondary market is $600+ for a flat ground blade and over $1k for a custom ground blade
The vast majority of Hinderer's out there are flat ground blades
-
It was probably a ZT then for that price. I'll keep an eye open at the gun/knife show this coming weekend for
a better price on the ZT, I'm sure there will be a good variety to choose from at better prices I hope. -
