@DougNg:

…I really don't need anything in my day to day that would require such a robust knife.

Yeah I've heard it before that it's pretty "bulky"… Maybe I'll just try a Spyderco Delica... Again... This itch needs scratching

I have a Nadeau Japanese tanto folder coming in next week. Gonna pair down some stuff. Soon.

@Seul

Might want to take a look at this one too.

I have both the Delica and the Native 5, I favor the ergonomics of the Native 5. Nicer action in the pivot too.

@Seul:

Was looking at the Hinderer XM-18 3" flipper again… Just gotta remind myself that a) nothing will beat the Sebenza in sheer practicality, quality and "fit" and b) I have a bleeding 475$ back-up knife in the form of a Ti-Lock I never use...

It is perdy though...

if you're gonna get that why not just save your self a few bucks and get the zt version
which most people say is better thenthe actual hinderer stuff

Thanks. Found a Belgian store selling this. Ordering in a couple of days. Going with black FRN handles. 

[DougNg]

I think you'll like it. The pivot action will be a lot like the Sebenza. It uses a bushing system that's similar.

I would go with the FRN version as well if I were in the market for another locking knife. I already have the G10 version and it's unnecessarily heavy for a knife of it's size.

he posted it on his instagram the other day

[DougNg]

Thank you much. Not a huge fan of o1 though…signed, the owner of one exceptionally rusty knife in o1

[mclaincausey]

It is Parkerized, but generally, I'm not sure that tool steel is what I would want in that format of a knife.

[DougNg]

The knife I have in O1 rusted on the edge and the spots where I wore through the coating

[Seul]

Native = ordered. Stoked 

[DougNg]

Nice, please share your thoughts when it comes in. I believe the Native has been around since Spyderco was still pretty new, and the fact it's on it's fifth iteration is a testament to it's timelessness.

Now then there's this:

I'm all over the ZT0022.

[Seul]

That looks like a LOT of fun indeed!..

0566 is nice… The other ones are too big... They do look spectacularly dull though... I only like the carbon fibre version...

[natehate]

This little bad boy showed up today

[mclaincausey]

Really, really love that tiny little ZT.
