@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

@DougNg:

I favor the ergonomics of the Native 5. Nicer action in the pivot too.

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.

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...

This little bad boy showed up today

[mclaincausey]

Really, really love that tiny little ZT.

Getting used to it. Light but very solid. Definitely better than the Delica for me. Of course now I have a million other Spydercos I'm looking at I wanna try (Techno, Firefly,…)

[Manticore]

Hey @Seul …. Not sure if this is US-only though but worth a shot.
