Thanks!  I signed up for the notification and I came close to ordering one. Then I remembered all of the ammo and reloading components I ordered recently. . .  :(

Top 5 - most used and most often carried

Top to bottom (left to right)
ZT 0566 S35VN
Kershaw Dividend M390
ZT 0562CF 204P
We Kitefin S35VN
ZT 0770CF M390

Have been carrying the We a lot lately for work. It’s slimmer and lighter. The ZT 0562 is used to be carried most often. Lots of use and tough steel. Just kinda heavy.

I have a WE Yucha which i really like.  harpoon shape blade S35VN.  3.75".  larger knife.  different blade edges on the same blade, chopping edge close to the pivot, piercing and slicing closer to the tip. interesting design
there's a lot of blades I have that I carry now and then.  its hard to decide which ones are better.  they are all good in the jobs they are designed for.  some I just like better than others for whatever reasons: fits better in my hand, fits better in certain pants I'm wearing.  conceals better, or draws better, etc

also i have 1 Reate.  the Hills model which is their cheapest at $180.  it is a great Chinese knife.  action is awesome.  fit and finish is near perfect, if not perfect.  S35VN steel.  it is very equal to my ZT's

got this in the mail last week Ganzo FH922.  for $27.99 on amazon, this is a great knife!
best thing about it is the detent and the opening action.  both are really, really great.
it's D2 steel.  I don't mind D2 steel.  I'd rather have S35VN, or M390, but for less that 30 bucks you won't find M390 or S35VN.  so for the price I can live with D2, just gotta keep it clean
it's a no frills knife.  and sometimes that's all you really need
if you are looking for a budget knife, these Ganzo knives are hard to beat

I got one of these on order from Amazon, but it's coming from China so it might be 4-8 weeks delivery
3.27 inches of M390 steel.  Jelly Jerry design.  I like his designs and also Wong designs.  I have a couple of each and they are great
I like this blade shape. Jelly's blades are usually a medium size.  Wong is usually a large size.  I like Jelly's knives for a office knife.  Wong's knives I could also use at the office but also use for a defensive knife if needed
I like Neeves knives youtube channel.  he does a great in depth review of knives. blade shape, ergos, action, detent, etc  I learn something when I watch his videos

ZT0308
https://zt.kaiusa.com/0308.html

I've wanted this ever since it came out a couple years ago, but price was too steep for me
recently price came down a bit and I had a gift card, so that eased the pain on my wallet a bit
this is a BEAST of a knife!
20CV steel, 3.75" blade, wide grip but not too thick but just right for a large knife.
grip is G10 on one side, titanium on the other, frame lock, manual flipper
the opening of the knife is perfect.  detent is strong but not too strong, KVT bearings are smooth, very snappy opening with a loud "Thwack" when it locks up.  very satisfying
it feels large in my hand but not too large.
one of my best ZT's and one of my best knives overall.  I would rank it up there with my 0393 Hinderer and my 0909  and 0920
this was my most expensive ZT and knife, but well worth it!   :thumbsup: :thumbsup:






comparison to my 0909 which is also a large folder
