Hey TW! Let's see your knives!

Spydercos are one of the oddest shaped and looking knives buy IMO their blade shapes tend to be the best all around user blades there is. I especially like the leaf shape of the native and sage series.

 

have your wife or kid or parent or whatever pick you out a knife and you will love it more than anything else....other than a microtech otf

 

Special tenacious (peep the engravings) and the first bowl that I turned that was worth finishing

 

Solid bowl. Looks even thickness throughout. Good job, I went to school for sculpture design.

 

Anyone recognize this old guy?

 

I just tinker.

 

I'm looking for a new EDC knife. My current EDC is a Spyderco Sage 1 in S30V which I love.
I'm looking for something to carry while I have my Sage 1 serviced and as a interchangeable EDC with my Spyderco. I would get another Spyderco but I want something in a little different style.

My criteria is

• Budget $100 to $200
• Blade length <4"
• Weight under 4 oz.
• Premium steel.
• Pocket clip (reversible)
• Flip or manual.

I've narrowed it down to 3 choices so far. But I'm open to suggestions.
Benchmade Mini Griptillion 555
Benchmade Bugout
Zero Tolerance 0450CF

Thoughts? Suggestions? Comments? Open to brands and models.

 

I've hade a mini Grip with 20CV steel for a while. It is a great knife and carries well. I just recently bought a bugout 535-3 with the carbon fiber scales and s90v steel. It is freaking amazing. Feels much stronger then the standard bugout and is super light.
IMO. Spend a little extra and get the Bugout 535-3

 

0450CF is a great knife. Carries well, especially if you're wearing slacks.

 

ZT 0393
CJRB feldspar Blade HQ exclusive in s30v you can dye the scales any color I did on mine
Hogue Ritter RSK mini or full size can only get them from knifeworks
Hogue Deka
Hogue ex-03

 

Check out the Hogue Doug Ritter on Knife works. I have the full size so it weighs 4.5 oz. The mini Ritter would probably fit your description. 20CV steel and around $150.

 

My bad, I didn't see the post above mine, but I'm seconding the Ritter

 

I got both and love them!

 

Yea they're great knives for the price!

 

Please add Zero Tolerance 0640 in 20cv to my list. A little above my price point. But in reality I can afford what I want.
Anyone with experience with this beautiful knife?

 

Do you have a picture?

 

Those are sweet looking knives, how's the s90v steel?

 

Nice

 

I have the ZT and the mini grip. Very different knives. Both are great. The ZT is gorgeous. The mini grip I tend to beat up. I think the ZT carries better because it is SLIM. This is going to sound weird: I probably like the ZT better, but I carry the mini grip more often. Any specific questions?
