As a member who has yet to experience ZDP-189, I'm curious about something - What is your guys' experience sharpening ZDP on the Sharpmaker? I've heard a number of knife owners complain that they can never get back to the factory-edge sharpness on the Sharpmaker. The consensus, at least to me, seem...

For my users, I buy knives, not steels. Given the choice, on a model made in Japan I will take VG-10 over ZDP-189. However, if the only way a specific knife is available is in ZDP-189, or the only choice is between VG-10 with G-10 and ZDP-189 with anything but G-10, then I'll go with ZDP-189 if I w...

What I was thinking...

I would think the Civilian ranks pretty high up there. I sure see this question often enough… Chinook-1 - (Discontinued), or 2-3, but definitely the 1 is my first choice. :cool: Kris - (Discontinued) P’Kal *Para-Military *TP Lil Temp - (Discontinued) Police SE Ti. ATR - (Discontinued) b/c of lock-s...

So, I guess you do them one at a time?

Folder: Para-1 - Non-Spydie: MicroTech Makora II, OTF Auto. Fixed: Busse SH-E (Steel Heart-Ergo), Busse BJ (Busse Old School Series {BOSS} Jack - get your mind out of the gutter!) :p :D .

WOW!!! Great to see everyone again...here I am, doing the "El Tigre"...well, at least I am trying to! :o http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p314/HyperKabuto/Stuff09/2009_03CLB001-1.jpg ...and then me tailwhipping on my REDLINE: http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p314/HyperKabuto/c340d2ec....

Sure I would, although I wouldn’t be too upset if I couldn’t. I mean, I like the steel but I don’t put it in the same league with, say, s30v.

Where I am in Upstate NY I have no problem with blade length. However, NYC is a different story; and the laws are just getting worse here! NY is passing some of the dumbest knife-laws! Some stores won’t even ship (at least folders) to NY addresses anymore, regardless of the blade length (I’m not sur...

LMAO, Doc! :D

Pix of mine...

WOW, what a beautiful knife! Thanks for the link Paul & Thanks for the pics Wouter! Definitely on my ‘wish-list’.

I received my digi-cam Para-1 today! I must say, I am much more :spyder: impressed :spyder: than I thought I would be with the scales on this baby. I’ll post some pics of it when I get a chance.

With regards to the poll question: “The lock was difficult when I first got it, it has loosed up over time”, how much looser are you guys (7 voted this way thus far) talking about? I guess I’m asking b/c this question is a bit vague (I know it was meant to be) and I would like to know more specifica...

Do you prefer Digi-cam, or black handle's? My Para-1 w/ digi-cam is on its way to me from NGK so I can’t say if I like it better than my black handled Para-1.

What is the ‘draw’ to digi-cam handles?
