Other Zulu owners...
Is your Zulu as awesome as mine? Perfect fit and finish and rock solid lock up? Opens like a dream? Recommend me any other Spyderco knife that's at this level or beyond please. So blown away by this and my pm2 :eek: :D

Re: Other Zulu owners...
Have you checked out the Slysz Bowie yet? Truely a piece of sharp art. Fit and finish beyond description, nice flat profile so barely noticeable in the pocket, great blade steel and TI goodness...the list goess on and on.
Happy to be part of this great forum and group of down to earth spyderco addicts, Thanks Sal and gang.

Re: Other Zulu owners...
No, the Slysz Bowie should BE the list right now!!
The PITS should be #2! :D

Re: Other Zulu owners...
Hmmm, I'm going to say the PITS should be top of the list - the Ti scratches but I'm liking them, makes me realize that it is there to be used rather than polished with a microfibre cloth ......RadioactiveSpyder wrote:The PITS should be #2! :D
Also on the list :
Caly 3 or 3.5 mine are smooth as silk after a hot water clean and lube of the pivot Ground thin, they are just amazing knives
Centofante 3 - cheap and cheerful (okay maybe not cheerful) cutting machine
Disco'd favorites :
Kopa, my newest favourite
Large Chinese, takes up most of your pocket but a fantastic slicer
Terzoula Slipit
And everybody needs to have at least one Delica
Re: Other Zulu owners...

Re: Other Zulu owners...
For a company who isn't really recognized for their "Recurve Blades" I do believe that Spyderco has some of the finest. The one I still think that is tops is the Kershaw/Spyderco collaboration known as the SPYKER model. But to me either the ZULU or Brother Dialex's ADVENTURA model are both tied for second at this time barring Sprint Runs and makeovers.endgame wrote:My zulu fit and finish is great but I have no use for that blade style just a dust collector for me.the yojimbo 2 and pm2 then the manix2
The ZULU is another well built, well designed blade that didn't seem to do all that well popularity-wise but I still hear nothing but good from anyone who owns one. I got a feeling that in a couple or three years from now it will be a highly sought after collector piece so if you have one NIB I would sure hold on to it.
Re: Other Zulu owners...
There's a local shooting range that has had a Zulu in the case for a looooong time. I'm shooting there this week, I might have to grab it.

Anything from Taichung. They all have exceptional fit and finish. I had the Zulu and while I appreciated the build quality, I couldn't get past the recurve.

Re: Other Zulu owners...
Would you use the Zulu for food preparation or is that not a good use for it?
Re: Other Zulu owners...
Im a chef a blade like that a crazy recurve has no business in the kitchen
Re: Other Zulu owners...
