That really is a nice looking blade, love the lines.
It really is. The swedge does something similar to your Zaan where it goes away at the tip. Thickens up a bit there. I need to get the edge down though. Quick like. I'm going to aim for around 15dps. That and some Micarta is planned.
I don’t love a lot of ZTs but that one is very nice. Would love to see it in Micarta.

Fits right in with the Sebenza and GB also - just clean, classic lines. I wish we got more Spydercos like that.
I'm happiest with Micarta and Tool Steel.

Top four in rotation: K390 + GCM PM2, ZCarta Shaman, Crucarta PM2, K390 + GCM Straight Spine Stretch.

Did you order from DLT or KSF? That is one heck of a turnaround.

The good news is that Sebenzas hold their value well. You’ll be able to sell that on, should you wish to, without losing much.
GP Knives actually. The MagnaCut ones are selling out fast. S45VN (which I can say is quite nice now that I've been carrying an S45VN Sebenza almost every day for a month) can be found in stock, depending on what options you're looking for. Lefty CRKs in general are fairly scarce right now.

And fair point on selling it down the road, although I'd want to be more restrained than my usual on a reprofile job for that.

Man, that’s killer. I didn’t realize that GP was so quick. Are you near Chicago?

Not really, I'm in Nebraska. GP Knives is usually about the quickest to get here via USPS, with DLT not far behind.

Mr. Boring old school with newer clip mod .
Classic shape. Love the swedge.

I think this is the kind of knife that Benchmade did best. Clean and simple.
I do too , 721 early Mel Perdue design before the Griptilian was introduced . Thank you , Dan
