Zoomer
Does anyone here have one?
If so, your thoughts please. I just bought a new on the BF.
Thanx all.
Btw, the price was too steep for me buy from a dealer. I was very lucky to find this one on the forum.
I just have a feelin that this is a special one....dont get me wrong, if I had the money, I would've bought from a dealer. I'm in no way saying it's not priced right or anything. I just happened to get offered a great price at the right time. I've always been super interested in the Zoomer.

Re: Zoomer
Awesome. I demand pics and a review when you get it :D
One of those I wish I had, but with the restrictions on fixed blade carry here, I can't justify buying a knife that won't see much (or any) carry from me. Unless it's for the kitchen, fixed blades are pretty much a non starter for me.

Re: Zoomer
Congrats on the score mate, looking forward to your thoughts on it.
I haven’t held one yet but the handle looks like it should be a beauty.
Love the blade design too.

We shall see my friend. Shes totally new, and I got her for $275 shipped, so I feel pretty good about the price.
Definitely worth a shot!
Honestly, I think it will be a wonderful knife!!
Lol, I thought the Yojimbo 2 in 20cv was priced too high until I got one in my hands. Just reminds me to trust Sal and Spyderco.
That Yo2 in 20cv is just amazing.

Re: Zoomer
That’s a helluva deal.
I read on the specs that it has two pieces of g10 for the handle but I can’t see how it’s held together? How’s the g10 fitted to the blade?
In the pics above it looks like one solid piece of g10 that’s been milled out.
Where’s it made?

Re: Zoomer
Just put my reading glasses on and see that it’s made in Taiwan.
They are making amazingly high quality knives there.

Reject postes some awesome pics in this thread.
From what I understand, everyone that has one loves it.
The one I'm really after is the Province.
Re: Zoomer
Hi MacLaren,
Congrats. It's a very special model. Years in the making. Unfortunately very expensive, but a challenge to make for sure. Not too many factories even capable of making the knife.
Great shots Reject. Thanx much.

Re: Zoomer
So, the Zoomer is the sharpest outta the box knife I've ever bought. It just took the crown :)That convex grind is just what Mr.Janich says, breathtakingly SHARP lol.
This knife is just really different and REALLY NICE!
You have no doubt once in hand, theres not any hot spots at all.
Seems to me a knife that you can do anything with.
But, I've only had it for an hour lol.
I'll get some pics up soon. Cant match what Reject put up, but I'll try anyways :)

Re: Zoomer
Btw, the Zoomer comes in an awesome zippered carrying pouch.
That was a really nice touch imo.
The leather sheath is super nice.
