It's my only ZT, and I love it.
I got my 0609 on a Black Friday special a couple years ago. Price was too good to pass up. I had to dig pretty hard for the pic I took after I got it but I've been carrying it quite a bit lately. I'm not sure but I think Smitty sold it at a pretty good discount because the anodizing isn't very even. I like how it turned out. So it's a win for me

^ That's a cool looking knife! Normally something like that wouldn't be my style but I like that one

SG - I got my 0609 in the same manner - Black Friday deal that I couldn't pass up.

Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???
It was actually the only time I've seen ZT models that low. I bought my 0470 the same weekend for like $155. They're $280 now. I don't remember for sure but I think the 0609 was around $180. They're selling for $280 today too. Makes me smile hahaCapt'n Boatsalot wrote: ↑Wed Jan 26, 2022 4:57 pmSG - I got my 0609 in the same manner - Black Friday deal that I couldn't pass up.

Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???
Lowest I've ever seen for ZTs too. I think mine was $170 and the more rare finishes (like yours) were $180. Seeing current 0609 prices does put a smile on my face too.Sharp Guy wrote: ↑Wed Jan 26, 2022 7:04 pmIt was actually the only time I've seen ZT models that low.

there aren't enough cold steel knives in this thread. when people talk about the shaman being a hard use knife, i can hear the 4max laughing.

True words! The 4max Scout is the one CS knife everyone should own. It does not get enough praise, IMO.

Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???
the standard version is less than $75 on amazon. that's about a third of what the shaman costs. i don't understand why anyone buys the shaman.

Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???
I was intrigued too, and especially at the $80 price on Amazon. But thought about if for a minute and remembered that I sold my Manix XL because it was too wide in the pocket. That has definitely tempered my enthusiasm.prndltech wrote: ↑Thu Jan 27, 2022 3:15 pmProbably because it’s half the weight… y’all have me intrigued by this now.

Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???
sure, it's bulky and heavy. the point is, if you want a heavy duty knife, it should be heavy duty. i can beat on the 4max all day and not care about it because it's made to be beat on. the shaman is too expensive for a beater knife and not really bulky enough to be a serious hard use tool like the 4max scout is. but, the shaman is also too thick to be a good edc slicer. it's like an awkward teenager in a terrible in-between stage. if i want a hard use knife, i use the 4max. if i want an edc knife, i use my manix. both are far better than the shaman, in my opinion.prndltech wrote: ↑Thu Jan 27, 2022 3:15 pmProbably because it’s half the weight… y’all have me intrigued by this now.

Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???
i won't lie... you feel every one of those ten ounces. it's definitely heavy and bulky. it's the largest pocket knife i feel like i can actually carry without feeling completely ridiculous. i do carry it some days for fun, but it's usually more of a hiking knife for me for when i might be processing wood or just want to feel like rambo. for the woods though, it's often a tough choice between the 4max and rajah ii.Capt'n Boatsalot wrote: ↑Thu Jan 27, 2022 3:34 pmI was intrigued too, and especially at the $80 price on Amazon.

Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???
In defense of the Shaman, it's an ergonomic masterpiece. I also consider the model to be like a folding fixed blade, it can definitely handle a heavy workload! I've also put one of my best edges on my 4V Shaman...I promise you, it slices like nobody's business
