ZT 0770CF

My first Elmax blade. :)

Congrats on the new ZT! I have the aluminum 0770 Elmax that I put a hand satin on the blade, de assisted, and finished with blue titanium pivot /barrel spacers!
Very light and usable blade shape...

I was carrying for my left hand a ZT 0556CF that I really liked but was somewhat heavy. The ZT 0770CF is exactly 2 oz lighter and has dual CF scales, liner lock and a better blade profile with the exact same action. IMO

Got a civivi on the way- amazing what these guys can do at the price

Microtech UTX-85 OTF D/A SE, black and satin with Elmax.

Knifeworks Ritter/Hogue RSK!
Looks like they are getting caught up on backorders :)

Lol, man it just happened! :D
I got lucky. Btw, sent you a pm :D :cool:

Broke down and ordered the 20th Anniversary Tex Creek !
Sucker for micarta /carbon scales ...but the sheath is what put me over the edge!

Debating this one as the price seems great compared to what it is on blade hq and the materials certainly warrant it.

Here's what I got coming.

Except in right handed

Ordered these two. Should be here next week.

The first is a J.E. Made Lanny's Clip with an s35vn blade and Desert Ironwood covers on top of a titanium frame. I've heard a lot of good things about these knives. They're made in China but the shop is only 5 people. CNC cut but hand finish and hand ground blades, heat treated by the owner/designer/general worker. So, I guess they're kinda midtechs. Only thing I'm worried about is whether or not they've been ground thin enough. I've not seen or heard of fit and finish issues. Thought it would be good to see their take on a classic Bose design. Also cool, they come with a case, a driver, and a second set of all hardware, including, I think, a second pivot.


The second is the first to be released of a short run by GEC. Their #12 pattern Texas Toothpicks. These aren't massive in terms of toothpicks: a 4.75" handle and a 3" blade. But, they're not as small as many and that is a really good size. The next ones to be released will have some pretty cool covers, but the Chechen Rosewood aka Carribean Rosewood paired with the brushed bolsters and satin blade really got me. Plus, only $80.


Def going on a knife buy hiatus now, though. At least until the frn P4 drops.

Hopefully arriving sometime next week:
Kershaw Halogen
Kershaw AM-5
Kershaw Decimus
Kershaw Barstow

I got a National Parks Mt. Rainier edition SAK coming on Tuesday, and a custom black canvas micarta scale coming for my Hinderer Skinny Slicer :)

Great Eastern Cutlery #25 Barlow, OD Micarta scale covers. To me, this is one of the classic American traditional pocket knives. I am 76 and can dimly remember Barlow’s being carried by adults in my youth. This particular run was done in 2017 so I missed out on them, as did most Great Eastern Cutlery afis. But, I finally found one at a decent price. Should be here next week.

Congratulations. That's very nice. Keep us posted on how you like her Michael.
