I'm tempted but haven't handled the Kizers. I did just buy a Sheepdog, this week has been bad for me, 9 Knives and one sharpener. I have a problem.

Then again, no flipper and thumbstuds... I like liner locks with G10 on both sides if they are bearing flippers like the ZT0909. This one looks cool https://www.knifecenter.com/item/KUV...ck-g10-handles If I had $50 to blow on a knife I'd get that TUYA. Again all just IMHO. Everyone should buy what ya like - even knock-offs made from melted tin cans if that's what you love. |

No, I missed your point. If you consider the 0566 I sold in the set worth $100, the 0560 went for $160. These didn't sell right away, they sat for while. You can post up an old OREO cookie on EBAY for $300 and you cannot say that's what they are worth unless they are selling for that price often. There are tons of overpriced listings as far as knives go. Most are BUSSE or similar. I am surprised you found a weird trend of old ZT's that are listed super high. Must be for super high people.
Like I said, if you watch the right forums, you can grab a 0560 or whatever cheap... but it is not the pinnacle of ZT's lineup. Grab an 0804CF for $160-$180 and you will be doing much better. Or you could look on alibaba.com for a 0804CF knock-off for $125... free country. You don't have to post all the knives, how about pics of some favorite knives and new ones that DID arrive???? Post that Luzon, etc... come on BRO. PICS kind of make this thread IMHO. Last edited by crufflers; 10-16-2018 at 12:52 PM.. |

You are talking to a seller that let one go for $150-$160 in the last few months. What more do you want, a personal shopper? BLADE FORUMS EXCHANGE, INDIVIDUAL FOR SALE, PRODUCTION FOLDERS. |

There is a SWEEET Hinderer XM18 3.5 bowie tip folder on the Exchange right now for $335 with two scales (OD CANVAS and a translucent)... optional matched titanium scale too. No trades or I'd be asking. I know not everyone likes original Hinderer. Some might prefer a production copy, and some might prefer a knock-off of a production copy. Go figure.
There is someone selling two ZT 0562's also. One is $150 the other $180 - both look new. One is CF. |

I recently picked up a Mora Companion HD as a beat around knife for camping.
For $20 I'm blown away. I made several feather sticks, did some batton work, carved a couple doorstops for my dad's boat, and chopped everything for dinner with it. Still hair popping sharp. Incredible, I'll be buying a full tang Garberg model soon. |

Two brands I tend to steer clear of are Boker and Tops. I guess Bark River too, but not for any good reason. Other brands have always interested me more.
Anyone have some Tops knives they can comment on as far as fit, finish, heat treat, etc... Boker has been looking better and they have some manufacturers for certain models that are good. Boker usually loses me with the designs or steel choice, but I have owned two or three. Bark River always looked good, I just never bought one. I almost bought a Survivor quite a few times, but always had some SYKCO I wanted more pop up. I am trying a Tops, I will post when it arrives. |

Geesh there's a lot of nice Kizer's popping up over there. That Toro for $100 was a great deal. |

Just purchased the Harley Davidson Super glide twentieth Anniversary ultra limited Buck custom knife, handle by David Yellowhorse. It is number 127 of 300 made. Has red coral, mother of pearl, and turquoise inlays. Made in 1992.

Cryo G10 was one of my favorite cheap knives with speedsafe. If you want something fun and unique try an EMBER. |

If you were carrying a wave opener all the time it might be a nice 2nd knife to grab from above the Emerson so you don't scare someone or try to gracefully pull the wave without opening it or cutting yourself Last edited by crufflers; 10-19-2018 at 2:15 PM.. |

I got the TOPS knife. I think it is great so far. Around $150 street price for these $144-$158 shipped from what I found. Around a 7" blade of 1075, visible hamon/differentially heat treated, interesting blade shape and grind, radiused and polished double guard, perfect fit and finish, layered micarta with liner and G10, thick stock 5/16", nice fullers, totally melted or deburred / dehorned, polished, nice light bluing, included kydex, leather and steel dangler sheath is great. It would cost $60-$100 for a sheath like that IMHO. Fit in the sheath is perfect - snaps in, doesn't rattle. If this is what all TOPS knives are like I'd buy more. Exceeds anything I have by OKC as far as the knife or the sheath fit and finish. Handle is pretty great too. Not the same shape at all, but it kind of reminds me of a RODENT6 in hand. It is not some beast of a chopper, just a nice Kabar type knife. Kind of in the same category as a Regulator.

I’m eyeing a Reeve Yarborough, looks new with a airborne Cordura sheath, numbered with the Ranger certificate, what’s a realistic high-end cost on these?

You will probably have better luck asking on bladeforums or googling it to find previous sales. https://www.osograndeknives.com//ind..._detail&p=4296 https://chrisreeve.com/blogs/how-tos/yarborough-knife Looking around I'd venture to guess $1200 Last edited by crufflers; 10-21-2018 at 8:22 AM.. |

Maybe he's like you and doesn't like posting pics. Just kidding.
The gen 6 sounds cool... lockbar insert (since gen5) and tri-way pivot so you can use washer bearings, teflon, or phos-bronze busings. I like the larger 3.5 bowie... sweet knives. |

You posted about 100,000 words about the same models in multiple posts. Just post a few pics... you know they are worth 1,000 words. Save your typing fingers. Same thing you are asking the other guy for... you don't want to read model numbers you want to see a pic. But whatever.

Congrats on the 0560... if you find the lock sticks a bit, you can use sharpie on the contact surface of the lockbar. Surprisingly this works really well for quite a while. Really good large folder IMHO.
