Got that "bargain" priced SPEC-OPS 6" max Combat Master sheath from Amazon - $36. Was able to make my 6.5 flat ground Regulator to fit in it by removing the velcro'd in insert and drilling out one of the bottom rivets to allow it to go in further. Blade is still completely covered by the insert so no stab through.

Freed up the 8" sheath .

Honestly one of the best $30 knives I've ever handled.

I'm now a Skyline fanboy.

Yeah I paid $31 shipped for the bowie tip... Got rid of my two Kershaw Emerson’s but I will keep this one if it is as smooth with decent detent like the other two... only waver I have now is the CS Talwar. Sold my 711 with bowie tip for $285 today so i’m mostly selling stuff still.

The 3 cheap Kershaw Emersons that I own (4KXL, 6K and 8K) are just as "functional" IMO as the ZT0620 that I also own. Blade steel and construction of the ZT is obviously better but, since I never really plan to "use" them in any way beyond self defense carry, it really doesn't matter.

Bought a Skyline because it was well reviewed and because I liked the design but the one I got was so off center that I had to return it and have not bought another.

Dammit... I had to look that 6031 up and saw they have a 6030 with a bowie blade. I think I have to have it.

BUT Kryptek... cool. That was one I liked but never bought. I think I grabbed a 757 Vicker instead, then later almost traded it for an ADAMAS and kind of settled on a Contego M4 as my BM beastly knife. I bet they are cool.

A couple new GEC 15's from 2015 run - my latest just opened the tubes

[MeatyMac]

[crufflers]

if GEC could move special runs of 2500 knives in a reasonable amount of time do you think they wouldn’t?

There's just no way that operation could do it with the process they use... little shop, lots of hand-done grinding and polish. When I see a Farm and Field new release selling brand new street price of under $60 or a Tidioute multi-blade under $100 it boggles my mind. But you have to handle a few. Value goes up too... I just sold a bone handled Pioneer for $250 - a lot for a non-custom traditional. Gorgeous knife, but I couldn't carry it and scratch it up, de-laminate the polished/weathered scales... besides, Pioneer Trappers are too heavy like carrying three ZT's. My kid likes traditionals, but prefers glow-in-the-dark acrylic, hahah. GEC 15's are nice and handy, light. I'll have a couple more sheep's foot 15's tomorrow maybe. Actual LATEST PURCHASES incoming for those that hate chit chat.

Nice traditional. Limited to 2500? Wow. I think that's more than a normal GEC run. I have GEC's that are one of 56, or one of 100.
