Whats your latest knife purchase?

[DolphinFan]

Just ordered a Buck 112 Automatic.

However, in order to do that you have to pull the blade towards you but the initial impulse (at least is was for me) is to go in the opposite direction and to close it like a normal side opening knife. Can't do that and I spent several minutes trying to figure out why the knife "wouldn't" close. I won't be surprised if others "complain" about this "defect" when they finally get their knives but can't figure out how to close them. LOL!

Needless to say, I will not be carrying the Provoke very often if at all. It's an interesting knife and I'm going to keep it but compared w/my Bastinelli/Marcaida Pika (that I am currently carrying) it's like comparing a Porsche w/a bloated and overloaded Suburban. Just ain't no comparison.

I haven't bought a CRKT for ages and it was a fixed camp knife (Sawtooth 2000) that they sold with a decent leather sheath for $20 or $30.

Thinking about it it, I probably never had a CRKT folder.... if I did, can't recall or the memory is blocked out.

CRKT, Boker, Gerber... I don't buy anymore for some reason. I guess there's no reason to change now.

Picked up a Kershaw Barricade (8650) off of Amazon for <$25. Inexpensive rescue knife: seat belt cutter, glass breaker, flipper + assisted opener, no lock.

Here is my recent arrival Busse-Urgent Fury

[sbsyncro]

Waiting for arrival of Ferrum Forge Gent in rosewood scales - should arrive Friday



Titanium liner lock, CPM S35VN steel, 2.4 oz . Planning to replace my current EDCs (Boker Urban Trapper or CRKT Ripple) and figure the drop point will be more versatile. For <$100 it looks like a pretty amazing deal. Not sure I'm gonna love the clip, but it looks very stealthy with the deep carry (will look like a ball point pen in the pocket)

Picked up a ZT 0450 for $150 on Amazon.

Any tips to make sure its legit and not a copy?

Nice blades

[Futurecollector]

For the titanium? Good price. Only see them offered at $160 on Amazon right now.

As for fakes, read that some people buy ZTs from Amazon and then return the original box w/a fake in it; keeping the legit knife for themselves.

Scum!!!

Couldn't find any 0450 real vs fake Youtube comparisons. Is there a specific reason why you're concerned?

Besides look and feel, fit/finish... I'll post exact weight for you later. Should be about 2.9 ounce, but I'll weigh mine. Great little knife.

I am pretty sure it's legit, but the whole knife locked up. It looks like the frame lock is holding the blade in the closed position, I'm not sure if a detent broke off or something, but Ill be sending it back to Amazon. Its a decent enough blade but I just don't like the slime ZT's

Well that doesn't sound legit I locked up a 0452CF but I used it in salt water and didn't clean it up soon enough. Just had to really oil it.

What is a slime ZT?

What is a slime ZT?

I'm sure he meant slim ZT's... the 0450 is not the easiest to hold onto, but it is OK after you practice... and to me it is for shorts/sweats/slacks... an occasional knife. I am still loving the 0456BW - what a knife. Surprised it usually beats out my 0804CF... but those two are my favorites. 0456BW is not what I'd call slim or typical Sinkevich shape but a great Sinkevich.
