      Just got into Knives. I bought all these within the last month and just picked up the Legion P320 as well.

      I have three Microtechs enroute from BladHQ. They should be here Wednesday since I paid extra for two day shipping. I’ll post them when they arrive. I’m absolutely hooked on this hobby and I can’t believe I went all this time without carrying a knife. They come in so handy!

      The Microtechs I purchased are as follows;

      UTX-70
      UTX-85
      Ultra tech

      Can’t wait [emoji1417]
      While I detest Microtech as a company, I absolutely LOVE my UTX70 and UIltratech! I just hope they never fail as my personal experience is that Microtech service just sucks. I disputed this for years, but they finally proved to me that the rumors are true. It's a shame as their OTF autos are best in class. I don't own any BM autos, but my experience wit their customer service has always been very positive.

      This is my first ZT purchase. So far, I’m in love with the 0609.

      I'm pretty much a custom knife fiend and don't get excited about production knives that that ZT 0609 is just HOT! It's one of my favorite knives of all time, even if it doesn't have the snob appeal of my customs. So much knife for the money and such a sweet design!

      I just got back from The Gathering knife show in Las Vegas (https://usngathering.com/) . It was a long weekend, but was absolutely awesome!

      I scored an Emerson CQC-8 Custom with Ti bolsters and black G10 scales in the Emerson Lottery. I only owned it for about twelve hours, so didn't get pics to share. I paid $850.00 and flipped it to a dealer for $1400.00. He seemed happy to get it, so I think there is upside on top of that, but I was very happy to make $550.00 profit. It certainly helped offset the cost of the trip

      I also scored a Kevin Foster Anchovy Mid Tech that looks like this:



      Kevin is a good friend. Kevin and I started making knives at about the same time (Ok, I really started first). I approached it as a hobby that I couldn't allocate much time to and have no following and have only made a handful of knives, while he jumped in with both feet and has made some amazing stuff. He's a real knife maker while I'm still a novice hobbyist at best. Kevin has spent a lot of time learning from guys like Tom Mayo and Lee Williams. He's studied under truly world class knife makers. His stuff reflects that.

      I'm proud to call him a friend and am amazed to see him have success with projects like this. It's an awesome knife, super well executed and I'm really proud to add it to my EDC rotation.

          JPS3B isn't messing around! Thanks for sharing and pics!

          excitable boy, no pics of the show? I saw some pen dudes talking about that show.


          Earlier in the thread I said I was tapping out for the year and technically I still am. Preordered this way earlier in the year. It's great, love it. The handle...it's perfect.

            That's gorgeous. Great looking knife - I bet that 3V is the toughest.

              Broke my ZT pocket clip today.

              So far, don’t think I’ll ever buy another. Got the 0095BW.

              Edge retention compared to other lower cost knives is same or worse to be honest.

              Any amount of sand cruds the BB system.

              I’ll stick to lower cost thrashers.

                  When I ordered some parts that I had to pay for the process was to submit the request online and after a few days they called to get my CC# and then shipped the parts to me. Pretty simple. Should be the same for the clip.
                  Thanks for the link.

                  I already ordered an aftermarket clip in hopes that it does not fail after a couple months of normal use.

                            I love MKT knives! I hope to get another this year.

                                Nice stuff up there! Medfords look like beautiful tanks and that Fallkniven bowie is neat.

                                I'm thinking of trying one of the Chavez or Blauvelt production knives farmed to Reate or We... like the Chavez Ultramar or Arcform Catalyst. Leaning towards the Arcform.
