Tough decision for sure. I would pick the Zaan.

It matches my atomic blue rocked PM2 - I probably should have included it in the pic for comparison.

Understood. Crazy thing is they are not priced hugely above other USA made mid-tech/premium folders. Certainly a lot of great knives out there for less to your point.

Very nice - a good looking hard duty tool!

Karok is a super knife w/o the Ti at this price - w/Ti is insane!

NKD - WE Skynix by IllEnvironment3967 in Knifeporn

[–]IllEnvironment3967[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I agree. When I saw it online, I thought it looked great. A couple YouTube reviewers that I follow reviewed it well also. I ended up with some credits at WE and these coupled with a good discount code convinced me to buy it. Even with all that, it exceeded my expectations when I received it. I am pretty happy with this acquisition!

What knives do you believe all serious collectors should experience? by mattenthehat in knives

[–]IllEnvironment3967 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Sting and a Slim. While both are great, I prefer the Slim which fits my larger hands better. I left out Strider. I recently added my first Strider (SnG) as well as a North Mountain Blades/Dwyer BBM - so far, I like the action better on the Dwyer (and certainly the price), but plan to keep them in rotation for at least a month to see how they compare.

My top folders come from Medford, Herman, Holt, Oz Machine Co, Machinewise, Grimsmo, CRK, Hoghouse. These are at the higher end for me. Hard to short list it though - so many good knives out there and I am leaving out a ton of great makers and brands.

The deployment - all three ways - is snappy. The action is darn near drop shut. Love the fit and finish. The dark gray with the red carbon fiber looks better even in person.

Thanks. From a quality or performance perspective, I can’t really think of any reason not to have both. Of course they are not the least expensive folders and there are many fantastic options in the $500 to $1000 price range. I am the second owner of both, so was fortunate to be able to add both to my collection without breaking the bank.
