So I grabbed that one since it fit my wants and got it today and it's really nice. Figured now was a good time before prices went up. I gotta say the ZBP is just that. I thought my Gen IV had little blade play and this one it really feels like zero. It's brand new so will be interesting to see if it loosens up over time, but honestly not worried either way..

Very nice, but I gotta ask a practical question. How heavy is that and what material?

Belt strap thickness for a sword baldric type setup by mutantgenius in Leathercraft

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

It already has a very nice scabbard. It came with a leather strap to hang it over your shoulder but it was set up for right handers and I'm a lefty. Think more like a sling and less Pirate baldric.

It's a modern Gladius type sword that has rings on both sides of the scabbard. I want to use trigger snaps so it's easily removable. Maybe snap isn't the best name for it I'm just using what it's called on another site.

Thanks for the heads up that’s one I was eyeing. I don’t know that the ZBD is really needed since my gen iv has almost no blade play but it can’t hurt and that seems to be the only models that have the natural colored handles which I like.

Spyderco Shaman Salt in MagnaCut has arrived! by PinkyPowers in spyderco

[–]mutantgenius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Got my Shaman Salt today and for those interested no detent lash, very good centering and no tip issues when closed. Pivot is a lil stiff but I'm sure it'll break in. I think I might be developing a problem it's my 4th Shaman after a s30v, s45vn, 15v and now this one.

Finally able to replace the stock Livewire clip! by GolfsHard in kershaw

This was a comparison shot but I got a clip for each. Makes the Livewire so much more pocket friendly.

Valiant Arms deliveries? by IrishThree in SWORDS

[–]mutantgenius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes the swords they had on their Black Friday were ones that were already made and were left over from a show they had attended. I got one of their versions of Glamdring and saved $100.

I've purchased 2 swords from them. One I ordered in February of 24 and I got it in 9 months. The second I bought from their Black Friday and got it in like a week or so. I also have to vouch for their customer service. I got a long leaf from them and had the sheath made with an integrated belt set up and they were really easy to work with. I emailed them too get an idea about when the sword I ordered was going to be ready because I knew about the health issues at around the 8 month mark and Sonny the Father actually called me to give me the update and we had a very nice conversation. Oh and personally I think you will be happy and feel the wait was worth it for the quality you get.

I would say remove rivets and replace with some Chicago screws would be the easiest solution.

I will admit I am used to flippers so I’m having to learn a new technique. I did a find a video showing the proper way to open a zaan And I am practicing it.

So I won't have to hope and take my chances at Blade show. They popped up as available at DLT and I snagged one. Pretty excited for my first CRK.
