It depends on the HT; there's a discussion on BF about the ZT 560CBCF S110V knife, but the HT is flawed. The S110V cutting edge is only Rc = 58-59 due to its san mai construction. S100v can be HT to at least Rc 62. I don't think I can post a link to another forum. Hopefully since the forum blade is...

I'm hoping the CF S110V Native comes out before the Forum knife.

It should be interesting to see how the 2013 forum knife plays out. It has had an interesting start.

Anyone superstitious ?

S90V Para2. Good steel, light CF, and a very sticky lock.

Seems like the Green Para2 and the Green Native will be coming out around the same time. Do you think they'll use the same color green aside from the crosshatch that the Native is getting ?

The South Fork, Para2, and Native should make a nice set of green knives.

Way back before internet forums there was the knife-list which was an email list which was frequented by some of the most respected knife makers of the day (still now). They discussed at one point the ideal steel for knives, Carbon V was almost in uniform agreement as a knife steel (excluding corro...

Wiha make good tools IMO. How come that goofy looking knife is in your picture of your torx drivers? :) Just kidding. That P2 came with a little side to side blade play due to the pivot screw being a little loose. Of course it was the one under the pocket clip. Didn't have any torx sets at the time...

^^nice piece of history shunsui! Got lots of good memories. It's funny to think these came out back at the same time as the original IBM Personal Computer. The Worker could have used some G10 skins like the Calypso models, but the stainless steel snuggled into a toolbox real well with your sockets ...

My only real criticism of the knife is that it feels awfully large clipped into my jeans pocket. And the sharp edges of the scales can be a bit uncomfortable on the hand when you are reaching into your pocket to extract it. The edges were a bit annoying. I found running a sharpmaker rod in the groo...

Never even considered one as I thought I was too big and overkill for what I need a knife for. Well, it still is overkill (for what I need in an edc) but wow once I held it I couldn't put it down. This thing is sweet. The camo pattern and black blade really make it pop. The lock is sweet too, would...

I was always amused when people complained a knife looks too pretty in a picture, so I made this image before cleaning up the knives.

They should probably make the cutoff join date 4-8-2013, a day before this thread started.
I missed out on the USN Endura, but I signed up anyway and later picked up the Catcherman.

Hi guys, thought I'd register while the stampede is going strong. ;)

Frankly I'd prefer the CF, but might as well cover my bases. You never know what's going to happen.
