Thank you! The little Inkosi makes a great drop in pocket knife when traveling. It somehow works really well with my XL hands despite the grooves and small footprint.

Folks in Maniago have been turning out some fun toys recently. Don’t see a lot of Dark Matter carbon fiber in production knives. Viper Turn Essential FCY (yellow carbon fiber, w/copper foil in the CF shred mix).

Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???
Man oh man, talk about value....I don't think theres anything else on the market that gives you more from your money than this ScrapYard DB-322 in SR101 with a ScrapSatin Finish.(for a fixed blade knife) (BUSSE Combat Family) - in my experience that distinction went to the Spyderco Province in 4V.
But, this SR101 is amazing steel and the Res C handle is incredibly comfy. It's an 8" .210" blade
All for $209......heck, that TOPS Wild Pig Hunter was almost that much and I can tell ya, that TOPS is not in the same league as this Bussekin blade.
At any rate, I freakin love this knife.
You can also order a leather sheath. It's an extremely good and tough leather sheath. A Danny The Bull Sheath in either Black or Brown.
It sells for about $50 - very well worth it.
Here's a couple pics and thanks for lettin me Bragg a little

If I had a need for a big chopper, that would be on my short list.

It's not a big chopper. Not a chopper at all really
It's more a fighter/do all knife if anything to be honest - the pic makes it look a lot wider and thicker than it really is.
Gosh, it feels so good in hand. Those Res C handles are the best imo.

Yeah, I guess it’s more of an all arounder, but for me it is just in the chopper range.

It's sad that ZT is kind of an after thought these days. I've had two, very nice knives indeed. They just don't seem to be putting out much new stuff lately.
15 's in 10 different steels
1 - Bradford Guardian 3 / Vanadis 4E Wharnie
1 - Monterey Bay Knives Slayback Flipper / ZDP 189
1 - CRK Small Sebenza 31/Macassar Ebony Inlays
1 - CRK Large Inkosi Insingo/ Black Micarta Inlays
1 - CRK Small Sebenza 31 Insingo/Magnacut

Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???
Man, they also got some 4" versions too, JR.
I'm seriously thinking about getting one to match what I have. It's $109
Oh, and blade thickness on these are .115" not, .210" - heck, I'm gonna get one. That SR101 steel - like they say, 90% performance of INFI at 1/2 the price

I'm glad I picked up one of those when they were available.

Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???
ZT makes great knives, for sure, but the "ZT Originals" they seem to be focusing their energy on lately just don't do it for me like the collabs did/do.. Emerson-designed 0640 in the pocket today..

Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???
In my second pocket is this little guy.
And if you ask me this is one of the best designs spyderco past the chance on to make it. I have bin testing it for awhile now and it keeps me surprised every time i use it. Its truly a little big knife capable of all chores. And for a fraction of the price of a dragonfly no less.
And not only does it satisfy me it also is a great knife for the beginner son’s and daughters, nieces and nephews. I gifted 2 of these to my brothers kids and for what i was told they have a blast with them.
So thx to Spydernut for this incredible design!

Re: What "Other" is in your pocket???
You ain't just whistlin Dixie bro. I so miss the collabs that they did with Hinderer. Especially the Wharncliffe versions. I think it was the ZT 0392WC
Man, was that thing nice!

Yessir, I know the one you're talking about.. that thing is cool looking for sure!MacLaren wrote: ↑Fri Aug 26, 2022 9:32 amYou ain't just whistlin Dixie bro. I so miss the collabs that they did with Hinderer. Especially the Wharncliffe versions. I think it was the ZT 0392WC

4 of my 5 existing ZTs are designer collabs.. one of the very few knives I've ever sold off is the "ZT Original" 0357.. haha i think those stats speak pretty highly for the collabs, on my part at least. The newest ZTs have tried to get too "fancy" imo.. they do next to nothing for me haha..
Maybe I'll carry my Hinderer 0566 tomorrow, thanks for the motivation..
