You could also try the ZT 0200. It's also a great knife. Get both and see which one you like better.
The handles on both will be really comfortable. Much more comfortable than the RajahII, bushman, and the Rijbak. ZT has done some crazy machining and contouring with their handle materials.

BFN my H-1 is performing nicely. I have a salt 1 and I've been using it to cut paper, cardboard, shrinkwrap, and plastic banding. The polish scratches easily, but somehow the edge doesn't seem to be nearly as affected. I'll try to get a pic on here.

I just got back from Italy to find my Emerson Endeavor sitting on the doorstep. Here is the first couple of pictures. The fit and finish are not that great. The lockup is rock solid and it is darn sharp. The ergonomics are great. It fits my hand really well. Unlike other hole opening blades vs thumbstuds there is not a point where my thumb hangs up while opening. Steady thumb pressure opens the blade. The price was not too bad. We will see if it lives up to the Emerson name. Side view ![[Linked Image from i211.photobucket.com]](http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb260/lighthiker/DSCN2271.jpg) Close up of hole - center is off from handle but still no problem to open ![[Linked Image from i211.photobucket.com]](http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb260/lighthiker/DSCN2272.jpg) On top of by BOB from Countrycomm ![[Linked Image from i211.photobucket.com]](http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb260/lighthiker/DSCN2275.jpg)

I should have mentioned it is from the Emerson Hard Wear line of knives. The cheaper versions. Full retail is $78.95 from Emerson. Websites list them for around $45, but none are ever in stock. This is the endeavor. 3.4 inch blade 7.9 inches overall.

My Spydercos are multiplying! ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Knife/Spydercos001.jpg) Today my back ordered Tenacious came in. The quality on this knife is amazing for the money. The lock is beefy, smooth, and engages very well. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Knife/Spydercos002.jpg) G10 scales and four position pocket clip. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Knife/Spydercos003.jpg) Really thick liners. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Knife/Spydercos004.jpg) And a flat ground 3 3/8" blade. If the steel is good, this knife is a bargain. ![[Linked Image from i173.photobucket.com]](http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w64/rivershaman/Knife/Spydercos005.jpg)
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

i like my new spyderco UK pen knife Oh I like the green scales. That model doesn't lock, does it? I guess locking blade folders are verboten in the UK.
