Tolly turned me on to this H&K benchmade folder in 154cm. I've had it for about 2-3 months now and I really like it. I just sharpened it last night, scandi grind? What ever the angle, I had much better luck sharpening this one the first try...hair popping sharp. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

+1 thanks Jimmie. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I see it has the axis lock, which is supposed to be very strong. I'm a big fan of Benchmades. Cold Steel's new Triad lock is very strong, too. I have chopped hard wood with my Rajah 2, and the lock held solid.


Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

I have not try to hang weights off of it ...lol. I have given a full thrust into wood, no slipage and gave it a good bit of down force just short of all out. No issues nice to know its can handle it. Just a little bit of metal taking all that force, pretty good stuff. + 154 cm with a bit of a coating.

Well, Thanks to HD and the possible banning of Assisted Openers, I went ahead and ordered my ZT 0301. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Can't wait to get it.

It is as fine a folder as any I have seen, extremely rugged, like Scrap Yards, and they are American-made. They open fast, too.

I love BM folders, and the Axis lock is my favorite. I got to hold one like yours the other day and it feels really good in hand. Not to mention 154CM.

For well over a year, I've carried (at least) two Spyderco Salt series knives every day.

- Spyderco Pacific Salt clipped to right front pocket
- one of the following IWB: Tasman, Atlantic, Salt I, Saver, or another Pacific

I like them because of the very light weight. Also, the non-rusting steel allows me to wash them without worry for working with food and no lubricant/protectant to get on the food.

Where do you like to carry yours, i.e. pocket, IWB, shoe, etc?

ETA:
A SAK is also carried frequently along with but not in place of the Salt(s).

Only got one folder and thatīs a CRKT M16-01KZ. Carry it in my pocket all the time. Not the best folder there is but it works for me. And it was cheap <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Here is my new favorite folder, out of the ones I own. I just bought it today in honor of our government's attempt to take them away. This is the Kershaw Rainbow Leek. This is a really nice, smooth fast-opening knife.
