Good one, Randy. Our current minister of foreignaffairs recently stated, that he believed the US army had a secret underwater military installment beneath the polar ice. Well, some politicians are just plain stupid. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Or have spend much time watching Star Wars... The was COBRA, NOT the US. Geeze! If your foreign minister is going to pretend the "G.I. Joe" movie was real, AT LEAST get it right! OUR secret base is under the desert in the Middle East!

I'm sure if I looked through this, I could find my answer, but I'vebeen eyeing the Hest 2.0 and/or a ZT blade. Any thoughts on those? Did I just open myself to all sorts of ridicule?

My friend has the Hest 2. I am surprised with it. Same size as a Spyderco Gayle Bradley. It has a thick knife, really not cutting performance orientated. There is a great review done by a member here on the Hest folder, batoned with it etc without any issues. I am more cutting orientated so it does not suit my needs and would go with the ZT Hinderer colab, but they are hard to find currently. On a side note, my Atlantic Salt arrived. Surprised how little reviews and pictures there are of this knife. I will have to change that <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ![[Linked Image from i150.photobucket.com]](http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s90/geronki/photo-15.jpg)

I just can't pick one folder as my favorite, so here they all are. This gave me an opportunity to gather them all up in one location and snap a family pic. I'm currently using a Benchmade for my EDC, top of picture. I put my Kershaw up this past Friday and picked up the new Benchmade at the gun show in Chantilly, VA.

Nice Selection SF.
I have been carrying the same knives for EDC now for quit a while. A small Sebenza Classic 2000 with micarta inlays and my Emerson combat karambit. Every once in a while I will carry the Umnumzaan.

Pimped my Ritter Grip with Cuscadi scales. They really bring a great blade to the next level. That pivot pin was a head-ache to get back in though! I have a little blade play and a rattle now too...ugghh...don't know if I should take it apart and start from scratch?? Anyhoo...it's pretty sweet! Those look great!

Thanks! It really ups this folder. I had my para 2 out last night to compare and the Ritter Grip looks like the better knife now. I always loved it anyway, the grind, handle shape and blade profile are great.
I just have to stop this [censored] rattle! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" /> I took it apart 2-3x yesturday, emailed cuscadi and can't get it to stop! Should have broke out my google-fu earlier...seems like it's the stop pin and folks have that problem on occasion. Gonna carry it for awhile and hope it stops, if not, I'll try lock tite I guess..
