I've been waiting to see these. You said before you'd have three coming out? Also how has the Z-wear preformed for you?
 
@Y'shua - I have one more (same shape like this) ready to go and another (a bit smaller) still in progress. I was going to post the other one a bit later, can't have two "for sale" posts on the same page per forum rules. But I can let you preview it here:

I did some heat treat stress test, to make sure the thin blade doesn't break under hammering. The wire cut test was done on 16 GA steel wire and 0.09" diameter brass bar. Not very clear on video, the brass left very small dents, steel actually chipped the edge a bit though I expected it - the angle was about 14 degrees, too thin for steel.

@alex21, I really like look of the knives you make. Thanks for the preview on the other knife, very cool pattern. Also nice stress test video. I like the profile of the smaller EDC you posted before. The two you have finished are probably a bit big for my preferred fixed blade EDC, so I look forward to the smaller one. I'll also be sending you an email shortly.
