Title says it all. I was thinking small sebenza, 0550 and a fixed blade, or 0560 and maybe a fixed blade. I want something high quality mainly(Currently have a BM710M390, a BM51, and an Emerson mini CQC-7). Any suggestions?
 
I LOVE my small sebenza. Everytime I use it it makes me feel happy...

How would a Strider or the 0560 compare? I don't know where to even buy a Hinderer and don't even think I could. xD

I have the 0550. For my taste it's way overkill for EDC due to it's weight and size. I have not yet experienced any Striders due to their cost. Spending $350 on the Small Sebenze was about as "crazy" as I have ever gotten. That said, I've been imagining myself with a Large Sebenza and I am going to sell the 0550 to fund the purchase!!!!!! YIKES! That's how much an impression the small sebenza has made on me....
 
I went for the Three Sisters Forge Beast for less than the Sebenza--seems like a good choice, and a bit beefier for EDC without being overkill.

Cheers,
Daniel
 
you cant go wrong with a small sebenza! although i really like my 0550 too, but if i had to choose one it would definitely be the sebenza you can get the 0550 down the road.

I think the 0560 is a couple ounces lighter but still large in size
 
I really want the large sebenza as it's a good size. I like big knives. I kind of want toe large espada(seperately) just for it's size. I have an RMD LE from Swamp Rat also, so I don't NEED a fixed blade. I collect mainly weaponry and defensive items but I think the sebenza is elegant and quality enough to be an exception. It's kind of a must have in the knife world it seems. Can you tell me about the TSF? Mainly if I go folder I want a high quality preferably ti-lock blade. On another note, I'm surprised how stiff the Emerson is compared to the 710(just got the emerson today). I can't imagine a knife much smoother than the 710.
 
Get a 560 and a custom scale from somebody.

I got a scale from Peter R

I've got a large Insingo & love it. Unfortunately, it's not practical for work carry, so I carry on my days off. However, I, personally, really want a small fixed Busse or kin to wear @ 4 o'clock high on my belt on my days off. Just a thought.

emersons are very stiff out of the box. heres a link to the beast. I got one waiting at the house myself. http://www.threesistersforge.com/folder.php?fmPage=60
 
That Three Sisters looks awesome. So it's ridiculously tough ti lock or elegant thin ti lock. :P Nice. I'm really excited. How long does Three Sister take to deliver the knife? I wanted to get it before July.

if you search youtube you can find some reviews that are all glowing. I got mine just over a week after first inquiring about it. Its made to be used so tough more so than elegant.
