I like that blackout!Yeah, I think I could get along with a 566 just fine.
Ive been carrying this BM CF Stryker in M4 for a bit. Really like it.
That is supposed to be an excellent steel. How do you like it? Have you sharpened it yet?

So nice! Have you handled an Umnumzaan or compared the two?

Actually I sold my Zaan on the exchange here along with my Z-Wear Strider SnG when I got my 25.
It's amazing. The 25 to me, is everything good about a Zaan put into everything good about a 21 for EDC. Leaving out the parts that suck about a Zaan like the lock bar access, o-rings and lock bar stabilizer then adding a finger grove that feels like it was designed for my hand.
I don't have any Striders anymore nor any Hinderers.
I still have some 21s because you can't get the old Raindrop pattern not the UGs and the same inlays in a 25.
So when I want a knife to work I use the 25. When I want something pretty or to do some light duty, I take a 21.

That's good to know and thank you for the info. I keep going back and forth on buying a higher end folder because I really don't use them, but CRK's just do something for me. Maybe I'll get a nice used one in the future so I won't be scared to use it.

Don't be scared to use it. The scales take on a nice patina and wear on the edges really well. They get better with use. I only have 1 I've never carried (it's a unique one that I had on order forever) and of all the ones I've sold I have never lost money. Well I have one on order now and if it comes as nice as the last one that will be two I've never used. If not I'll sell it and probably lose a little.
I highly recommend you buy a used one in good shape to try. I bet you will never go back.

The carbon fiber version is but does that change the size specs? I didn't look.

That's what I carry in the country or on day hikes. In town on my own time it's usually a Sage 1. And at work it's a Chaparral.

The pm2 is my favorite one hander. Love the Manix 2 as well, but I probably carry my endura 4, cause of work. (Its cheaper to get stolen.)
