I guess I ought to list what I own.

Southern Grind Spider Monkey
TSF Beast
PM2
Dfly ZDP
Spydie GB
Kizer 423
Brous Bionic (which I never use, but is too beat up to sell)

I've owned the Southard, hated it. Sold it three days later.
I've had ZT's 0350, 0801, 0561, 0770CF. If the 0770CF de-assisted well, I would have kept it. Everything else, to heavy.

The Cruwear Manix 2 is nice, but I prefer my CTS-XHP version:

edc sized fixed blade?
Or what about the Stryker exclusive in CF and M4?

I know you said not a huge fan of the brand, but it is an exclusive and not that common.

Yup!!! And it is a fantastical knife!!
Ridiculously smooth, locks up tight as a drum with nada movement, excellent steel that takes a demon like edge and flicks like a dream!
One of my favorite BMs!

More than I can afford.

I'll throw my 2 cents in here, I had a positron for a day and didn't like it. It looks nice but feels terrible, not good in the hand at all. I also had a domino that I regret getting rid of, I will need to buy myself one of those again o e day.

KOD, have you considered any traditional knives? If you've never tried a quality trad, I think you should give one a try. Perhaps even a friction folder might spice up your knife-life, Knifecenter has some customs by Hiroaki Ohta for around $80 with D2 steel and wood handles. $80 ain't bad for a custom that is entirely handmade:thumbup:

Quick question. Is the G-10/20CV Grip/mini-Grip that much better to warrant the price increase over a Ritter in M390?
