My first Brous blade, well made, centered, reasonably sharp (I'll be fine tuning it), D2. Great quality, a little smaller than I am used to lately, I've been carrying ZT's for the past several years.


 
What are the size specs on that - blade length vs handle length? Just curious since pictures can be deceiving.

I had been carrying ZT560 for a couple of years so a lot of my newer knives seemed smaller compared to that beast, lol I bought a ZT 0450CF but ended up selling it because it was just too small for me. Really wonderful solid little thing, but just too small. That Brous looks like a nice replacement for it.
 
Case 640055R from 1984 was in my stocking.

A Kinsfolk 398 fixed blade from late '30s/early '40s and a Case 325-6 fixed blade from 1940s are enroute.

It's tradition for my sister-in-law to give a knife for Christmas - roughly $100 budget. I asked for (and got) a brass flytanium Skyline. I like it, and I like the extra weight the scales give it.

That's a Bionic, it's smaller than the ZT 0450, so it's probably too small for you . . .
 
I bought it a few weeks ago, but didn't want to post about it until I gave it to my father (even though I'm pretty sure he's not on this forum). But I gave my dad a small Sebenza 21 carbon fiber Knife Art exclusive so he has a nice EDC blade.

Wife grabbed me two BK17's when's they went on clearance. Impressive that she wasn't tuning me out when I was taking about Kabar discontinuing them.

I had a ZT 0450 and it was too small for my hand also, so I sold it. Just bought another one; hoping maybe this one grew a little larger in transit. Such a neat knife, couldn't help myself.
