Thanks
It's crazy how the 940 went from "hey this is pretty light weight" to "hey where did it go?"

New Spartans are stone washed. Very well done, and beats the heck out of a bead blast finish.

Gayle Bradley again. I have been slowly gravitating back toward smaller folders (compared to the two Emersons, and the Bad Monkey I have been carrying the GB is small to me haha). The fit/finish on this blade is really incredible for the price point, it is super smooth, and is surprisingly ergonomic.

Oh, and I have a Vic Manager and a BK14 as well

Oh, and it's not a small folder!

I highly recommend it man, I have always been a huge fan of ZT but not a big fan of Spyderco. I prefer it to most of the ZT blades I own as well as my current Benchmades except for my Contego.
Plus you are correct, it is not small. It is definitely smaller than what I have been carrying, especially when you are used to reaching for something like the Vindicator/BM.
My smallest carry of late was the Kershaw Camber, great blade as well.

This new replicant is taking some getting used to compared to my 62. It flips so easily that I have trouble keeping up with my fingers
One beast of a large Bali though...a little more time and maybe I'll have some roll-overs down with it though...maybe

Yeah yeah, I'll get it soon don't worry. Won't be very much though. Right now I only know 3 different opens, and I'm still trying to master the rollover to keep from dropping the knife every 3rd try
I did figure out that practicing rollovers and other horizontal moves is best done on of above the bed though. Not likely to puncture even if the tip hits, soft enough not to damage anything, and a short fall so you don't instinctively go to grab the knife...only took once to figure out that was a bad idea
I'll probably smooth out the milling on the handles a little tonight too. The G10 tends to be a little rough on the edges, and a nice radiused bevel around the milling should fix it right up
Someone really needs to ship me a copy of these "rules" everyone keeps talking about, because everyone keep telling me what they are, but no one will show them to me

Nice EDC Charr! When I got a notification on my phone saying you posted in the EDC IV thread I knew it was a balisong and your Shirogorov. Love that knife
Thanks man!
The shiro very rarely leaves my pocket, though when I'm out on the weekends I tend to switch for either my Ferrum Forge Ferrox (smoothed out and working great for anyone interested-review coming hopefully this week from me) or sometimes my Diskin Fire. The trusty Sebenza 25 still get some love too, though not as much as I'd like.
I can only really carry a bali with me at work and when I know where I'm going for the day, since I live right on the state line, and it's illegal on the other side. I very rarely have any run-ins with cops, but I really wouldn't like to have one in my pocket when I did, because, you know, those balis will just jump out of your pocket and attack people, they're SO dangerous
I need more pockets!
