Got it on the exchange šŸ‘, but is a nice example. Just replaced the o rings. #006, found some at ace hardware. But yes, great knife! Took a little bit to get used to the opening technique which is different from my Inkosi.

Nice good to know about the o rings when the times comes Iā€™ll head to my local ace šŸ‘šŸ»
Im suprised CRK doesnā€™t throw a extra set in there since they will wear over time. Not a big deal but Iā€™ll see how many miles I get on mine.
Yes much different then the Inkosi which I love also. The Zaan isnā€™t as fidget friendly at least mine isnā€™t sheā€™s pretty tight but I like it as it should break in wonderful. Itā€™s already starting to with just a couple days of pocket and table top carry. But man in hand I love the feel and texture of the handle and just the balance of the knife. When I put it in my hand it just screams Let me cut something please lol.

Agreed on the extra set of o rings. I bought mine 2nd hand, so I wasn't sure. But 100% not fidget friendly for me either, I'm hoping it gets a bit easier to open over time.

One thing I noticed, is that the pocket clip puts a considerable amount of force on the lock. At first I had an extremely hard time opening and I couldn't figure out why. And my hand was off the clip and lock. I then pulled the clip off the lock and went to open it. It flew open with ease! So, you might want to check yours as well, pulling it out just a little might help ease the action a bit. Just don't bend it too far ;). Or you could remove the clip first to see if that helps and if it does, then try to adjust the tension.

But yes, otherwise, I love the handle, ergo's, etc. It's a real joy to use!

Thanks for the tip ! For sure no pressure on the lockbar or your in for a sore thumb. I found that if I rest my finger on the lock bar stop I know my finger isnā€™t on the lockbar and it opens much easier. Itā€™s breaking in very nice now for sure.
Now my finger is automatically going to that lockbar stop when opening.

Itā€™s only early Sunday evening but picked my carry for Monday out since tomorrow is my first day back to work from vacation šŸ˜² and going to try to head off to bed a head of time to get a jump on the nights sleep since my sleep pattern has been all over the board just like vacations should be šŸ˜
Decided to go relatively light and definitely slicey to ease me back into the saddle.

Gearing up to gut my collection (always a painful process šŸ„³), and I'm surprised -- maybe even bemused -- that the Bad Monkey is thus far making the cut, even over more expensive knives with fancier materials. Such is the power of Rick Grimes. :D
