I picked up a Watu a few days ago, but I wanted to carry it for a bit before posting about it (since it's so damn weird). It's a great knife! I love how thin the blade stock is... It's so slicey! I really like the blade shape. It's nearly a wharncliffe until you get near the tip. Good stuff. Ergonomics are great, which seems weird to me. I mean this thing is a stick that is flared on the ends... Why does it feel so good?! I really like the finish they decided to go with on the carbon fiber laminate. I think the Spyderco smooth carbon fiber is too smooth, and the peel-ply too grippy, lol. This is just right! I thought I didn't like carbon fiber/g10 laminate, but it turns out, I just didn't like the finish that was being used. I really hope Spyderco uses this same (or similar) texture on other knives going forward. I love Spyderco's wire clips, so I'm pleased with that. Centering is perfect. Action is perfect. The grind is really good. My only complaints are that it's a little too big for my liking and I wish the kick wouldn't hit my finger when closing the knife. All in all, winner.
very nice!!! If Buck made that in a Damasteel blade I'd be all over it!! Love the look of that knife and have since my youth!!!

I can't find any faults so far, super light for the size, fantastic action, great ergos. I'm going to grab one of the plain bead blasted versions as well if I can. GPK had them last week but the plain TI sold out in under 2 minutes. By the time I saw the alert email they were gone.

Snagged a very good condition ZT 0095BW off the knifeswap subreddit. The most underrated ZT, in my opinion. I don't know why it was discontinued.

The first 'real' knife I bought with my own money.
I remember some cheapo knives; probably got them in Chinatown.
Buck 110 was a knife to envy but me being me wanted something different.
Kershaw Black Horse. I remember cutting myself on this knife as it was my first wicked sharp blade.
I was a Kershaw fanboy back then; I also had an Amphibian and lusted for a DWO.
One for the shelf and memories...

Had this Schatt & Morgan whittler (and the pork chop
That looks like a chunk of ham rather than a pork chop. Nice knife.
