Folder Chat: Since we can't have INFI, what's the next best option?

[BePrepared]

I've always thought the perfect folder would be a collaboration knife between two great Ohio knife makers. Rick Hinderer Knives and Busse Combat. Hinderer produces the frame lock, Busse does the INFI blade. That would give us all of the great benefits of INFI steel in a folder in a rock solid frame lock design. I would love to see a forum folder offered from these two makers.

If it was a bladeforum, Busse/Hinderer collab, i'd be all over it. That one would be worth turning my wallet inside out for.

The folder that's closest to a fixed blade that I've handled so far has been the ZT 0560. Mine arrived a couple of weeks back and it punted the PM2 out of my pocket and actually had me thin out my small folder collection even further. It's just a solid beast of a blade that has a surprisingly reasonable weight for its size. If I can't pack my LMS or TGLB then the 0560 is by far the next best thing in my opinion. Elmax seems to be much like INFI in its attributes, as well, at least in that it's corrosion resistant, tough, and has good edge retention.

I like my 0560, I carry it a lot more than my Hinderer xm24 as it is slimmer and lighter.
