Indeed. I even got the nerdy wallet when they were for sale.

ZT 0550. You can find them for $160 or less all day long in the exchange. Probably the toughest folder made in that price range.

 

[kwazyjuice]

I would try to get the zt 0566! It's not out yet, but supposed to be shortly

 

[Urdnot Wrex]

Okay so I've narrowed it down the Adamas, 0550, and 0200.

 

[Skimo]

Adamas.

 

[VENI VIDI VICI]

oh that makes sense, im more of a halo fan myself though... *cough cough "halo TV series" cough cough, Steven Spielberg...................... cough... 343

 

[Urdnot Wrex]

Adamas.

Just watched vininull's hard use test on the Adamas and it stood up exceptionally well to those tests.

Get the 0550 cuz it has the most customization available there are tons of scales you can get its nice being able to make the knofe look the way you want

 

[Skimo]

Pshhhhhh, with the Benchmade, you have Keyman... Virtually unlimited modifications

 

[TotalDbag]

ZT 0550. It's Ti framelock is nice and thick. And it's also VERY ergonomic. Good steel, and the best warranty to boot.

Pshhhhhh, with the Benchmade, you have Keyman... Virtually unlimited modifications

ZT's got Rival and Kryptoglow, and the Preacher..........And a few of Hinderer's aftermarket parts will fit the 0550

Who/what is Keyman?

I know the ZT knives have a ton of scales available.

Keyman is a knife customizer. He makes scales, and other stuff like that.
Same for Rival, Kryptoglow, etc.
Rival can pimp your knives. (Acid/stonewash, scales, etc.)

 

[Blade-fiend]

Keyman is a great custom scale maker he has tons of posts in the pics of customized production knives thread. But i agree with TotalDBag rival and kryptoglow are awsome at making ZT scales

 

[Urdnot Wrex]

Ahh...not really thinking of aftermarket for my knife. Just thinking of it's performance currently.

You can get the Gen 1 for $145 at kershawguy.com

 

[Blade-fiend]

I dont know what gen is it but amazon is selling the 0550 for 155

 

[CWIN]

For your price range, I'd go with a Benchmade 810 Contego. Also, if you look in the exchange, ZT 0550/0560's are going for around $185.

Okay so let's narrow it down. 0550 vs Adamas. Pros and cons of both. I really do not care much about customizing either.
