Spyderco lw bd-1 sharpend to 15 dps with the edge pro unthil 600grid. Slices hair like butter keeps the edge for a good time standard and it is so easy to keep it that way.
^^^ Is that the Masakage Shimo line? I have a Yuki, but the Shimo is highly recommended and is on my wish list. Great looking knife.
I'm sure it's not intended that way but it could be a trick question
Well, personal opinion: For what they are, without taking anything away from the excellent knife the ZT is, my preference goes with the CQC-7.
When I don't have to wave it, I like to ride the thumbstud when I open my folders and this is one of the reasons I prefer liner lock before frame locks.
Also I think chisel grind cuts better than flat grind and if possible I'd go with tanto shape with chisel grind.
620 is an excellent knife, I find it slightly overbuild but I absolutely love it. Great, just a right size ergos for my hand, solid action and lock, bearings ( that I really don't care about in such knife),
it flips great with thumb action only. Well balanced and actually a millimeter and so If I'm not mistaking, thinner handle than the CQC.
Still, the Emerson have smaller footprint, carries easily, thinner blade for better penetration and great neutral profile of the handle, feels fine with every grip.
I hope I was able to provide the info you're looking for

Yeah this Rat 1 is a keeper and wow does it fire nice can't stop letting it rip lol .Gave my brother a brown Rat 2 about a year and a half ago. He still carries it over his Manix 2 and Endura sometimes. Still loves how it fires out! So good.
You're onto something, dude. Dig 'em!
