How about an Umnumzaan?

How about an Umnumzaan?

Yeah thought about it but a little too polished for me. I like the more aggressive looks and feel of a ZT, or Strider.

i think I may go with a couple ZT 300 series blems for the price of one used strider. then i may have one altered to be manual open.

you might want to take a look at a couple of cold steel blades

Not sure what's wrong with the 0200 scales, but I'm sure you could get custom ones made for under your price range if you wanted. Other large blade tactical options that come to mind are the Spyderco Military, Benchmade 710, Bedlam, and AFCK/TSEK, and Pohl Force Alpha series. The AFCK/TSEK is discontinued, but they just did sprint runs with M390 steel from knifeworks. If I hadn't just spent too much on a ZT 0551, I'd be all over that.

I have a ZT 0200 and love it. I had a BM710 as well but I think the ZT is one of the heavier of the large folders.
