Okay, so I am new to this forum but wanted some input. I am in the market to purchase another high end EDC blade. The only knife I have that I paid over 50 dollars for currently is a zt566bw. I absolutely love this knife's feel in hand, but am looking for something that does not have assisted opening.
My first attempt to an alternative blade was a benchmade 940 g10. I really liked the action on it but the blade was not centered when I got it and the blade had way to much play side to side. I tried tweaking the scales and centuring the blade but I could not get it right. Back to the seller it went. Sorry, but I can get a heck of a lot better blade I think for 170 bucks.
So currently, I am looking at a zt562 in g10 or cf or maybe a manix2 g10. Weight is not much of a concern, it is more comfort in pocket and useability. I am leaning towards a 562 because I love my 566, I somehow think the Spyderco wont do it for me. I may even wait until shotshow because i am hoping they will release a 562 in blackwash. Just looking for some input these knives or anything else anyone wants to add. Thanks!
