M1 or HEST 2.0?

HEST and M1 both good blades, what about the ZT 0551 I see many on the forums for sale. and IMO the ZT 0551 beats them both. plus a percentage of all ZT sales go to the Veterans.

I agree zt0551 imo is a better choice for sure

I don't know much about RYP, but I do know that my DPX Hest/F 2.0 is a very solid knife, I have been carrying it, and I have had no problems at all with it. It locks up solid, came very sharp, and their customer service is excellent. I sent in my 1.0 and they sent me a 2.0 that had some flaws, and they had me send that one for a replacement, and got a free T-shirt too. They responded to my emails very fast, and sent out the replacements very fast also. I like my Hest/F 2.0, I've never owned an M1 but I hear they are also very solid knives.

Wait, am I understanding this right? It is a very solid knife, but they had to send you a replacement?

I just received my HEST 2.0 today. It is a well built knife. It's going to be my edc knife. It is worth the money. No problems yet.

I have a hest 2.0 and it is made by Lion steel of Italy. The makers of the SR-1 Ti, one of my all time favs. So far the Hest 2.0 is solid, slightly tight opening and closing but im sure some lube or use will smooth it out. Love the look and feel of it.
