I can't leave anything stock ;) I been playin with these Zaan's since they came out and have tailored a couple to be my favorite EDC knives....the action of these knives is smooth as silk...lock up is solid....release is the sweetest of any knife i own (and i own a few).

I recently had some new studs made that are a little longer and they are siiick...much more positive....my tanto has CRK's 2pcs studs and has thousands of cycles with NO issues at all...i am going to replace them with the new 2 piece threaded titanium ones because i like the leverage they give.

Reeve's Zaan rocks....i see the threads with all the questions and i just laugh...the knives are awesome...the tip is strong as hell (not to thin) lock up is the best...they are smooth and fast as hell ,once broken in...for me they are not to big...i forget there in my pocket...they sharpen easy and hold a great edge.

I have seen some folks compare these Zaan's with cheaper productions ...i do just the opposite...i compare them with all the high dollar customs i own and have owned...like i said....the zaan's get the carry time.....i do luv Sebenza's and own many....but i like the Zaan better.

Mark those are Kick-Ass :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
 
OK...how did you do that (or who did it for you and what exactly did they do??? :D) and where did you get those studs??? :)
 
Mark-

Those look nice!! Glad to see them all together (tanto and reg)
I think you may have just convinced me to get the tanto!

I been polishing stuff on my hotrods and Harley's for years so i'm pritty good at it, although S30V and Titanium are a nightmare...S30V is the biggest pain in the ass.

Bill Hyde made the awesome studs...there's more to them than meets the eye...Bill is a outstanding machinist. :)
 
Those are fantastic. You did a great job with them. I LOVE the new thumb studs.
