I LOVE your Mayo's!! WOW!! My favorite framelocks? Sebenza, Scott Cook Lochsa, Hinderer Firetac, DDR Gun Hammer & AXD-NG, Combat Elite RRF.
 
My favorites? My Spyderco SS Cricket and Benchmade Skirmish.

:edit: Why? The Cricket is super-useful, sheeple friendly, and easy to carry. Also given to me by my sweetie.
I like the Skirmish because of its nice fit and finish and because it is friggin' huge.
 
My favorites are Sebbies, and Matt Cuchiara, only own one from him but it is a converted Commander and it is pretty nice. keepem sharp

Did you notice that I love flat blades :)

The sebenza is great and the firtac but they don't have flat blades ;)
 
The Bump of course.

Followed by the mini skirmish

Followed probably by the buck mayo tnt...I really would like to use one, but they're so unavailable to me.

Really haven't looked into customs. But DDR has some really cool framelocks, as well as KO.
 
I love that titanium Lum!!!!! I could die a happy man with a folder like that.
 
The only high-end framelock that I own is a Large Classic Sebenza. I love it. Edit: Forgot my Skirmish. Love that one too.

My next two big knife purchases will be a Firetac and an SMF. Behind the Sebbie (*cough* and Skirmish *cough*), they are the high-end framelocks that interest me the most.

I also want a Buck Mayo TNT, and a real Mayo TNT, but they will at least be after the Firetac and SMF and probably after I get a few non-framelocks to mix up my purchases.
 
I LOVE framelocks; as they are my FAVORITE!! I too want a REAL Mayo TNT and TMX for that matter.
 
Got two sebbies, a small NICA tanto and ebony inlaid with gold clasic. Carry them but not used. Got a Buck-Mayo TNT also. A talonite bladed titanium handles by Matt Cook. I would like a small folder by A German maker, Wilkins,his version of the Wegner Mouse. Saw a pic of it in his website, beautiful! Broke right now!
 
Sweet lookin Mayos' but I must say I envy your chinese folders I really like em and havent been able to get ahold of one:cool:. My fav is my DDR Gunhammer, next is prolly one of my sebbies. Next is the SNG. and the rest ehhh. I love my ddr real solid knife with the assist an alll.......realy sweet. I really want a lochsa and I am probably going to order one.
 
barrabas74: You and I have the same taste in knives!!! Yes, DO order a Lochsa!!!
 
TheKnifeCollectore: I have wanted a Locksa for a while problem is I dont know if I want a plain one that I might use, or if I want a damascus one to put on the wall. And with the wait for em I dont want to get a nice one and want to make it my edc or get a plain one, and put it up you know, thats why I havent ordered one yet still decidin.

That's not a custom

so it does not belong here

Oh really?

It sure does belong here and where is the word "custom" in the heading of this post?

If you think they are not a limited run of customized Spydercos just try to find one to buy with the ZDP189 blade, which I'm betting has a higher Rockwell hardness than any of yours.

I think are confused with the Sebbies and Striders, etc.
