Hiya blade forum members. I am calling on your help once again. I started my membership here requesting info on the zt560. Which many had very good things to say about it. Thanks!! i since purchased the zt560 and wow.. Its everything ive read and more.. I love this knife. I can see this knife being passed down in family generations. Was def worth the buy. But thats not why im writing this post.
I am in the market for a new knife. I collect knifes as sorta a hobby.. I love em more than i really use em.. lol Pry have 50 or so in my collection. Most serve no purpose (fantasy knifes) Only recently started getting into practical knifes that will be used on a every day basis. Why the ZT560 was my first pick. Been carrying this knife around as a EDC for a few months now and its awsome.. but a bit big. And find myself keeping it in my pocket as to not scare people as i pull it out. I figure its a knife I would carry while doing outdoor activities (Hiking, Camping, Cutting firewood) Not one id carry every single place i went. (Tad to big). So ive been looking at something a little bit smaller but still very nice. One that caught my eye was the Spyderco Para 2. Looks nice and has great reviews.. but worried it may still be to big.. or that i wont like it coming from a Zt560. Can anyone comment on this subject.. about the Spyderco or maybe a completely different knife?
Note: I have never owned a Sypderco knife.. Every time i look at one online it just looks cheap. Which i know is not the case. Just need to get past the visual aspect of it and really hold one and try it i guess. Ohh...I also looked at the benchmade griptillian. At any rate id like a knife around 3" Blade or smaller, Light weight.. Good steal. And nice looking.
