On the hunt for?

Looking for a Tiger or a Fighter. I will probably end up with a CQC-15 full size with partial serrations or a phalanx. I have been bitten by the bug

The Tiger is a production knife now, so chances are you'll be able to get one for retail at some point or another. You can find them on eBay. A Combat Systems Fighter (Tiger blade/RH handle) might be harder to find/get, if that's what you are referring to.
 
I think I am at these list wise:

Zealot
Custom Tanto
Custom Kwaiken

I would love to find a few of the real rare pieces. But, I'm not going to consider them on the list.

And now after the feeding frenzy of acquisition, I have some stuff to get rid of.
 
Just got the serrated Tiger in the mail. Very impressed. Wish the blade was a tad more proportionate to the handle but I understand why and overall very happy. It is super secure in withdraw cuts and very comfortable. Probably going to sell my ZT0620 and ZT0630 to fund more Emerson's. Between the Vindicator (highly underrated) and this Tiger I really have the sickness.

Check out the Aftershock - now THAT is underrated.

Both those ZT's are very nice knives. I have the pair and I'll be hanging onto them since they are Emerson designs.
 
True I probably should as they are well built and finished knives in S35VN and ELMAX but without starting a war I do prefer liner locks to frame locks. I have had several slip on me and one cut my index finger on my left hand down almost to the bone. Luckily it was so sharp and clean of a cut it didn't that hurt much and I sealed it up with skin stitch.

I picked them both up in M390 but have the CTS version of the 0620 as well.

As far as the Hunting, I have started to sell a few that just are not for me (no surprise, I just am not into trailing point folders, don't know what I was thinking). I have 2 Custom 7's coming which I will share pictures of when they get here.

But number one on the Hitlist is Custom Tanto. Recon1 had that Custom Skull Logo Tanto from Blade this year for sale, but I missed it! I love the skull logo.

I have my eye on a few different Bowie style as well as tanto style Emerson’s. That is definitely one of them!

I always thought the Commander had the best grip of all, until I handled an Aftershock. A bit more Roadhouse-like than Commander-ish, but IMHO definitely a step up from either.
