  • Today marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11. I pray that this nation does not forget the loss of lives from this horrible event. Yesterday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered, and I worry about what is to come. Please love one another and your family in these trying times - Spark

Pick 1 ZT or post 1

Even though the 0392 is one of my favorite ZT designs i have never owned/handled one so i leave it out of the equation.
I believe the 0640 gives a different perspective to the ZT lineup, and it's one of the smoothest -in the hydraulic feeling category, not the fly-open on bearings type- knives i've handled.

As far as 'good' manual knives that run on washers, I have owned a Large Sebenza 31, a Large inkosi, an mnandi, 2 times the Spyderco stovepipe, and a couple more Spydercos made in Taiwan but i don't remember if they were running on washers. From these, only my first stovepipe and, if i remember well, the mnandi were on par or better, but for a higher premium of course.

Also, that design really connects with me. The blade looks classy but dangerous at the same time, while also giving off a hunting knife vibe.
My only complaint is that the opening disk is on the small side and not really easy to use, so i am currently waiting on an aftermarket one to replace it.

So, yeah, in case i wasn't clear, i'll go with the 0640 😁
