Always had a love-hate relationship with the ZT0562, loving the handle and the slicer grind (and of course the action) but not really connecting with the overall blade design.

Very nice. I like. Can you extend the swedge out closer to the tip? Either way i like it!

Thanks! I'm not messing anymore with it since i've brought this to a design that i really like.
It was "broken" and i've fixed it, anything more will take it back to "broken". As most of us, i've learned this the hard way

I had to fix up this SixLeaf SL-35. While TwoSun usually does a decent job, their budget brand is more of a mixed bag. Despite already using budget materials, it really feels like they just banged this one out. The scale fit isn't great. The action came dirty and gritty. The way that edge terminated...

Cleaning up the action was easy. Strangely, this one runs its bearings against steel washers set against the steel liners. The misfit was minor so I was reluctant to mess around with fitting the scales to the liners. However, I did go around the parts that interface with the hand and soften the ergonomics. It's much more comfortable now. The big thing was clearing the plunge with a large enough sharpening choil.

I see what you mean about Two-Sun "banging this one out".
Thanks for all of the info., it's appreciated.

You are welcome. I might write up a quick review in the review section but I'm feeling lazy now.

New pants for my wife's Keanison Basset Hound to match my HMC Transient 2.9! The Transient has pure white CamoQuartz, while the Basset Hound is sporting Brittany Blue CamoQuartz.
