I think the 0560cbcf covers most of this. Smoothed out, super steel...
Silvanus says this...
Taichung Taiwan finally gets the respect that it has already earned.
I hope this will be a fun thread....
I've just been thinking of design changes or just things in the knife world I'd like to see happen but through either production costs or manufacturing capabilities or whatever probably won't.
1) A "CC" ZT0560 - I'd really like to see a ZT0560 handle done like a Strider CC model with smooth g10 and Ti. Throw in an M390 blade and I think we would have a winner.
2) A knife collaboration between Hinderer, Emerson, and Busse. Basically a XM-18 3.5" spanto or slicer grind with a .125 stock blade made of INFI and Emerson quality G10 with a wave feature instead of a flipper. I wish I was an artist because I'd like to show off how awesome it looks in my head.
So let your imaginations go, let's see what you'd like to happen in the world of knives.
It would also be nice if occasionally Hinderer would extend to everyone LE pricing.
