I've been really thinking about purchasing my first real high-end production/midtech knife as a graduation present and lately I've been thinking about either a Strider SnG or a StarTac Umnumzaan. For the past week I've been leaning towards the StarTac and I was wondering if any of you could put your 2-cents in on my decision!
 
The StarTac is amazing. But I also like the SnG. My vote is for the StarTac unless you can find a Strider in one of the more rare steels like Z Wear or something along those lines.
 
I'm saving up for one. I owned a small Starbenza, loved the pattern. It's the CRK to have in my opinion.
 
I own a Large Starbenza and a older 4-hole pivot Zaan (no lockbar overtravel stop). Love both, carry the Zaan more. I personally am very partial to that particular iteration of the Umnumzaan, and I'd suspect finding a StarTac version would be pretty difficult.

 
If you have the funds, get a WC Zaan. Awesome blade! Do yourself a favor though and try a Strider downnthenroad as well. Then after that will come a Hinderer lol. Serious though--- WC Zaan is badazz

The WC Zaan really badass! The Star bursts pattern is the icing on the cake. Thanks for the input everyone. I don't mind the new pivot, and I do like that I don't need a proprietary tool. I think im going to put in the order today.

Dang it, you're gonna make me have to order one too. My bank account is gonna be unhappy about this.
 
I like the SnG better but the wc zaan is a good knife as well. Have owned them both zwear SnG carry all the time and I sold the zaan. I didn't like the way the lock bar felt when I was holding it tight. The little cut dug into my hand.
