Time for a ZT0450 giveaway from USA Made Blade

I've been a sad panda since I sold my ZT 0561 but I'm back to having a few good choices with an Enzo Birk 75 scandi and ZTs 0562, 0801, and a just-added-today 0452.

The Birk definitely hangs with the other knives, very under valued knives in my opinion, I just sold another last week to fund a flat ground Borka.

Nothing much that hasn't been said about the 0562cf, it is amazing. The 0801 is the smoothest opening knife I've laid mitts on. The 0452cf hasn't gotten any pocket time yet, it's well built and flips nice but it seems to be pushing it boundaries of what a sensible size to carry is.

Then the practical pocket usually has a SAK Farmer or Huntsman. The Farmer is great but I like having the saw and scissors on the Huntsman.

My primary carry is a Spyderco Stretch SuperBlue. Have juat recently acquired a Stretch in Vg-10 to mix it up. This knife has been more steadily arried than any other i have owned and dont see if being booted from the pocket anytime soon.
Thanks for the opportunity.
 
I'm in - Thank you kindly for the chance!

I typically pack around a slip joint and a locking folder or fixed blade. The slip joint will typically be a GEC Bullnose, Viktorinox Farmer or a Victorinox cadet. With the fixed or locking folder, it will typically be my TM Hunt Magua, a BK11, an Izula, a Griptilian or Manix 2. The TM Hunt Magua seems to take a disproportionate share of carry time though. :D
 
Bg-42 small regular sebenza is my primary carry, but I also like to mix in some of over 40 spydercos for some variety.

Thanks for the chance to enter.

I'm in and thanks buddy! I have about 3 EDC's in the rotation, but my favorite most used one is a benchmade grip in m4. I use it for anything and everything - don't baby it (pry heavy staples out of packages, snap and twist zip ties, cut insulation, cut on metal, etc.). Pic coming soon.

Thanks for the chance Whitty, I'm in...
Been through a LOT of different folders in the last year...

I've been carrying either my Ferrum Forge Fortis, Mordax or Mako for the last 3 - 4 months.
Really like FF's designs and the flipper action is fantastic!
 
Hinderer XM-18 3" is my main EDC. It's taken me a lot of bought, sold and traded knives to figure out what I really like. The XM has been my most relied upon EDC knife for the last couple of years now. The ZT 0450 has many of the elements that the XMs have, and thus would clearly be a great EDC knife as well.

Thanks for the generosity and the chance.

I have been rotating between a number of different Rough Rider Trappers that I have been buying for the past year.
 
I've had to pare my knife collection down at bit, but lately I carry one of my small fixed blades as an EDC, especially on short hikes. I do carry a SAK, Buck 110 or cadet as well.
 
Generally I cycle a few ZTs .. an 0566BW, an 0350, an 0770CF, or one of my many 0550s. Some others occasionally make their way in, but if I went down that rabit hold this would turn into a giant list of everything I own.
 
Thank you for the chance at one of these great knives! My EDC is generally the latest acquisition as I'm going through the honey moon phase and then rotate in a couple top favorites. Love the ano colors on those 0450's, looking good :-)
 
I rotate through a lot for EDC. Usually a traditional, modern, and multitool/SAK. Almost always it's my Titanium Fluted Native or Black Serrated Native, a GEC, and a Victorinox Classic or Huntsman.
