I have that sinking feeling that I'm about to go on a neurotic hunt for a new knife! Bah, who am I kidding, I was searching way before I got the cash! ;-). Several spydercos on my radar, and a couple of benchmades. My collection is small so I'm still looking for some "must have" knives. Right now I have dragonfly salt, manix 2 lightweight, and bm mini grip. I like them all, so what's next??

Don't ask me what I need! I don't have any needs, only wants! Hehehe

Here's where you can find bm mini grip. Limited edition.

well you should have atleast 1 of each of the big 3, spyderco, benchmade and Kershaw/ZT so a knockout, 0550, 0560, or skyline might be some to look at :) but it never hurts to have more spydies hahaha. A delica, endura, PM2, gayle Bradley or southard are some must haves :D
 
Umm, it was a pretty expensive guitar, so there's LOTS of options. :-). I'm open to checking out the zt line, but I don't know, their blades seem pretty thick and heavy. Not that that's bad, just not sure that's what I want. I'll start checking em out...never paid too much attention.
 
Hmm, I kind of like the looks of that zt0200! I actually like the partially serrated version too! I'm normally not a fan of combo edges, but I really like how they did this! Pretty much a full size pe blade with a small se back by the choil. Kind of like having a normal blade but having se if u need it! Cool knife. Not sure if 154cm wouldn't be my first choice in such an expensive blade.
 
Spyderco Millie...Spyderco PM2...@ least one ZT...Look into CRK/Hinderer/Strider...The Microtech Socom Delta is pretty nice...a Kershaw or two...Benchmade Contego...(this list should keep you busy a while :D )
 
Are you wanting folder or fixed?

For folders: Zero Tolerance, Darrel Ralph/HTM, or maybe even Hinderer or CRK? If you're really flush, you should get yourself a grail knife.
 
Do you have a decent multi-tool and/or SAK yet? Maybe a fixed blade? How's about a dressier knife for suit carry? Perhaps a traditional pocket knife or two? So many great options out there... maybe try something completely different from your current inventory!

Good luck, OP! :)

ZT's 154CM is very good. I have a ZT200 that I use as my beater knife, and 154CM will take a lot of punishment without chipping. The edge is rather obtuse, however. Even after re-profiling, the ZT200 still isn't the best cutter in the world.
 
All good suggestions above. I love the 950 Rift and 810 Contego. If you want a real workhorse, buy an Emerson. The CQC-10 is one of my favorite models. Here's mine:

Does the wave design work on your Emerson? I seen videos but was just wonder what your experience was?
 
Time to get yourself some Beckers. :) Or just buy a custom from one of the knife makers here.

What? You don't own at least one ZT knife? I think that's where you need to start.

This is true, I keep going to kershawguys site looking at all those beautiful ZTs, I'm trying real hard not to buy anything, but he's got a couple limited editions on there I'm eyeing up.
