Umnumzaan pics

I'm sure there will be one in my future...preferably one in MagnaCut when they become (more) available. For now, I'll enjoy looking at your images. :cool: :thumbsup:
 
The Zaan is most certainly a worker; not as comfortable as the Inkosi or Sebenza (at least in my hands) but a very competent tool.

I think you need one.

Obligatory pic:

All hands are different - I find the Zaan the most comfortable of the three mentioned. I love how the blade tang fills the area right where the index finger and thumb "pinch" the knife.
 
Need some input from the Zaan experts. I managed a new Umnumzaan. It’s been a minute since I’ve bought a new Umnumzaan. How are we feeling about this lockup? Tang shows about 35% marking. A really slow opening doesn’t give a solid lockup but opening it sharply will provide what looks to be a 35% +/- lockup based on my eye.

Now I know Umnumzaans have to be broken in with the O-rings, ceramic ball, etc. but how would you all feel about this one. I feel like Umnumzaans are usually 50-70% lockup. Thoughts? Pics for reference.

Man, that looks perfect to my eye. Congrats on the score!
 
35% lock up is what my 4 have, take the o-ring off ant it locks up to about 60%. I have found that with time the o-ring will start to deform and become flat. That makes the lock up less than 35%.
