We got several of these in stock back during the craze and despite my desire to keep one for myself I sold them all off. This is an itch I had to scratch! I now have one heading my way and I want to keep it and use it! What I want are some pictures and feedback from those that are using one everyday! Just want to get myself hyped up to make sure I keep this one this time!

Thanks,

Whitty
 
I use mine a couple of times a week, normally just cutting cardboard/tape/opening letters. The M390 took a hair whittling edge fairly easily, and I maintain it on a strop to keep it at least shaving and three finger sticky. It still flips super smooth and snappy. Mine gets carried more than knives that cost me 2-3 times as much. The 801CF makes a surprisingly great user for being so pretty :)

I've got the "regular" 0801 and the 0801BW, so this is not me, but this guy goes to town with his 0801BRWCF:

That was my problem, it is so pretty I just want to look at it and not use it. I am hard on my knives and did not want to mess it up. I have to get that out of my head and just go to town with it!

Sharpening it helped me a lot. When it no longer had the factory edge, I wasn't concerned about possible investment value. No regrets here :D
 
Hi Whitty -

I don't use mine every day, but I have carried it and used it a good bit.

I don't use the knife for chopping lumber, but for opening boxes, cutting twine and speaker wire it works great.

The finish has held up well, no problems at all, and it still locks up great and looks even better.

Use your knife with confidence, it was made in the USA!

Use mine for carry and light duty. I dropped it on concrete once before I ever cut anything with it. :( but that enabled me to carry it all the time now. The surface scratches easily but the knife is tough as nails! I received mine in partial trade and I really feel it's the best knife I've ever owned. And I've had almost all the zt big dogs 0888max, 0454, tilt, ect...
 
Scott,

I have carried and used mine quite a bit! It looks better with some battle wear! I changed my clip to a custom made one. LOVE THE KNIFE! I love the blade surface texture on this variant! It is one of the best working folders I have ever used!
 
I have the stonewash and the blackwash. Ive carried the sw twice and it is the best working flipper Ive used...even better than many higher $ knives. I haven't carried the bw yet. Its still nib. Gotta sell both though because Ive been hooked on they daddy...the Hinderer XM.
