What Knife Do You Have Coming?

Got an SNG on the way, should be here Thursday. This is one of the sellers pics.

It's my first strider, and I wanted to see for myself whether they were actually worth it.

I like mine a lot. Great ergos, and a very useful blade shape. Love the pronounced choil. Although it's not quite as dialed as a CRK, I never feel under-knifed like I used to with my small Seb. (Haven't owned a large Seb).
 
I have a ZT 0450 (and a baliyo :D) in transit. My first ZT. Been eyeing ZTs before, but always thought they were too big.

Yeah I think I've seen your hands in a pic before, and it's no wonder you felt under knifed with the small seb:D

I'm just hoping the SNG isn't TOO big. I hate having lots of extra handle hanging out of the back of my hand.

I've seen some comparison pics and they all seem to suggest that it's similar in size to a para 2, so that's not too bad.
 
Decided to try some new multitools, so I have a like new SOG Paratool and a like new Leatherman Rebar that I got off Ebay.
 
The Cold Steel Ultimate Hunter is on it's way. This will be my second CS knife. Got the new Am. Lawman recently and I m very impressed. Great edc size and appears to be very strong. The new blade steels are going to make CS knives very interesting.
 
Finally, the venerable ZT 0561 Gen II, with the steel lockbar insert. It's my second try, the first one I pre-ordered (low serial number) didn't do it for me, but I'm hoping they've worked out some issues by now.

My latest acquisition of a G10 ZT-0562 has got me all worked up over KVT w/steel lockbar insert, and I wanted another one. The Ti lockbar against the steel blade kept me from going with the 0650/0561 until the other day when I found an updated one with the new steel insert that also doubles as a redundant lockbar stabilizer/over-travel-stop (and apparently it won't be milled out inside, weighing a bit more than the originals).
 
The SNG just got here today, and I'm pleasantly surprised. It's not as big as I expected, and there aren't any issues with the fit and finish or the lockup. This is one of the newer ones though, so I probably should have expected it.


Liking it so far. The ergos are pretty nice when I'm using the choil, but I always get a massive hotspot from the hard angle of the handle when I back up to a normal saber grip. Meh, minor complaint. This thing is a tank. I can't wait to beat on it a little.
 
Went to the spyderco factory outlet today looking for a para military 2...they said they will email me when they get one, he said it could be 2 weeks to 2 months. This is not working well with my have to have it now personality
 
Sweet! Just got my ZT 0450 and Baliyo delivered to the office :D. The ZT feels so tiny coming out of that big ZT box, but I think it'll be perfect for me.
