I have a brand new z wear SnG and this thing is flawless. It is silky smooth, sharp as hell, has amazing f and f, and is rock solid. I love this knife. It also caused me to rediscover my love of the Gayle Bradley. I have handled Sebbies, Striders, and customs and the GB is smoother than anything I have touched. The blade is dead center and there is absolutely no play. I feel more confident in the GB than I do any other knife I own. If you want midtech-custom level crafting for a production price, this puppy offers that.
