What's a nice, heavy flipper (Like the ZT's) only in high carbon look like?

154Cm is still good stuff and really easy to sharpen IME (I have a couple of Protechs).

I'm still quite fond of cpm154/154cm. I think it's the best balance of affordability, performance and ease of maintenance.

If autos are legal wherever you happen to be I'd take a look at Protech. They do a great job with it and their knives are some of the best on the market.

Whoa!!!........NOW yer talkin'!

Yep, autos are legal here, as long as you have your CCW permit, and I do, sooooo.......

Hey........you sell knives, eh?

A few custom knives have high carbon steel and some even with a nice hamon. But I don't know of any zt Tactical style mass production flippers with high carbon steel.

I'm partial to the TR-3 and the CQC-7 from Protech. Both available in 154cm and both good for a lifetime of hard use.

Tank Knives uses O1 in their folders. I’m sure they can also use 1095 or some tough spring steel.

I mean, if a guy wanted something similar to the fine ZT line of heavy folders, only in some of the old school steels, what would that be?

ZT-like heavy flipper in 154CM?
What is more ZT-like than ZT?
ZT0200 (discontinued, unfortunately)
I made the mistake of selling my spare; but the black bladed version pops up on the exchange periodically.
