Mine isn't! So far it's pretty darn good!:D

Chris really knocked it out of the park with the Nyala. I just might have to EDC this baby.:thumbup:

Is it just me or does the pivot look smaller on the new Zaans? My DOB is Jan 2011 and it has the new "Idaho Made" mark on it. I can't be sure but the pivot looks different than I remember my Tanto 2010 was.

Anyhow, it's great way to start the week off!:cool:
 
just traded for a Nyala myself.... it's nice! can't wait to dress out a whitetail!!!
 
I would have to agree with you, particularly with your haul of CR steel. I picked up a Nyala (which Chris pronounces 'N-yala and not 'Ny-ala as I am in the habit of saying) at Blade last year and it has become an EDC for me. I did, however, very lightly stain and waterproof the sheath because I knew it would'nt be long before the raw leather began to soil. I'll also be picking up another 'zaan later today to replace one I used in a trade last year. So, we're both going to be having a pretty strong Monday. If you react as I did, the Nyala is going to become a favorite QUICKLY!
 
Nice haul! Can't say I remember a week starting off hat good for me in a long time.

What steel is the Umnumzaan? S30V or the new S35VN, or whatever its called?
 
Mondays are lame. Especially when your expecting a knife and you go the the mail
box only to realize that theres no mail. Presidents day...... blah
 
yup mondays are good, all my stuff that I waited for the entire previous week usually shows up!
except if i'm waiting for a izzy and a 5P...obviously.

Congrats on your Zaan. I love mine.

Why did you get rid of your Tanto? I like the look, and if I can ever find just the blade I'd love to have the option to switch it up.
 
Thanks guys...yep yep. It was a good day.:thumbup:

Not much of a Tanto guy but yes, the Lum style Tanto is the reason I bought it in the first place, and yes it was a wonderful knife. But, I didn't like having to sharpen the Tanto edge. Which is why I went with the std Zaan.

I dunno? Hmmm, just thought it was naturally S30V. I'll have to check the DOB card when I get home.
 
And yes, the pivot on the 'Zaan did change sizes at some point; I remember them asking me how old mine was when I ordered the takedown kit.
