You can't do THAT with a ZT...

Rational debate eh?

I'm always up for a good visual debate using videos and such but with quiet, videos and visual evidences are to him fairy tales so we can get no where with having a healthy knife debate.

~~~

And Stabman,
That is precisely why I chose to mention 0900. I do wonder if with it's wider blade, will it still be able to cut down a larger tree in a beaver-like fashion?
 
I am going to go out and cut down a tree with my GEC #23 slipjoint, if that's what we're doing now.

Statistics: look into it. :thumbup:

No problem. :)
Most of us are here for the enjoyment of knives, so sharing the experience is part of the fun.

Exactly.

If we all liked the same knife and only had that knife, the EDC Thread would be rough. Well, bladeforums in general! ;)



Now, as far as pooping on brands. Some people do it because of a bad experience and others because they want to be a part of the cool kids club. Growing up we did some "Coon hunting" and my old man hated a Tennessee Walker. He had a bad experience with a few of them over the years and would always call them trash dogs. Others seem to love them. My point? There's room for us all here; Zt lovers, Gerber lovers, etc. I admit to being a bit "snobbish" when it comes to a knife that you can get at Wal-Mart and I should be more respectful to people who choose to carry those just as we should be respectful to the people that choose to spend $500 plus on a pocket knife. I've carried a Gerber and a Chris Reeve and both got the job done when I needed them to. They are not equals but knowing your knife's limit and not asking more of it gives you a tool that should serve you well if it's decent quality.

Anyway, sorry for rambling.

Although I don't have that knife, I do have a Benchmade 755, which also has a short and wide blade.
Next time, I think I'll bring it along. :thumbup:
 
Hey stabby, you know what would be a great continuation of the spirit of this thread?

If I made a thread doing the same thing with my small sebenza:D

Now THAT would be a fun one, for sure. I'll keep it in mind when I go camping next.

Do you have any opinion as to whether, say, the Gerber Paraframe is a good quality knife? If so, how did you come to that opinion? Was it based on statistical analysis?

Brancron beat me to the punch.

Quiet, if you're going to continue using conceptualizations such as statistical analysis, you should be able to back it up equally for any knives you are defending.
Speaking of which, where are the statistical analysis chart for 100% all ZT knives that didn't fail vs those that failed across the globe. We will wait here while you start working on backing up your choices of words. :)

I'd read that thread.

Whether it's cutting down trees, seeing how much cardboard can be cut before losing the edge, or pictures of using a knife to cut the cake for your kid's birthday at Chuck E. Cheese's, I just like seeing knives in use. :thumbup:

I would be happy to use my Kershaw Groove and see how it performs but I like it staying pretty and its pretty much my only safe queen that I don't want to abuse for now. :p

BUT when I get a Zt 0900 and/or 0801, I'll give it a shot myself and see what I can record.

I have four Gerber Paraframes. I would say that arguably, the Gerber Paraframe is just fine for what it is: a cheap Chinese made knife. I've used 'em to clean fish, make fuzz sticks, and cut regular things like paper, paracord, and food. Let's be candid, the lockup is a horrid 100%, the finish and ergos are terrible, but I've never had one of the three I've used crap out on me (I don't think I ever unwrapped the fourth one, it was a gift and is sitting in a box somewhere). I DID completely screw up the edge on one of them using it to open a can of tuna on a camping trip. Oops! Two of the four were purchased back when that design first came out, and I thought they were great. Nowadays, I don't use them. Would I call it "good quality"? No. It's an inexpensive, Chinese made knife. In my personal estimation, Kershaw's Chinese offerings are better. This is my personal anecdote only, and (unlike some folks in THIS thread), you wouldn't ever see me go into a post that say, some new member made where they are talking about their new Gerber Paraframe, and then bag on him for it, or insult the knife, and when the guy had the audacity to defend his knife, then insult him by saying that the only reason he's defending is that he's clearly a delusional fanboy. There's a point there.

I'm sorry, I already asked for that information from asdf12345. As soon as he delivers, I'll be sure to forward the material on to you.

You complained that we're full of anecdotes, etc but then you turn around and gave us your own subjective thoughts rather than backing up with statistical evidences that you said is required. Not only that, but you didn't even provide any statistical evidences for any of your defensive stances regarding ZT knives.

You realize how that makes you look to the rest of us? You're a hypocrite through and through.
 
C'mon folks, let's discuss knives.
Or at least post pictures of adorable toads...LOLcats are acceptable as well.

But not each other; that way lies the death of the thread, and ever growing ignore lists all around.

But what if they're just some low post count low participation n00bie? :)

Another low post count, low participation member attempting to use terminology towards me that suggests that they have followed my activities on this Board closely for a long time.
