A week ago I visited the city of Mora and couldn't resist buying some Mora knives. Together they cost only 11 euros.

Moki fixed blade, with talon drop point blade in VG-10 and micarta scales, Case Slimlock,
Keith Murr Little Companion, Robert Ball BG-42 Caper, Queen D-2 Drop point hunter.
 
The last knife I purchased is an Spydie Endura 4 with the ZDP steel. It is very true that it's difficult to put a edge on it.

Usually when a knife comes from the factory, there's a little more refinement that can be done to make it sharper. Using a DMT Fine/Extra fine sharpener, I've tried in vain to get the edge razor sharp. (It was hair-popping sharp from the factory).

I use the paper-cut test. Using sheets of copier paper recycled from work, my test of sharpness is to get it to the point where the blade will shred with virtually no resistance or "catching" on the edge of the paper. When this becomes effortless, you know the edge is pretty dang sharp.

This usually takes me 5 minutes with softer steels like 8Cr13Mov or even 154CM. This ZDP-189 has been murder to make a dent in, even with diamond grit.

The only issue I have with the Endura is the handle being a bit narrow for most hands. The thinness of the handle though makes it a good EDC, even though the blade is 3.75", usually I like an EDC to be closer to 3".

Also, I find the lockbacks to be a little stiffer than liner locks on deployment. But the Endura is the least expense knife with ZDP-189 that I know of.
 
My PT came in the other day... I've had 2 full days with it in my pocket. I'm liking it. Here's a pic... the beer, well... it's in my belly now.

Kershaw Tyrade Tan G-10 :thumbup: Nice if you like huge big and heavy knives. Length is about the same as the Spyderco Endura but twice as thick and twice as wide.:D I would guess about 3 times the weight. I love it but.....it is really way too big to ever see much EDC time. Now if they only made a 7/8 scale one.;)
 
Just ordered a Douk-Douk while waiting on a couple trades to go through. Although, after seeing JTR357's slimline trapper, it's been sitting in the back of my mind for some time now. Might have to pick one of those up soon. Argh.
 
I picked up a ZT0302 at the NEX while I'm out in Hawaii on orders. Only $199.99 out the door!

Shhhhh ... don't let my wife know.
 
Cabela's Buck 110 AG to replace my old regular 110 I gave away to my neighbor. Had a $50 gift card for Cabela's, so it only came out to $31 shipped :D :D :D
 
A couple weeks ago it was a Kershaw tan G-10 Tyrade. Arriving later today is a ZT0200KW, Spyderco Persistence, and a Leatherman Serac2 flashlight. Looking forward to the Spyderco as it is the first one in a few years.
