JD is a fantastic guy, I have 3 of his knives right now, sold one that was incredible but too small. SA makers as a collective have nailed liner locks. ACK gets high marks from me, great to deal with.

I know this is off topic. And im sorry for this. But I had to ask. I just bought a ZT 0562CF for $178 from a reputable local gun store who is essentially clearing out all his ZT knives. He's only gonna carry Bench Made & some lower priced Kershaw. So he had $300 on it with 20% off & went even lower to $178 if I agreed to take it that day. I bought it. Was this a good buy & should I be worried about the side with the carbon fiber?? Thanks. I just don't trust my buys until I run them by you two. Thanks. Sorry this is off video topic.

Who in there right mind pay such big money on a pocket knife when one can buy a single bladed knife for under 20 euros and can still abuse it with out worrying about the handle been scratched up and don't mind if you tap it with a hammer to split twighs or cable plastics what ever.

cyphersuit1 - South Africa is going through much turmoil due to the political corruption and blatant and overt racism against SA whites by the government. Oddly, you wont see anything about it on the evening news. The libtard media conceals the true nature of the government and although the "president" has proclaimed in televised interview that "[He] is not calling for the killing of whites, YET. But i do not know what tomorrow will bring." and routinely whips the crowds into bloodthirsty frenzy and states "the whites feel a terrible pain when you kill him" and has incited HUNDREDS of killings of white farmers, continue to portray this as isolated events and not politically driven! Its disgusting what is happening there. And i know this isnt the place to discuss it, hopefully this will cause some to look into the matter and create much needed awareness. Please, look into it yourself. SA is lost, thats no doubt. The only question is will the world stand by and allow the murder of thousands because their skin color.

What bothers me is that these knives are too good for using. Are they just like fabergè eggs. Usually it's an indication of a failed state. Too much time on their hands producing art while Rome is burning. But I have still got to admire the talent and imagination. At least these beautiful things will be around long after we have left this mortal coil
