Hinderer XM18 vs Benchmade Axis 300SN Flipper

Quite a difference between the Hinderer XM18 and the Benchmade Axis 300SN Flipper. Sure, the quality of the Hinderer is outstanding for a production knife. However the Benchmade offers axis lock instead of a frame lock and a more reasonable price tag.

Hinderer XM18 vs Strider SNG

Both high class production folder, the Hinderer XM18 and the Strider SNG offer both quality as well as exclusivity.

Spyderco ParaMilitary2 Camo C81GPCMO2 Folding Knife

My all-time favorite folding knife: Spyderco Paramilitary II. Outregeous Quality at a reasonable price. Size and cutting abilities make it an outstanding edc knife.

The Spyderco Para-Military2 Digital Camouflage Black Blade G-10 has several changes over the classic version. The G-10 handle is narrowed at the end improving the ergonomics. It features a Compression Lock and an ambidextrous-friendly four way clip which carries tip-up/tip-down, left/right-hand and rests deeper in a pocket. We kept the same high-performance CPM-S30V full flat-ground blade but made its profiled thinner; removing angles that could catch on a pocket or clothing during deployment. We also lengthened the blade's tip and added additional surface jimping to both the spine and finger choil. Implementation of a new Bushing Pivot System generates fluid action and more consistent manufacturing tolerances. Refinements to overall construction may not be drastic or even visible to the eye but from the G-10 textured handle to the CPM-S30V steel full flat blade, everything is sharper, smoother and guaranteed to provide performance and user comfort. Made in Golden, Colorado U.S.A.

• Length overall: 8 9/32 in. (210 mm).
• Blade length: 3 7/16 in. (87 mm).
• Blade steel: CPM S30V.
• Length closed: 4 13/16 in. (122 mm).

ZT Zero Tolerance 0560

The Zero Tolerance Rick Hinderer Collaboration Folder rocks! At a third of the price of the original folder, it offers great value for the price.

• Steel: ELMAX®, stonewashed finish
• Handle: 3-D machined G-10 front scale, 3-D machined titanium back handle, stonewashed finish
• Blade Length: 3.75 in. (9.5 cm)
• Closed Length: 5 in. (12.7 cm)
• Overall Length: 8.8 in. (22.4 cm)

Manufacturer:

Based on Rick's crave-worthy XM-18, the new ZT 0560 is one completely amazing knife. First, the blade. It's pure ELMAX® powdered steel for the extreme edge retention, high strength, and toughness a hard-use knife demands. It rolls out of the handle on the KVT ball-bearing system so deployment is rapid and it's ready when you need it. The handle is 3-D machined G-10 on the front, and equally 3-D machined titanium on the back. A framelock with lockbar stabilizer ensures a rocksolid lockup every time. To ensure this big bear of a knife carries at a comfortable weight, ZT has skeletonized the liner and machined pockets in the titanium handle and framelock. And to top it all off, the 0560 is equipped with ZT's new deep-carry pocketclip. With black G10 front scale.

Spyderco Manbug unboxing + test

The ManBug is a uniquely practical folder designed by Spyderco's founder, Sal Glesser. As the founder of the company, Glesser has through the years, carried virtually every knife Spyderco produced, as well as many prototypes and special models that never went into production. Despite the wide array of knives available to him, the one he carries most often is the Spyderco LadyBug, a small, go-anywhere clipless folder that rides in the pocket. Anyone who has ever used a LadyBug knows that it cuts with an authority far beyond its size. However, as part of Spyderco's quest for C.Q.I. (Constant Quality Improvement), Glesser decided to make it even better. And, for anyone whose male ego made it difficult for them to carry a "LadyBug," he also made life easier. The result is the ManBug, an amazingly handy cutting tool that is more at home in larger hands while still fitting inconspicuously in a pocket or even on a keychain.
