Sorry, no. I wish I could help you out. Any thoughts on what you'd use it for?

even though it's quite large i would like it to be my EDC. i would also use it for camping so, cutting sticks, ropes, making chips to get a fire started, those sorts of things. Me and my grandfather sometimes will take down trees in city limits and to haul everything away we strip all the leaves and small twigs off of the branches. He will use his home made machete and all i have up for the task is a medium sized hatchet, which can be quite awkward nonetheless.

I can't imagine the 0200 not handling what you described. I don't recommend heavy batoning with it, but everything else seems very doable.

I personally use the Woodsman's Pal when I go camping for heavy wood processing and other chores I wouldn't use my knife for. Its basically a machete and hatchet combined into a comfortable, manageable design.

I don't fall for that whole "made in America" talk. There are plenty of imported knives that kick major ass, spyderco sage series, delica and endura line, kershaw cryo...all amazing, affordable knives that won't "fail" either if used correctly. And after looking at the catalog of TOPS folders, I'm not impressed, especially not at their price point.

Cold Steel is a great company, personally many of their folders are not aesthetically pleasing to me which is why I don't own any cold steels.

Kershaw Blur

That is my favorite knife. That is my Everyday Carry, along with my utility knife. Thing has cut more cardboard then I can really think about and it still holds the edge.

Currently the blur, specifically the carbon fiber blur is stickys favorite blade. From what I've seen, its a mean little knife, certainly capable of performing any reasonable task you throw at it.
I recently got a Spyderco tenacious for work and this thing is amazing. For a sub $40 knife this thing is hard to beat.

Get the smith and Wesson black ops drop point knife or Kershaw knives are great too

[dsk]

I just recently bought a Kershaw RJ 1, great knife you can feel the durability. Liner lock, Tanto style but not full tanto nice machined G-10 grips, overall great knife i bought 2 on sale at cabelas for 20 a piece, non-sale i think about 40

[lovebunny]

get a strømmeng 9 tommer.. with black steal. its the knife i use. and works great. and i also use a switch blade for butchering out in the wild

Yojimbo 2 on its way to me! Next up is the Chokwe and then the cf, s110v Native 5.

I love my tenacious, it's the first EDC knife I've ever owned. I kinda wish I would have sprung the extra $$$ for a delica though. Guess I'll have to get one of those while I'm at it.

Just ordered a CRKT ripple for my next high value EDC.

My Kershaw Cryo cuts better than my mini griptillian and both had factory edges.


My vote goes to the Cryo or the Cryo 2.

Cryo is too small for my tastes. Hopefully the cryo 2 is substantially larger than its predecessor.

My soon to arrive Yojimbo 2 is gonna be sweet.

My turn








very nice stone wash on the silent soldier along with extremely easy access with the kydex sheath and belt clip, ZT 0200 is a work horse, and the skyline is just perfect for the small things
