I tried one of those ZT 0542's (if I've ID'd it correctly) and it had an INSANELY strong detent retention, didn't smooth out over time either. I have to believe that was a fluke since I doubt they would have sold more than 5 if they all had detents as strong as mine was. How do you like yours?
What's the knife paired with the G43?
Take some more pictures sez this hypocrite!My gosh you guys are relentless.
Saving the best for last eh? Very nice.My gosh you guys are relentless.
I'm really having trouble finding any more.
This may be the last of them though.

That is a Rick Hinderer (RHK) XM-18 3" Wharncliffe. He makes a 3", 3.5" and even a 4" version of the XM-18.What's the knife paired with the G43?
I liiike it!
If you ever have interest in selling the Benchmade butterfly, give me a call. Ive got a passion for flipping them, lots of cuts on the fingers in the beginningEverything in the fist picture was handed down to me from my grand dad.
It actually is a ZT, specially made for SIG with the Legion chevron on the other side of the blade. It's quite a cool little knife, and not at all intimidating when I take it out at a restaurant to cut my ribeye.ETA: Nope, looks like it's a SIG copy. My mistake, looks identical to the ZT
There were knives in his pics? I was drooling over the Smith snubs...WooD
Nice pics! I especially like your knife and gun pairing!
Not familiar with the knife, but the LB is a true classic.This was one of my favorite combos, at least as far as knife / gun pairings go: Les Baer UTC 1911 and a fixed-blade from Shellback Knives.
If I saw you cutting your steak with a ZT in a restaurant I would do something gentlemanly like send over a round of drinks, I do the same thing. I use whatever knife I'm carrying that day to cut anything, especially meat, no matter where I am. I have drawn a few looks thoughIt actually is a ZT, specially made for SIG with the Legion chevron on the other side of the blade.

Ohhh, me likin' the fishing rig!

I also have one of those early model Spyderco Police, it was the first spyderco I ever bought back in like 2009, first quality knife I really owned.
Ahh, but cutting yourself while practicing is how you learn a clean technique. Or so they say. It would surprise me a great deal if many here know just exactly how skilled you can become at flipping a butterfly knife (balisong). There are just an uncertain amount of tricks and motions you can learn or make up. I'm no pro by any means but I can hold my own. Gets real tricky when you add one to your weak hand. Needless to say, lots of cuts on fingers. I had a Benchmade T-Latch 43 I loved. I've heard of people using trainers and taping the blade to avoid cuts, I like to think my technique is cleaner because I never taped up..... Spent like 4 years straight with a butterfly knife in my hand learning, making everybody around me crazy, "you're gonna cut your fingers off" to "wow", thinking it was some kind of sorcery or magic. Just an obsession really......I bought my first Benchmade butteryfly around 1990. I got so tired of getting cut, I bought a cheap butterfly at a gun show and ground the edge off the blade to learn on. I have a few Spyderco's. My favorite has always been the Native. I have a stainless handle, and black handle version. Got a lot of Case XX. My dad was always buying me one. The one in the pic of the 66 he gave me when I was 12 years old. I'm a LOT older now!
Do a give a way ever once in a while! Lol. I donāt have that many but I know it can be a lot more overwhelming because knives are so small. You can have a hundred+ in a shoebox.I like guns and knives too, but I now have more knives than I know what to do with. My wife's cousin was a knife fanatic and I inherited his collection when he passed. I have everything from cheap NRA giveaways to CRKTs, Spidercos, Bucks, Benchmades, ZTs and even the Buck 110 he carried in nam. Somehow I need to thin the herd down to just the ones I want to keep but the job is overwhelming. Poor me (lol)!
