I saw many pics on the internet depicting this knife with a brown/desert tan coloration. Is it just the effect of poor quality images or this knife exists in two different coloration?
@giupio88 I'm next to positive the brown coating was the original knife, although it wore easily. Because of that it was replaced with the oxidized version. I have studied some knife fighting and found this one after looking for a relatively short double-edge. As others have said, worth every penny.
@imnakey I own two ZT knives and I love them. Well made, well designed and the prices are fine. Unfortunately, due to the many (stupid) laws about double-edge knives I can't find an international seller willling to ship it to Italy. Knife-Friends on YouTube, if you have any idea, please, write me! :)
If you think this knife is overpriced, you should do some research. While you can find it for $120 on line, it's worth every penny @ $160 MSRP...you can argue that one steel is better than another based on it's use, but you can't argue that a powder steel knife made by one of the finest manufacturers around is only worth $30-$40. That's a bit naive. And no, it does NOT cost $150 to make it...it's called capitalism!
It caught my eye but more than $35-$40 for a small knife blade with a generic plastic handle is too much. Uhhh.. Even $35-$40 is asking a lot for it. Especially since it's just reserved for a last resort. Plenty of other things that can be used to stab someone with for about $10. I suppose it all depends on how much it's worth to you though. I like it, but I know it didn't cost anywhere near $150 nor $120 to make.
@PopcornCoolie S30V, G10, and made in the USA. You can get that for $35 huh? Where? I think a raw slab of S30V would cost more than $35 before you even began the production process.
