Today it was the Delica 4 again. It was a good thing too, I had to defend myself against a bully that's been picking on me for a couple of years now........a 1" diameter may haw limb! So I thought, let's see what this VG-10 steel is all about.

I scored all around it, it cut pretty deep too. I broke it off an the whittled the nub down smooth. It barely took the fine edge off, it was still shaving sharp. I was impressed.

ZT knives are sweet no doubt. But I usually carry the poor cousin....

Auto knives are kinda like ZT Knives or some customs in that they are quite outside my pay grade!

Was gifted a Kershaw Speedsafe 1830. I have been carrying it. Chinese steel, sharp, light and quick and certainly not safe. I love the thing. I hope it don't bite me.

My current EDC is a Spyderco Dragonfly. In the rotation with a Spyderco Persistence, Pingo, and a SOG trident. I bought myself a ZT 0560 Blackwash for Christmas :D but have'nt decided if I will carry it or not...... ::undecided::

Youse guys is just plain wierd. :lol: :lol: I love it. Must be the mid-winter blahs taking over. ::shrug::


Edit: Monkey Man, ya just struck me with an idea. We may have the start of something here. Does anyone want to swap EDCs with me. Do ya have a nothing knife you want to swap for my nothin' knife? Mine is a shell Imperial. Good mechanical condition, just the handles wraps are gone.

garddog: I think your question is about Elishewitz designing in collaboration with production companies. I do not know the answer to that although I suspect he is not currently doing so. (Only because I haven't come across any company promoting such a collaboration recently. But I may have overlooked that.) He continues to be highly active in the realm of designing and creating custom knives and other objects (watches/pens etc.)
