Hier is 'n gesprek wat ek onlangs gehad het met iemand oor die AK47 en 'n nuwe Zero Tolerance van Kershaw.
what about cold steel and crkt, (referring to the wave feature designed and patented by Ernest Emerson)
The Cold Steel AK 47 and CRKT M16 SF, which are not top end knives, well the AK is,
I have had to use my CS in a situation, and just the (Snag..twang.. blade open) noise followed by 1 step forward and grabbing the guy by the collar made him piss himself literally
I got to keep my wallet, he got to keep his left arm.
sorry for hijacking, how much does the ZT go for?
The thumb opener that doubles as a wave is a refinement of the wave in my opinion, but I cant remember the owner of the patent.....aaaa wait.
Andrew Demko, the designer of the new Tri-Ad lock (improvement on the old back lock).
The double guard of the CRKT was not designed as a 'wave' feature, they do not claim it also, but can be used for that.
On another note, I wont consider the AK as a top end knife. I can understand to some the price seems to justify this, but compared to something from William Henry, Chris Reeve and the knives in the $200 to $400 price bracket, where fit and finish on every knife is kept to 0.0001 of a mm and the steel alloy has better properties then AUS8 (a good steel in its own right) is high end. Just my thoughts.
But then again you wont see much improvement performance wise between a R1750 knife and a R5000 knife when doing cutting taks. The difference in steel can increase the price, fit and finish, materials used for handles.
The best way I can show this is by using this graph.
Between a R300 knife and a R1500 knife there is a big difference between fit and finish, design, performance while cutting, steel etc. But as the price goes up the performance tend to plain out and you start paying for aesthetics, materials such as ivory and engraving etc.
In all fairness this ZT will cut just as well as my Sebenza that costs twice as much, but the Sebenza in its appeal and what it means to me is what makes it worth twice as much. I know we should not put so much value on material things but aaah well. It is my luxury item. I dont see the need to own R6000 cellphone, a R13000 computer, my friends do, I dont. Its difference in taste.
I went way off topic, but hope you enjoyed the read.
On a personal level I do not like CS product for how their owner has behaved in the past and things he has done at events like Blade show in Atlanta. That is just my personal opinion, however, they do make good knives (I still want a specific model), I just normally spend my money on other makers.

Errrrrr, sorry to burst the bubble, but PLEASE look at the FAKES section on Cold Steel's website - these cheap-cheap CS knives on "Bid or get Robbed" are fake chinese copies. I can get 1 at a local chinese variety shop for R120. Yes, it looks JUST like an AK47, but isn't.
Furthermore, CRKT has SOME good models, whereas CS has SOME awesome models. Your CRKT is obviously a genuine article so please compare it to a genuine CS of similar value.... and congrats you didn't get ripped off.
I'm not trying to be funny or otherwise, just making sure every1 is aware of the HUGE influx of fake brandname knives coming in, e.g. CS, CRKT, Kershaw, Puma, even Buck!
The average CRKT and CS models are about the same in performance. Both brands try to achieve more with less, thus making it more affordable for the average guy that's not too worried about it's "ever lasting" qualities.
Enjoy a good knife now!
O yes! This seems to becoming a bigger problem in our market. Cheap knockoffs! Saw a knife that looked just like an AK47 but when I picked it up just placed it down and walked away. Was poor quality but looked legit. One has to be careful even at retailers. See some poor quality knives these days at a lot of gun and bow hunting stores.

Het in Julie vir my seun se verjaarsdag vir hom 'n AK-47 gekoop. Wel sy Ma het dit gaan kry,
en eers die aand by die huis sien ek dis Cold Steel.
In my hart het ek geweet dit is beslis net die naam wat Cold Steel is. (R150.00)
OK dit skeer beenhare maar ek dink as jy iets dukker as dit gaan sny gaan die lem chip!

Ja nee kyk Bow007, jy moet SO versigtig wees deesdae, voorheen kon jy die fake van die genuine onderskei deur prys, maar deesdae, die ouens koop die fakes, en verkoop dit teen genuine produkte se pryse. Die ander probleem is natuurlik, van die fakes is so goed na gemaak, jy kan nie altyd sien dat dit 'n fake is nie. Ek het so bloutjie geloop met 'n Gerber, my hard is nogdteeds seer oor daai een!

Dit is waar en dan kry mense 'n slegte indruk van 'n maatskappy min wetende dat hulle nie eens die maatskappy se produk gekoop het nie.
Dit gebeur met alle maatskappye deesdae. Daar was onlangs iemand wat 'n Chris Reeve mes gekoop het ten duurste, het die logo, mes sakkie, box ALLES gehad en toe hy daar oor kla en uiteindelik instuur na Chris Reeve om na te kyk was dit 'n kompleet FAKE!

The best thing in my opinion is to get a reputable knifemaker locally to build you a knife, if you want a combat, biltong, utility, tactical or general purpose in fixed blade, linerlock or folder you will find a knife maker willing to make you one. He will use the best materials within your price range and you are guarrenteed it is not a fake and it can be your own design.
Not only that but you are supporting your own local economy and not some Chinese rip off or U.S economy. Local bly lekker!!! (behalwe ou Julius natuurlik...hy bly 'n poepal)
Speak the Truth , shoot straight and may the breeze always be in your face!

I really like the big AK-47 for it is reliability and fast opening. Pros: It opens fast when snagged, the glass breaker works but you need to wear gloves, the blade has a nice hollow ground and is durable, it's comfortable yet grippy, it looks good and you can use the glass breaker on the end to hook things. Cons: It is hard to put back in my pocket because the clip is tight, it is not the best at puncturing, the lock takes some practice to unlock, the blade coating wears off easily, and it is hard to flick open, I can’t safely "choke up" on the handle to whittle and it is heavy. Overall, I really like this knife, and am happy with my purchase.

Both looks great. I am more of a folding knife guy. For me it is a more practical all rounder.

That's what I thought, man. But then saw a bigger knife that looked more serious to me, so that's where I started to doubt...
Thanks for replying, man! Cheers...

I can think you have your doubts. The field knife is a real looker but then, the folding knife you can carry with you all the time. I can not remember a day I was without my folding knife. (Even to church it is in my pocket...... )
