Rick, I also have an all stainless Byrd Robin 1 that I bought before I got the Dragonfly. I do like it, however mine seems to have an issue in the pivot that makes it bind slightly toward the end of the blade opening. As far as I know there's no way to adjust it. I suspect it will eventually wear-in and be fine (it is actually better now than when I first got it), but I just haven't been carrying it since I got the Dragonfly.

This is my first ZT and the last 0450cf that my local knife shop had in stock. Now that the border clowns are making up laws contrary to our legislated laws and calling any one hand opening knife a prohibited weapon thereby confiscating them at the border, the guy at the counter said that ZT may be a very scarce commodity in the near future. Be that as it may, this little honey sure is sweet and a flipper to boot (stick that where the sun don't shine border clowns). :roll:

I’m boring. Spyderco Military in plain black G-10 every day. Nothing else has ever measured up to it for me.

That said, this one is my Sunday go to meeting knife. CASE kickstart in rough black. These really are fine knives. Slick, fast, and sharp.

Paired with a Kimber Untracarry it looks right classy with a Sunday suit.
