Viper Knives teased us with some more pictures of the Storm.

Looks like it might be based off the MP-1. I'm hoping it comes in M390.

Just saw some pictures, looks good. It is actually based off the Half-Track (my bad). I'm optimistic for the price as Viper Knives has an Italo that is Carbon Fiber and M390 below USD 200.

XM-Slippy might be in 20CV and they aim to keep the price below 300.

WE Knives prototypes are looking bloody good. Those CF inlays look really well done.

Don't think the local distros carry anything higher than the standard spyderco/benchmade/zt/cold steel. Your best bet is an overseas dealer or the usual forums.

Just recently shipped a Bark River Grizzly from DLT, shipped via Fedex.
Knife arrived in 1 week. No need to report to customs.

Hi Wuuhaa,
Thank you very much. I assume it's around 13" the overall length?

Received a package from Echizen Japan yesterday. My pics didn't do it justice though.

That looks quite nice... And long... I presume it's a 240mm gyuto? What's the steel and the damage?

Its a 210mm gyuto. R2 steel by Yu Kurosaki. Damage $269 USD + $9 shipping. Ootb edge is good enough to do the tomato trick.

Hello guys!! Asking for honest opinions here.. If you were to pick between a Zt0456 and a Brous VR-71, which one would you choose and why? Thanks!

Zt for sure. The fit and finish on brous blades is extremely shabby. I've held a few and have never been impressed by them. Off-centered blades, uneven liners poor action, poor tolerances and most of all, expensive for what they bring to the table. Zt for me, any day, any time.

Of course, these are just my thoughts.

From all the reviews I've seen, the fit and finish on the Brous doesn't seem that bad. In fact, people are complimenting on them. But I must agree that they are overpriced. What put me off from getting the vr-71 is the damn screws. They have the same damn screws as my $50 Kershaw. Ruined the overall look IMO.
Anymore replies would be appreciated! Thanks!

Anyway, the China made knives like reate seem to be putting out really great stuff... Premium steels, good f&f, reasonable prices... That's another avenue you can explore

I'll put my vote for a ZT. They have better warranty and F&F. I personally think they have better designs and materials used too.

Like mamba said, F&F on a Brous is sketchy. I don't know where you're getting your info from, but the general consensus is they're not so good.

Since we're on the topic of fit and finish in knives, what do you guys look for in your knives, be it to keep in the collection, or as users?
