Those ZT's are sooooo darn expensive though, well this side they are like about a persons half Monthly salary.... i.e about R3500-5000 rand.. (if you think a decent ok salary is 10k a month... over hear, which is less than 1000 usd. 5000 ZAR is equal to about 360 USD.)

but I highly doubt those cost over 300 usd there.
I get so sad cause anything that is nice that comes from USA, here is going to cost twice as much as it would there, cause of importing it and a mark up.
So yeah to give a perspective, I earn a really decent salary here, that knife if you could find it here would be a bout 1/4 of my monthly salary to purchase it..
Help an african out man, I can barely afford decent gear.
Like a chris reeves, knife here... I kid you not for the Sebenza, last I priced it was R7500...
A spider co paramilatry II in sv30 well thats about 4.5k-6k
A run of the mill Beker bk2 is 2.5k ( i have 1 )
I mostly run around with keep a Chinese clone, out of 8cr13mov of a f1 fallkniven.. or take my bk2
it is very costly, in fact here it is often cheaper to buy a local custom knife from a maker than buying a production knife.
But yeah in the end of the day, you dont actually need very expensive equipment, you just need to know what to look for, and an OKISH steal like a stainless 440c or 8rc13mov, or a more expensive sandvick steel (but still affordable) its how they heat treated that makes the world of difference...
But yeah I can only dream of a nice folder... my most expensive folder is likely a CRKT m21... and I hardly edc it.. I tend to edc cheaper knifes like a schrade folder.. cause darn I hate to snap a folders blade ( I did that to a cheap kershaw and it was heart breaking)
