New ZT/Hinderer Flipper is Coming!!!0560/0561

[Tony8179]

I don't think a spanto is going to happen. You're probably going to see a high hollow similar to the 0551.

[BP Green]

4" = XM 24 Flava! or Flavor if you didnt get it.... Street talk. LOL!!!!

That's what I'm hoping for! The knife looks very sweet but I already have plenty of 3.5" blades. A 4" folder would fit right into my stable very nicely indeed.

Is the 055x high hollow or high saber?

[Burdan]

Its ground flat. saber.

[Tony8179]

Either way. It doesn't look like a spanto grind, but then again it just looks like an early CAD drawing. I guess we'll find out when the knife comes out.

[Burdan]

Either way. It doesn't look like a spanto grind.

agreed.

Counting down the days on my calender till Blade...

Haha at all the people not wanting the 3" inch blade, but I agree with them.

There are plenty of options for a 3" blade. Not so many for 3.5-4.0" blades. Regardless, I'll probably get one even if it was 3", but 3.5" would be great and 4" would be AWESOME.

[Moses_3]

Woah! No love for the 3" blades. What's wrong with wanting a nice knife that you can travel with? And, there is nothing that you can do with 4" that a 3" blade won't do just as well.
And seriously a SAK... that hurts .
I just have a lot of 3.5-4" blades already and I am tired of having to leave favorites at home when I travel.
Either I am excited for this collaboration.

I don't know much about how the awards get handed out, but this thing looks like it could take "Blade of the Year" or "Collaboration of the Year". Bring it!!

[brendog10]

The sketch looks amazing. I'll be saving up for one of these for sure!!

[RevDevil]

Its ground flat. saber.

For us total newbs, what exactly is that?

[atony]

I like everything but the clip, just put one on like the 0550-0551, theese knives ride low enough in the pocket already and the other clip is cooler anyway...... Just my opinion though.





Oh and Rick if, when you start making those scales i'll take a tan, grey, marsh green, and Ti......

Don't forget OD. . .

[Soulrack223]

It looks great. I like the fact that it looks more like the xm-18 than the 0550/0551 do.

[cziv]

Don't forget OD. . .

Or Pond Scum either

[BP Green]

Or Pond Scum either

Any earthy tone especially in a shade of green gets my tail wagging.

This knife rocks! I didn't think it would be possible to top the 0551 but man, some how he did! And I don't even particularly like flippers.

Congratulations Rick, you've done it again my friend. . . .
