The pattern on the G10 did change from the 0551 to the 0550...both patterns are nice but different.

I know that. I was asking about the 0560.

[Mika]

So I saw on a video somewhere on youtube that the G10 pattern has been changed in the later models? Is that true or did someone get the 0551 and 0550 mixed up?

I know that. I was asking about the 0560.

The only nonstandard patterns seen here in BladeForums' Kershaw/ZT forum have been custom jobs. So it's a fairly safe bet saying that the G10 pattern hasn't been changed.

contacted knifeworks were i pre ordered my 0561 and they said june july.... such a long wait!!!!

[17pes]

I didn't get in on the preorder until pretty late, like the end of December. Just got my 0561 last Friday, and my name came up for the 0560 the week before.

To date the the backorders are still quite large on the 056X's. We cut parts daily, but it's still an uphill battle. Just a little update.

[Alchemy1]

Wow, I guess I am glad I didn't wait to get my 0561. Now, I'm holding out for the all black version. Thomas, will the Ti be DLC like the DLC tilt?

Thomas, will the Ti be DLC like the DLC tilt?

No details have been determined at this time.

Yes, the pattern on the 0560 has changed very subtlety. I am going to the knife shop on Monday, I will take a couple comparison shots.

The pattern on the new ones look almost exactly like the pattern which is on the Ti side. It almost looks like maybe they knocked some of the peaks off of the original pattern, leaving behind a different look. It could be a whole new pattern, or it could be machined down original pattern. I'll let y'all decide when I get the comparison vid.

This is awesome to hear. That a knife of this size and price is so popular tells me the industry has got to be doing pretty well.

I think it will end up being on par with the Paramilitary 2 in popularity, which is awesome. It's a feat in itself due to the fact that it sells for 150 dollars more than the Para 2.

I have an 'older' production run 0560 with a EDM cut lockbar, more lightly blasted ti (more silver in color), strong detent, and more narrow pattern g10.

I also had a newer production run 0560 and I imagine the newer changes were made due to the complaints I.E. the weaker detent, less agressive g10 pattern (like CTS said, it closely matches the Ti side), and more heavily blasted scales.

That said, I prefer the 'older' run that I currently own.

[blazerman]

Headed to the knife store tomorow to check this bad boy out.

Wish I could go. Have fun and good luck with the booth.

Thanks, brother! I'll take lots of pics!

Who's all going to Blade??? Lets get a head count.

As I've mentioned prior, there have been no production changes with regards to the heavy detent. You'll just have variances from knife to knife.
