A new ZT 454 Thread for people who enjoy it

[JarrodS]

Here is the same shot with a whole lot more pixels in case you wanted it.

Thanks for sharing. Could we please get the hi-res of the one above it? That's my fave. KAI should hire you for their product brochures. Seriously.

That is one hell of a good looking knife! The blade is by far the best looking part of it IMO.

My 0454 is the only knife Mrs. Scurvy was able to flip out completely on her first try.

Here you go.

Thanx, that's my new desktop

I noticed the 454 with the low serial number has a stonewashed finish on the Sandvik 14C28N and the cpm d2 is darker in color than a 454 with the higher serial #

Here you go.

How about the one with the reflection.

Edit: NM You already posted that one too. Excellent photos.

This is a beautiful knife.

Received mine today, #207. Looks pretty in photos, but takes on a whole new aesthetic in hand.

The exchange is flooding with these, I guess 75% of buyers were resellers lol

Higher serial also has the more aggressive jimping.

Greg - Awesome pictures man. What camera are you shooting with? I just got my Canon 60D a few months ago, and it's amazing. Although each picture is literally like 8mb each. I've tried to snap a few good ones of my 0454 but I can't get the lighting right. I'll take it out in the sun tomorrow for a couple good ones.

Good catch on the Jimping. I love the aggressive jimping on the new ones. It's probably the best I've ever felt, and it doesn't hurt with a lot of force.

I shoot with my trusty old low res D700, mostly with inexpensive 30+ year old manual focus lenses. Here is one more 0454 shot for the day. It's not the sharpest, but then again it's not terrible considering I shot it free hand in a fairly dark room with an ancient AI 50/1.4:

Excellent work.

 

[J_Curd]

And a nice pour.

The pics in this thread are awesome but yours are just insane! We executed!!!:thumbup:

Here's a couple quick shots with my Socom Delta. They are very similar in size and profile but the SD is a bit heavier. Before the 0454 arrived this was the smoothest action knife I owned.

Is your Socom aluminum or G10, because the Socom is already a pretty light-weight knife. (I know, because I'm playing with my G10, S30v SD right now) 😃🔪

That's the first time I've ever seen low-res and D700 in the same sentence. A full-frame sensor with 12.1 MP is quite powerful, unless it's being compared to something like a medium format camera.
