Rumor has it that there will be some new additions to the ZT line for 2010.

Any news from SHOT? Picture would be nice?
 
All that I've heard so far is that there'll be 5 new blades from ZT this year.
 
There were new ZT items shown at the SHOTshow. Mostly though, we were taking the critiques of the consumers, and will be changing a few details based on the feedback. So...the final ZT items and specs should be flushed out in the next few weeks.

Here is one folder that will be produced: No spec's other than it will be a frame lock flipper, S30V, G-10 overlays, MSRP I believe will come in at $130 MSRP. No delivery dates at this time.

It's not Ti, but it is mean. A tad faster in profile than what we currently have for offerings. It was well received this week. Should be a nice ZT EDC addition.

Oh yes, forgot to mention, it is USA made.
 
Very nice, sleek. Tip up/down and left and right clip placement. :thumbup: Is that a glass-breaker at the lanyard hole?
 
S30V framelocks for $130. I would like to see more of this from ZT, even if the price was higher. I love my 301. Sweet knife there

Thanks PG, it's not a true glass breaker, but adding a carbide tip was discussed in Vegas. Maybe a variation?

I will try to be as nice as possible, from this proto pic it's very very easy to see Ken Onion had zero to do with the design :o

That's a nice looking knife, Thomas and ZT!:thumbup: In fact, I'd say it looks almost like a "gent's folder," if such a thing is possible in the ZT lineup. I'll definitely be adding one!
 
I hope the ZT 030x series was discussed with adding a less recurved blade shape. Love the beefiness but a straighter profile would be great.

Keep up the good work, Kershaw.

:thumbup:

and the handle has a Strider vibe to it...

I can also see a little SnG in the handle, wider at the butt, front finger groove, framelock and G-10 combo. I'd like to see the sharp angles smoothed out, as it is now it looks like they might create a hotspot or two. But, it's very hard to tell if it's not in your hand :cool:


I'm sure the guys at Kershaw have it "right," and this one will be another homerun. :)
