Woah - that thing kinda looks like the "Skyline From Hell" 
Very nice to see a ZT without recurve!

That's exactly what I was thinking! That's why it struck me as sort of a 'Gent's Tactical' piece. I'm thinking it must be the fact that the flippers (Skyline and new ZT model) look almost identical in shape.Woah - that thing kinda looks like the "Skyline From Hell"

I agree 100% and honestly believe that this would be THE holy grail knife for me. I love everything about the ZT 300 series except its just too damn big to be practical for me. On the other hand the ZT 350 is the perfect size to me and many people however the construction does not appeal to me as much as the 300. Please Thomas please bring the thought of making a 300 with a 10% size reduction to the table. I think it would be a model that would appeal to a very wide range of people because many think that the 300 is just too big. You could even charge like 20 dollars less than the 300. Please Thomas I beg you!!!
Oh and good job on your new knife, I agree that it looks like a striderized Skyline. Very practical design and it looks like it would feel very good in hand and in pocket even better. Keep up the excellent work!

It doesn't look like a ZT at all, put if you guys put that logo on it, it probably is built like a tank. Nice!

That's exactly what I thought when I saw it. I too am glad to see a less stubby/wide ZT.Woah - that thing kinda looks like the "Skyline From Hell"

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.
Ugliest Kershaw EVER.
Absolutely awful. No clean lines, no proportions, no nothing

Flat spine, no re-curve, nice flipper, great handle shape. Could be the best ZT yet.

I personally appreciate a slightly oversize handle for a heavy use knife because my hands aren't small. The blade looks to be a great size at 3 1/2". I do not have a blade/handle ratio fixed in my mind.

I just realized. It's a framelock Skyline!
Just what I've always wanted.:thumbup:
Edit: I really need to read threads more thoroughly.
