Anybody else excited for the ZT 0562?!

It's a bit too big in my book as well, mrdeus. But the 0770CF is an indication that ZT is willing to move in the right direction. Maybe one day they'll make a Hinderer collab based on the 3.0" XM-18. That would be a grail knife for me.

I've been hoping for this for a very long time.

A way back, Kershaw made the Starkey Ridge in ATS-34/titanium. The quality of it is comparable to knives like the ZT0777, ZT0801CF, and ZT0888. In fact, it's pretty much as-nice or nicer than any of the few hundred production models I own, and I think the fit and finish is practically Sebenza-level. KAI has the potential to make a knife of this size with a quality that would quickly put it on everyone's A-list. I love the Hinderer designs, but they are all still a little big. A 3-inch model (especially given actual XM-18s in 3 inches are a nightmare to find) would be hella awesome.

There is certainly a big demand for a knife in this size.
 
3" version of this would be perfect for me too. I find 3" and smaller just easier to manipulate. I'm happy with the 566 size-wise, my only real preference would have been if it was Ti instead of steel and had a slightly nicer finish like the 560. Not complaining, just stating my personal preference.
 
I'm excited. I didn't order the Emerson model in M390, but will probably get that one also.
