Are ZT's overpriced?

32 and I was taught to double space in computer class believe it or not. It was told to me that I was to use a single space after a comma and double space after periods. My teacher was however old enough to fart dust so it doesnt surprise me if he was teaching it the wrong way.
 
I now have 1 ZT an 0801. It is a great value for the money. Especially when compared to other makes.

1. Yes, just the 561.

2. I loved the ergonomics of the 550 and 551. They fit my hand like a glove. I didn't like the shortness of the blade. The blade always seemed a bit stumpy to me.

3. Yes. Kershawguy gave me a 350 blem once. I liked it ok. But, it didn't fit my hand well. I have since given it to a friend of mine, who uses the hell out of it. I've had to sharpen it for him a few times since I've given it to him. He LOVES it.

4. 300- lock rock after only a month or two. It was so bad you could close the knife and not touch the lock bar. They fixed it. 301 was the same. The 560 had a similar issue with the lock bar, and it would go all the way over to the far scale. I sent it in, they sent it back worse. I sent it in again. And, they fixed it up nice. KAI customer service was excellent in all cases.

5. I could no longer trust the knives. I traded all of them off.

6. I'm a big fan of Benchmades axis lock. My favorite is their Griptilian. But I also have several others, among them my favorites are the 810 Contego, and the 710-3, both in CPM M4 which is my favorite steel. With the axis lock I can open and close the knives without ever having any fingers or thumbs in the path of the knife. My favorite Spyderco is the Endura, as it has the best bang for your buck on blade length and steel. Plus, I like Spydercos fit and finish. I've never had one with any issues with f and f. The ergos on Spyderco's are very good as well.

7. Dave is a great guy. I have ordered from him. However, I've never asked him to hand pick for me. I don't know if he will or not. That's a question he would have to answer.

8. KAI customer service was great. They fixed the knives I sent in. And, they were very timely, and had good communication with me.

9. Yes, my Spydies and BM's were all better buys for me. With the cost of shipping, and the hassle, I really didn't feel the money spent was worth it on those particular knives.

10. I don't own any speakers. I use head phones. And, I use proper English and grammar whenever possible, also punctuation. But, alas, I'm not perfect and make some mistakes.

Thank you so much for this reply. Many would not answer these questions. Thanks again for your information!

I have an XM-24 - and the ZT 560 compares very favorably...

I have several custom flippers, and the ZT 0777 is equal in every way (and better in some)

I have the original Volt, and Speedform and they seem to be the foundation for the current high-end ZT's ....

I consider the ZT line to be very fairly priced...

I buy a lot of Spyderco... the funny thing is that their US produced knives are often less expensive than their other models...

I would pay $140.00 for a Spyderco Military any day of the week... for EDC and moderate hard use...

I would pay $360.00 for a ZT 560CBCF any day of the week... but I am less likely to EDC these... more for the collection...

So, as an owner of over 60 ZT knives... I think they are priced perfectly!

I share many of your comparisons, sentiments and tendencies.

Care to share your list of 60+ ZT knives in a separate thread like "List ZT Knives you currently own"?

I don't have as many as you but think that I'll be in top 3...
 
The last two ZTs I bought the pocket clips weren't sharpened. Had to do it myself.

Two spaces, though I think they got rid of that rule when they got rid of lead type.
