Blade 2013 thread! (KAI related)

[stebolicious]

Just when I was starting to feel jaded, ZT decides to show off so many delightful new offerings. Well, I definitely have at least two more knives on my list now.

By the way, anyone know the blade length on that 0454?

4.25

I apologize if someone already answered this question, but does the new version of the 0770 still have Speedsafe or was it switched out for ball bearings or perhaps washers???

Its still speedsafe.

By the way, anyone know the blade length on that 0454?

From the pictures (one with a ruler) the ZT 0454 seems to have dimensions very similar to the ZT 0600:

0600 specs:
Overall Length: 9.5"
Blade Length: 4.25"
Closed Length: 5.25"
Weight: 6.875 oz.

I will say that the 0801CF and 0454 have completely killed any desire I had fo an 0600.

Not for me
I still want an 0600.
I think RJ Martin's designs are my favorite.

I really want the 0560BW... and the new 0770. Would be cool if they made a 0770BW

I think I still prefer the 0600 to the new knives announced.

Never been a fan of the way the handle looks on that one. Thank goodness for options, eh?

 

[Morrow]

The 0560BW is an amazing knife. The finish makes it feel like a whole new piece, and I can't stop playing with it. I'm flipping one open right now. Wait...what?

Me too. Of all the 056x knives I have...this one is my favorite.

Dang, why does the 0454 have to be D2?

D2 is a fine steel, extremely underrated. Never had one rust (with moderate care) nor chip. Never messed with CPM D2, but I imagine it'd be as good if not better than regular D2.

 

[greeenie]

Must agree, d2 probably holds its edge longer than any other knife i have used. Very under rated

 

[rororo64]

Anyone see any cool new Kershaw models?

CPM-D2 is worlds better than regular D2 IMO.
