Ok, I already said what I would do for that when I though it was just a bad pic of regular black pvd. NOW i see what it really looks like! I am going to put it out there... This version of the rexford is the most enticing ZT/Kershaw I have ever seen. NO Joke, NO hyperbole. That is awesome.
 
I gotta figure out when im gonna go to Blade show it may be early tomorrow morning...
 
Diggin' the 0770CF - still not sure about that reverse recurve, though.
Prefer the scales on the Ti 0801 to the CF - but I do love me some M390. And the grind - Wow!
More...More...More...

Yeah that copperhead color is the shit! Wasn't sure about this knife with the first pics. Looked like a dull brown. But to see how it really looks...WOW!

The cf inserts give it depth against the copperhead coating. It looks better in my opinion, I mean its kinda like the cf inserted blurs you know! All carbonfiber would be a bit boring for a l.e.
 
Damn...have a 801 on pre-order already...really want one of those 801CF tho

I know this thread is for Kershaw and ZT stuff, but do we know what they are competing against for that title? That 0801CF does look a TON better in the later pictures, but (it might just be me) does look like it is on the same level as say the 0777 or the 0888 from previous years. Then again, I loved the 0777 but didn't care for the 0888. I just hope it isn't going to hold the same price tag of $500+.
 
I love all of these new knives. I love the D2, I've found regular to be a great steel on the Benchmade users I have and the etching should take care of the potential corrosion issues. Who am I kidding though, that is such a beautiful knife I'd have a hard time using it rough enough to matter. These are all so fantastic.. I hope I win the lottery soon and can buy all of them!
 
I'm also really loving that blade on the 0801CF. The contrast of the fresh grinding against the remaining DLC (with the additional contrast against the copper and CF). I just wonder, how is M390 vs Elmax? I know that Kershaw once had them side by side with the Speedform and Volt several years ago.
