Bought a Zero tolerance & Benchmade

man I must be unlucky! I never find deals like these hahaha...I'd pay $60 for a ZT any day, remind me I need to stop in every pawn shop I go by.
 
I just spoke with the guy in the pawn shop that you bought it from and he said that he made a mistake by selling it to you, and he wants you to send it to me. Please email me for my mailing address.

hahaha aint that the truth, I'm lucky that my wife approved buying this years traditional forum knife...let alone going off and spending hundreds at pawn shops. That said, when I was 17 I found an 80's model Kershaw trooper in a pawn shop for $30...those things still fetch a premium, mine was in rough shape when i got it though and spent ages hand rubbing the blade to a usable condition and had to make a sheath for it.
 
I am thinking that someone didn't like the tiger stripes and put a black coating on it instead, if they did though they did a really nice job on it.
 
There was like 7 of these on Ebay a couple days ago. Same deal, totally sterile, except for the clip. I wanted one, (they were going pretty cheap) but it didn't seem kosher somehow.
 
I have JYD 1720 without production date. There are all other markings, no more differences from other JYDs I have seen on photos, and the quality is great. Just interested why no production date?
 
awesome deal, and almost certainly "real," in that it's composed of real ZT parts, but I haven't seen a sterile blade on any full production ZT--or the black blade combo with the olive g10, but that might merely be due to some sprint run I missed studying too much.

The born on dating is gone on all newer Kershaws and ZTs. It has been for 1 1/2 or so. Cost savings I believe. There was a post somewhere that said it was because the ATF wanted it stopped, but that sounds a little fishy.

That wouldn't really make any sense....but then again, a lot of things don't make sense.
