For the life of me I can't figure out how to center the blade on my ZT 0566. I followed the tips on this forum and youtube which suggest tightening the pivot, closing the knife, loosening the frame, pulling the blade to the side you want it to go, and tightening the frame. I just can't seem to get it centered past a certain point. Anyone have any alternate tips they recommend for centering the blade on this knife?

My blade is always off a hair to the G10 side. It remains assisted.

Thanks!
 
Got it this morning!

The ZT 0566 has screws on both sides of the frame (the G10 side and the lockbar side) that thread in to the standoffs in between. I had been trying to do the adjustment exclusively by loosening and tightening the screws on the G10 side of the blade, per everything I had seen and read. Last night I tried the adjustment using the screws on the lockbar side of the blade and was able to get it perfectly centered in one shot.
 
I'm glad you figured it out. I couldn't reply to your post as I don't know how. And unless there's interference, then I wouldn't notice how off center my blades are.
