Getting awful tired of seeing all these 0640 pics lately, because it's going to force me to pull mine out, and then I'll be stuck carrying it for the next week because it's such a good knife.
Siiiiigghhhhh....(opens knife chest lid) Guess I know what I'm carrying this weekend.

It's hard to believe that ZT would discontinue such a home run of a knife. I hope they bring it back at some point.

Hard agree, I've got mine out and will have to snap a pic or two later after this Teams meeting* is done. I think I'm going to need to look into aftermarket scales for it.
* That definitely could have been a group email or Teams chat discussion

Mine arrived second hand with sharp dressed Micarta scales and a matching MXG clip, the scales are quite nice.

Ernie likely didn't like hearing the ole razzle dazzle of "ZT builds a better Emerson than Emerson"

Well done.I would own one, but like every other ZT, it weighs as much as a brick. They figure that out and I’ll buy one.

The 620 and 630 are big chonk.. The 640 on the other hand.. from my well 'calibrated hand scale' isnt much different than an Inkosi.

It's one of the best liner locks I own. The action is good and the lock-up is solid. The G10 on mine is nicely finished. The rounded handle contours are very comfortable in use. That does make it a little thicker in pocket than some of the flatter designs out there but it hasn't been an issue for me. The wire clip is both ergonomically friendly and easy on pockets. The blade is where it really shines. It isn't just that it has an attractive finish or that it's MagnaCut with a proper heat treatment. The blade thickness is 0.10" (2.5mm) at the base of the spine and the geometry is excellent. It just sails through cardboard. I really wish more modern folders would come with blades like this.
