Hey Jimmer,
Can you tell us, conclusively, what the blade stock thickness on these is?

Thanks Jimmer for the updates, really looking forward to this one being my new EDC.
It is 0.121" thick. For the size, it is proportioned nicely and keeps the overall package slim.
I don't think so with ZT. I haven't seen anything. I've seen "First Production 1 of 500" on R.A.M.'s and Skylines, but that's it.Anyone know if when you preorder a kershaw or ZT, will it say First Production on the blade being the first batch? I know Benchmade does it and when I pre-odered a knife, it came with it and it bugged me so much I returned it. I'd hate to pre-order this and return it. Anyone know?

it kind of looks like the Kershaw cryo
I love my 056x's and am looking forward to this offering. Framelock question since I am more of a fixed blade, traditional, axis lock guy. I have lots of moaning about the framelock being steel and not titanium. I have also heard that steel to steel lock ups have less wear on the framelock than titanium. Other than weight and perhaps cool factor, is there any downside to a steel frame lock?
Also, can you confirm that the speedsafe can be removed easily in this model.
Thanks. Pete
My guess is the only downside of steel other than weight would be that it could rust, which I don't see as an issue. I am looking forward to the 566 with the steel framelock just so I don't have to worry about wear on the lock. Sometimes it seems like ZT can read my mind as almost everything the come out with is something I want!

Titanium also has a greater strength to weight ratio than steel.
