I went to the Indy 1500 today and almost walked out with a Kershaw Launch 1 (yeah, I found a guy with 3 of them) but I stumbled across a 562 for only $170 and after inspecting every aspect the only complaint is that it doesn't have money stuffed in it. I will note clearly that if you think I am trying to sell my 562 you aren't the sharpest marble in the shed... A flipper with a perfect detent and ungodly smooth action is something you cannot pass off.

Talking to the dealer I bought it from and a few other ZT dealers it seems like 562 shipments are just not getting out. I now know why I'm seeing so many people make a big deal about getting one. The knife really is spectacular, but supply issues are making it absurdly hard to get if you don't shop at the major dealers. The one I bought it from ordered a bunch of them and got... 2. All I can say is if you can check out the detent to make sure it is dialed in, get one.

Of course the obligatory picture.
 
Nice score! I love mine. Wanted to get the CF but couldn't wait that long. I think I am going to get some micarta for mine and just be happy!
 
I scored a CF one on the exchange at a pretty decent price. It is quite phenomenal. Melts right into my hand. Your observation of the detent and smoothness is spot on.
 
They are out there and pop up for sale all the time. You just have to keep your eyes open and be ready to jump. I have bought 2 of the CF's for MAP.
