Help sought from Zero Thoughts Aficionados in choosing first ZT , please ...

Never should have shown those anodized blades. 3 ZT's coming Wednesday and two more are calling my name.

Well, you're sure jumping into the deep end of the pool, Pow. That 804 looks like a real sweet knife, though. I haven't handled one, but I too think you'll love it. Pretty sure I would. As far as slaking the thirst, that remains to be seen…. :indecisiveness:

Glad you like the 0801, Joe. I was carrying it for a while. I took it out of the drawer one night and there were major scratches on both sides around the pivot. I spent an entire evening in front of the TV sanding them out. It's back in the drawer for a while now and will be a careful carry going forward.

I can only imagine your facial expression when you saw those scratches Steve!!!
I know I would've panicked!!

Posted the same in a similar thread, but right now the 0801 and 0620 (both versions) are available at very good prices if you look around a little. If I was going to check out ZT knives for the first time, I'd start there.
 
I have a 452cf and while it is a sweet knife I think it's a bit unfriendly toward sheeple. Showed it to my wife and she was a bit scared lol
I'm thinking it'll have to be traded or sold to fund a 562cf :) she didn't have a problem with that one when we saw it in store; maybe it's the length or since its thin it looks dagger like?? Lol

Im thinking a 0452cf is going to be my next ZT. It will be my 12th ZT.



I have a problem.
 
Problem???? Sounds totally normal to me yams!!! I would say you had a problem if you said you had enough!!!

My little brother got me into looking at them and I can see how they're addicting lol That reminds me i still have to get him his first haha the 452 I got on trade but yeah I think it might turn into a 562cf, that's just one sexy beast!

On another note, those anodized knifes look sweet! Some people just love enabling addictions!

The 0452 is definitely not sheople-friendly. To some it looks even more like a sword than a dagger, plus it's impossible to flip without it coming out like an auto unless you open it against your leg or something. I tend to carry it only on occasions when I don't anticipate arousing panic in the general populace. I wouldn't give mine up, though. Really great knife!

Ha, yeah. I ran into that response a few times with a 452CF. [emoji16][emoji23] It's really not THAT much bigger than other models. But that little extra length on the beautiful slender blade swinging around, with the nice thwack on lockup.... I've seen more than a few people go wide-eyed for initial reaction. [emoji41]. Usually just makes me smile.

But imo the 562CF makes a bit more multi purpose EDC blade. Still won't let go of the 452 anytime soon. It's my larger "dress up" blade.

You tease!
That's it this going to find a new home :) plan to get either a 562cf or an 804; the 804 reminds me of a bigger fancier skyline for some reason

Was forced to put the 0452 CF anodized blue in my rear pocket today as well as the 0900 anodized blue in the front pocket when they arrived this afternoon. When I flipped open the 0452 at the restaurant to show my wife who can disassemble most animals with a clever and she said...actually she didn't speak...she sort of gasped. When she saw the 0900 she chuckled. She hasn't seen the 0450 CF anodized blue yet.
