I'm not in love with the recurve, the price, or the general look. To me, this looks like an overpriced Chinese wannabe version of the ZT 560. They even tried to match the Ti texturing. Does anyone else share that view?

Nice knives, ReaTe. Unfortunately, it seems that even an original design isn't good enough for some people here. I don't see any "obvious" similarities between the 560 and the Horizon, but there will be people that will grasp at straws. Keep up the good work, hope to see more models in the future.
 
I have to say, I love the look of the CNC'd out lanyard hole on the Horizon A. That looks cool.

Other than that, I find the rest of the knife underwhelming.

Yes, but what if it breaks under normal use? Can a customer return it for a new knife or free repair? Will you ship parts (pocket clip, screws, etc.) to a person that requests them? (Zero Tolerance (KAI) does.)

Not trying to bash your new product; just letting you know what the competition is.

I hope you're not going to market this as a Custom knife. Its a factory made knife isn't it ?
If you do market as a full blown Custom I don't think people will like that.
Also, $350 is to much for that knife IMO.
Good luck.

And yet you were quoting something about Kizer.

Man, get over it. I wasn't even quoting you. I was simply talking about the many better knives that are cheaper.

A simple value comparison to the ZT 560, which I don't own.

No, I don't work for ZT.
