This looks like a ZT, right? Just guessing by the framelock and the clip. Which one though?

What am I looking at? I can make out the clip. Is this set up for tip up right hand? That would mean the structure under the clip is the relief cut. The pivot on the right is reflecting light and I can see what looks like the stop pin. At the top of the handle we see either milling or an inlay of somesort. I cannot see the blade.

If this is a proto ZT Emerson it looks very different from the 620/630
 
It's from the Netflix show Stranger Things. The guy who uses it actually whips it out pretty fast before dropping it, you can't get a good view of the blade this is the best I could do. The fast draw makes me think of a wave.

New episode premiers tonight I think.

He waved the knife out of his pocket!? On a major media tv show? That's it get ready for the wave to be made illigal all over the place. That's why switchblades and butterfly knives are illegal everywhere, because media brought them to mainstream concioussness and then politicians thought they could win votes from concerned mothers by banning them.

Hopefully it was a good guy on the show using it, if it was a rebellious teenager with a hoody and baggy pants we can kiss our waves goodbye. (Hoody and baggy pants being roughly the equivilent of 1950s greasers and such.)
 
Certainly an Emerson prototype...I mean look at the picture.
 
huh, learn something new every day, didn't know you could wave a tip-down knife. Also the sarcasm in this thread is a little out of hand.
I'm assuming the blade is to the left, but who knows. Its one thing to admit a task is impossible, its another to pretend its not, just to string someone along for a giggle.

Ok but they wouldn't have a ZT Emerson prototype on a newer episode of Stranger Things.

I'm starting to think the butt of the knife might actually be on the right side of the picture and the blade to the left. This would mean it is set up for tip down carry and thus not an Emerson design. I am starting to think I can see the thumbstud to the left of the clip in the picture. It looks like it might be a knife with inlays in a style similar to the WE 606.

It was a cop, using the knife to cut vines.
Yes, he was using a knife for a purpose other than violence. Shocker.
 
Let's make this fun for you old timers ;) this TV show is set in 1984 and is very faithful to its props. So, I bet this is a legitimate knife from the 80s.
