Is this a Blackwashed ZT 0801 that is renamed MM01K Minuteman?

As right now we are totally sold out on the knives. We are working on a follow up now which may be a fixed blade or maybe a lower priced folder. If we can even do another ZT in the future we would love to. =)
 
Well the 0801BW was announced, kinda makes me second guess ordering this knife because who knows when it will come out. I really really hope it comes out the same time or before the normal 0801BW, but I'm doubting that. Also, will this knife still have the same lifetime warranty through ZT as any of their other knives?

It will have the same warranty. When is the normal version due out? Ours are slated for production end of this month and I would think they would be made at the same time as the regular. If you want a refund let me know I have no problem giving you one.
 
As long as it's the same warranty and they'll be out around the same time, then I'm happy. I don't mind spending the little extra money on the sterile blade and the donation.

No idea when theirs is going to be available, but you're right and they'll probably be produced at the same time.
 
My guess is the dealers will sell them for $200 to $210. But our version will raise funds for vets have a sanitized blade and if we have enough come with our zipper cases. So we will be a bit higher but we are doing more or at least trying to. =)

Agreed. I paid $241.30 for the Minuteman MM01K and it's worth the extra money for the cause and the case. The regular ZT 0801BW will probably have a MAP of about $210 initially. I'm curious to see if they have the same or similar finish.
 
Well you can buy a 0801 for $165, so the BW will probably be selling for around $180 or so when it's released.

Personally, I doubt that initially. A couple of months down the road probably. When the ZT 0801 first came out late June of last year it can only be had for $192 (MAP).

You're probably right. I think the demand for the BW version will be much less than when it was initially released though.

Agreed. Personally, I think they overdid it with too many BlackWashed models. However, I think both the 0801BW and 0801BLK will look great!
 
By the end of July. So far as I know they have not yet been produced. I will check with ZT this next week.
 
Wasn't able to get in on this, but the knife looks sweet as hell. You should be proud, Thomas.
 
Just got an update from ZT. It seems they had a delay in getting in a supply Titanium they needed. Currently the parts are out for coating and they say it will be 2 two 3 weeks as it stands now till they have the knives ready. I had told folks we plan to have these shipped by the end of July. I am still hoping this will be the case.
 
Looks like the Minuteman MM01K will be ready right around the time the ZT 0801BW will be.

I think other than the clip and sanitized blade you can't tell them apart.

Not a problem from my perspective, Thomas. Delays are common in this industry & ZT does this routinely. You're keeping us informed and I can't ask for more than that. :)

I was hoping that would be the case and I agree - it does appear that they will look almost identical. Good deal, IMHO, as I won't have to buy two. Glad I am getting the Minuteman instead of the 0801BW. :thumbup:
 
I am waiting to hear back but I am hoping this delay actually works out better with the padded zipper cases we are waiting on so all of these could then ship with those.

I want to thank all of your for the strong support on this. Because of the support we did receive our retail business has just added several new brands and now we look more like a knife retailer than a watch retailer.

We actually use profits from the other sales to support our efforts at Minuteman. Which we are currently working with publishers and PR companies to increase the exposure of the brand in the next 12 months. So we can sell more Minuteman Co product and thus raise more for charities that assist veterans and their families.

Currently we are working with Mercury One quite a bit and next year I would like to also work with Fisher House as well as a few other great charities.
 
Folks I have some happy news for all. I have just heard from our case supplier and as it stands now each knife will ship in one of our nice American made padded zipper cases. =) I hope all of you are having a great Independence Day. Sitting hear listening to Capt. Dale Dye who is on KFI in LA right now.
