I've had this for two days...my flipper finger is getting worn out.;)






So far no issues. Beautiful, functional, solidly built knife. Just what I have come to expect from ZT.
 
Congrats on being able to get ahold of one! I finally caved and got the "regular" 0562 (and put a custom scale on it). It is an awesome knife. I'm still on the lookout for a 0562CF, but my immediate urgency has been alleviated for the time being.
 
I saw one under glass today at (local sporting goods store) and was seriously tempted to fondle it...
But I was on my way to work and there was nobody working the knife counter :(

If it wasn't for the Reate Horizon-C coming out later this month, I probably would have snagged the 0560CF today. I've never seen one at (local sporting goods store) before... I wonder how long it'll last.
 
Congratulations!!!!, it looks like it was worth the wait. Now, some new hardware for it will set it off.

I didn't know they were that hard to find. My local knife shop had three of them in stock, so I got to hand pick the best one. :)
 
All this 562 talk is making me start to miss mine!
Mine is off getting a new scale right now, should be back home any day now.

What is the wait time on these. I would like to purchase one, but have not been able to find any in stock.. Any idea on a retailer to get one from?
 
The 0562CF should have been the 2014 Blade Show Knife of the Year. That's just my opinion, of course. And if ZT ever makes a 3.0" version of it, it will be mine.

What kinda scale are you getting?

Shred Carbon Fiber with infused Silver Dust, some pretty exotic stuff!
A forum member is making it for me, I'll def post pics when it's here:thumbup:

I'd say it's one of the best-bangs-for-your-buck out there right now.

It's not all that big, but I know you're a pocket carry kinda guy. I couldn't imagine carrying my 0562 deep in my pocket, it'd be like having $10 worth of change in there!

Yep. 4 ounces is about my carry limit. A 3.0" version would achieve that easily, I suspect. I don't think ZT will ever make it, but a man can hope. And after what they announced this year, anything's possible.

It might not be the 562, but their new smaller offering for 2015 might bring some smaller ZT's to the table next go-around. I guess they'll have to see how their 3" and under blades will sell first.

I'm not a fan of the 2015 ZT's (as you probably already know;)) but I think it's great that they have more size options for those needing a lighter/smaller blade. With all the awesome stuff ZT has been putting out, I guess I can't complain that their new ones are not for me. We were pretty spoiled by ZT in 2014, great stuff they had!
 
Knifeworks is taking Pre-orders on them, does anyone know if you pay the whole cost up front or when the knife ships?
 
Dammit, now I am seriously considering rolling over to (local sporting good store) on my lunch break and fondling a couple of these...
 
God. I am sick. I have a real problem.

As expected.... it went a little further than a fondle...

I tried one of these at a knife store(waaaayyyy over priced one in eastern Arizona I might add) it was too small for my oversized hands! Bummer.......... It is a nice one though and congrats!
