i JUST got this new knife, and it literally fell out of the box in pieces. the blade turned to dust and when i called my friend Bruce Banner over, he cut himself, got angry, and was able to muscle some vertical blade play. BLADE PLAY! u believe that!?!?!lololol blade play from a pile of parts!!!! OMG!

i couldnt flip it open no matter how hard i pushed down on the lock bar, and then when i disengaged the lock bar, it LITERALLY closed. u believe that!?!? i put my thumb on the lockbar, moved it over, and the stupid thing CLOSED!!!!!lolol, iknoright!?

i sent an email to Kaishaw and they had the NERVE to tell me to give them their knife back and they would send me a new knife and a coupon for free bacon. like im going to trust them with my knife after they broke it! LOL!

whats the matter!? dont they have QC over there!? i guess its slipping over there!

This one time I moved the liner of my 0200 over and the damn thing just closed. No warning light, no announcement, nothin.
 
Is the 0999 the one that uses that locking system where they use electromagnets to hold the blade open? I thought I read about something where they would ship you the knife and the hip pack that pumps out the magnetic field to hold the blade open. Something about not letting it leave a 3 foot radius from your body. It ruined my plans to go to the mall and use it as a ninja star but oh well...

(am I doing this right?...)
 
Preachin' to the choir, man. I tried to move the pocket clip to tip up on my 0999TSSTCBWMCKT and the screws and screw holes just stripped right out. I followed the instructions exactly except I didn't have a T6 bit so I jammed a Phillips into my pneumatic lug wrench and pushed it really hard into the screw so it wouldn't slip and then when I hit the trigger it just spun the knife around and the blade flew right off and embedded in the wall right near my head. Right near my HEAD, man. And the screws were STRIPPED. WTH are they making those screws out of, silly putty?

Whining is SO much better, because whining gets me attention, and I'd much rather be an attention w***e, than get my knife fixed. I also like faking that my lock disengages with pressure to the spine. That gets me EVEN MORE attention.

As Americans, we have the constitutional right to whine:D
 
Guess I'll have to pass on the 0999 with all these issues. Anyone know exactly when the ZT11000 will hit the shelves. It's gonna be so much better that the old 0999. I heard it was supposed to be April 1st. What takes so long over at ZT? Dont they know I want the 11000 now. Not like they have anything going on anyway.

Yea, its not like R&D takes a lot of time or anything.
 
Ive gone through 3 0999's! First one the clip failed while it was clipped to the outside of my belt and it fell in my chipper and then if FAILED again when it got chipped up. LOLZ! 2nd one was an epic failed when I shot it with my 12 gauge. The 3rd one I made ZT send me a refund because Im a douche and wanted the money! Should have been a liner lock, liner locks are way stronger than Ti frame lock!
 
I got my ZT0999RD (Rapid Deployment) about a week ago, and was so excited I could hardly sleep for the whole 8 weeks it took to get to me. But unlike some of you, mine looked perfect out of the box, and seemed to function flawlessly. I was on cloud nine!! So...for its first project...to break it in, I decided I'd go chop down a tree with it. You know, and relive the glory of my younger lumberjack days with what I believed to be the cream of my ZT collection. O777, move over!!! So in my pocket it went, and out the door I went.

But, alas, as I knelt to lace up my old caulk boots, the dang knife deployed right there in my pocket. Cut the crap out of my pants, and if I were not already circumcised....perish the thought!!! I'm already a tenor, and that's singing high enough, thank you very much!! When I finally collected myself today, about a week later, I called ZT and explained what happened. But before I could threaten a lawsuit, the dude just started laughing at me, which really made me angry. Here I have a near soprano experience, and the guy's laughing like he's off his nut. Eventually he was able to choke out 'so where did you learn to read?' Where did I learn how to READ?!!! I read just fine, you inconsiderate !@#$#%$. "Go read the description again", he said gasping for air.

Now do I ever feel stupid...and in need of reading glasses. It wasn't a Rapid Deployment version like it thought--ZT doesn't even make that version. It was the very LE Random Deployment. No wonder I got it on sale. ZT said I could return it for an exchange, but there is no way in heck I'm touching that thing. It's been sitting on a shelf in the den since this unfortunate event, randomly deploying, laughing at me like some demon-possessed hyena, and now I completely avoid that whole half of the house. In fact, I haven't slept since. Dang, that knife would give even Edgar Allen Poe nightmares.

So what do I do with that knife now? I got PTSD and am horribly sleep deprived, so something's gotta give fast, but...I got PTSD and am horribly sleep deprived and couldn't now think myself out of my own barn boots, let alone a predicament of this magnitude. I need HELP, somebody, please HELP.
 
If they really gave out free bacon coupons I would send my knife in every time a pocket clip screw or pivot screw loosened. I mean really...... I'm not kidding....
 
While I do think some complaints in recent times are valid there is no denying how true this thread rings with the majority of the whining that is spewed about some products. Especially the "my knife is too hard to open or close" threads. Buy a vero beach M/T scarab and then tell me your knife is hard to open. To be honest though, I really find it odd that with all the (insert jerk it emoticon here) complaints posted that so many people have weak hands.
