Kershaw/ZT Picture Thread!!! Let's See Em'!

Just received this ZT 0470. It's the 48th ZT (and one of 3 Sinkevich designed ZT models) now in my collection:

It's a bit smaller than I thought it would be but it's ok, since it's one of only a few ZT that I'd want to own that I didn't own already.

Great little flipper that one!
 
In my opinion, the 0452 and the 0470 are the best sinkevich designs. I tried to love the 0462 twice, hopefully they release a sprint! And the 0450 was too small. Sharp dressed knives makes inserts for the 0470 BTW.

The 0452 is my favorite & I've got 5 variations of it.

In order from top to bottom they are:

1) 0452CF
2) M390BLU
3) M390GLD
4) 0452TI
5) 0452GL

I also had a 0452BLU (the all blue anodized Ti model) but I sold it because I didn't like it.

I also thought that the 0450 was too small & sold the only 1 that I owned but its small size wasn't the only reason I sold it. The 0470 is just as small as the 0450 but I like it better & am keeping it because it's more stylish & I'm more likely to carry it.

Only have one version of the 0462 -- the Sprint 0462BLK -- which was the only 1 that Iiked:

eyJidWNrZXQiOiAiZmlsZXMua25pZmVjZW50ZXIuY29tIiwia2V5IjogImtuaWZlY2VudGVyL3plcm90b2xlcmFuY2UvaW1hZ2VzLzA0NjJCTEsuanBnIiwiZWRpdHMiOiB7InJlc2l6ZSI6IHsid2lkdGgiOiA3NjAsImhlaWdodCI6IDQxNSwiZml0IjogImNvbnRhaW4iLCJiYWNrZ3JvdW5kIjogeyJyIjogMjU1LCJnIjogMjU1LCJiIjogMjU1LCJhbHBoYSI6IDF9fX19


And now I've got the 0470 which, frankly, I only bought because dealers are now blowing it out & I was able to pick it up for cheap & because it was an earlier blue box version.

I only own ZTs that came in green, black & blue boxes (indicating that they are older). I don't own any ZTs that came in the newer light grey boxes & don't plan to ever buy any.

Only the oldie but goodie ZTs for me. ;)

Dang I had no idea they did a black version, I like that mo betta than the standard for sure. I hope they do a blackwash version, that is my favorite ZT finish by far. I was able to track down a 0452 blackwash and it's awesome!
 
I gotta say, the G10 and full Ti versions in your collection are pretty dang sweet! That Ti version is screaming for some WOK custom work!

I never modify any knife that I buy. I always keep them as I bought them. Even the fob that is attached to the 0452GL is just as it came to me.

I respect that, I'm similar. I have yet to send something off for customization, but I have a few candidates when I work up the nerve 😁 the giant slabs of Ti on my recently acquired K2 would make a great creative medium!

I'd never do anything to my K2. It's your $ & your knife but the idea of modifying the K2 just gives me chills. LOL! 😲

Yea, it did take me a long while to track one down, and they are getting very rare at this point, so it will likely remain unmolested. I have commissioned a limited run FMP with Farid that I am looking forward to later this year. I dig his designs for sure, I wish ZT would collaborate.

Dooo it my brother from another mother!! Just pick that sack of bowling balls up and drop it right on the table. Nothing is more rare than a 1/1!
 
I made a mistake & bought this ZT 0560CBCF XXXX (Second), which I just received today.

The knife looks "correct" & there are no noticeable defects but I don't normally buy seconds & I don't normally buy a ZT w/o proper labeling on the box, which is what I did in this case. 🤦

My mistake was not reading the listing more carefully which fully disclosed that it was a second & showed that there was no bar code labeling on the box identifying the model of the knife. 🤦🤦

Oh well, I got it for "good" price & it looks good paired with the standard 0560. So, I'll keep it until I can find non-XXXX version of it. 🤷‍♂️

I miss those early days too man! I remember when the brand was already making knives, but you couldn't even find them yet by putting 'Zero Tolerance' into a search engine. That was back when they just had the 300 series, and maybe the 350, but we were at first told that you had to be military or LE to get one. Although I dont know if that ever actually ended up being a thing or not in the very beginning.
