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

I owned a ZT 0452 TiBLU before but sold it because I really didn't like it.

This was before I built up my 0452 collection & when I saw this one on The Exchange I decided to buy it again to backfill the collection:

From top to bottom, they are:

1) 0452 TI
2) 0452 TIBLU
3) 0452 CF
4) 0452 CFM390BLU
5) 0452 G10
6) 0452 RDBW
7) 0452 GL

If there's another variation of the 0452 that exists (other than the 0454) that I'm unaware of it but I would appreciate anyone letting me know what they think might be missing from this collection. Thanks!

Thanks! 😎

Forgot about that 1 because, like the TiBLU, I didn't like it when I saw it before.

Looks like it's pretty hard to come by now but I'll keep an out for 1.

I don't always aim for completeness when collecting a particular model Kershaw or ZT (for example, I never bought a VIB to complete my Kershaw 1840 Shallot collection because I never liked it) but the WBW isn't as offensive to me.

I also put off buying the RDBW for a long time for the same reason.

BTW, apart from the cost, the reason I never bought a 0454 because I never liked the way it looked. 🤷

That 0801 TIBLU is one I've tried to find for a long time. I just never see them pop for anywhere near what I can afford to drop on them.

Yeah, the 0801 TiBLU has risen dramatically in terms of the asking prices for it recently.

I'm generally not a fan of ZT's "blue" knives (eg, the 0452 TiBLU) but the 2 tone coloring of the blue & the design etched in the handle of the 801 TiBLU makes it one of the most beautiful knives that ZT ever made IMO.

My 0801TiBLU example has a much better/thinner grind than the half dozen or so other 0801 examples I've had, along with it being a satin belt finish rather than stonewash.

When I saw this 0452, I knew I wanted one.

sgt1372 sgt1372 I know you have a great set of the 0801s, did you get the USN one? I am not sure how many of them they made for a gathering years ago.

I just have the two 0801s -- the plain Ti & TiBLU -- with the 5 hole design that I posted a pic of above.

Sorry, I never liked the solid handle variant like the USN above nor the Copperhead model that many other people love.

The ZT model that I've most collected is the 0452 which is my favorite.
