I too was one of those that received a return. Was my most recent purchase actually, my first ZT. When I opened the package it was pretty obvious as the clip had a skid mark where shiny metal under the black was showing on the high spot on the end and the flipper grooves were full of crusty debris and was full of a fair share of lint.
It was the last ZT0220 the store had and I really liked the knife so I kept it, broke it down and tossed all the parts in the ultrasonic and let it buzz a while.
