Lost the ZT0500 to my son that is.
He really took a shine to it and since he has recently become a voluntary firemen, I thought that this would be an excellent folder to carry since it is sealed. The area is rural, and several times a year they have brush fires to deal with so a sealed pivot and lock will be appreciated. So now that it is lost, I found another one at my friendly knife dealer named Roger. It will be in my grubby little hands tomorrow! My last one was put through the paces and it has done an excellent job. The blade is still as tight as the day it came out of the box with no bladeplay at all, in any direction. I've read where several folks have gotten some vertical play after a period of time. I don't really baby my knives, but I also don't go out of the way to take it to the max, but I feel with the work this knife has done it would have already developed vertical play if it were going too. Anyway I'm looking forward to getting it as I have some ideas on how to mod the clip that I think will work better than on my lost one. These ZT's are so nice that even though I have had this one for a year or so, I'm still looking forward and anticipating getting a replacement.:thumbup:
