My wife and I visited SMKW today, and this is what I brought home with me.

Zero Tolerance 0566 Black Wash with Elmax steel and a Al Mar Nomad. I have never owned knives from either of these companies so I figured I would try something new. The blade is slightly off centered on the 0566 but it is barely noticeable, actually I didn't notice it when I looked it over before making the purchase. After I got a chance to examine it more closely, the blade is just slightly off centered but it has no play in any direction. I really can't find anything about the Al Mar to complain about except it is tip down carry only, but that obviously isn't a deal breaker for me. Both knives came razor sharp out of the box and seem to be very solid.
 
Sounds like you had a good day. I really need to add a Al Mar to the collection. Post a pic if you get a chance.
 
Just incase it bothers you, there's a super easy way to fix the off centered blade on your ZT.

Basically all you do is really tighten up the pivot, insert a folded piece of paper inbetween the blade and liner to center it, loosen up the screws on the G10 side(not completely out, just loosen em' up), then back off the pivot and it should be good to go, after you tighten up the handle screws, of course.

There's videos out in the ol' interwebs for a visual explaination. I had to do this after I took out the torsion bar. Works like a charm. Some people are pretty insane about having their blade hair off center.

Anyway, hope you enjoy them both. I love my 0566cf.

Here's a pic of the Al Mar with the 0566BW. For some reason you have to open the pic by clicking the little box on the top left hand side above the text.
