That's a great looking ZT! Welcome aboard.

Thank you!

You made a good choice. I also purchased an 0770 in M4...but I asked them not to ship it until next week; so I get to wait a while longer. In the meantime, I've been playing a bit with the aluminum handled version - I always loved the look, but it was a little small in hand (so it got shelved). Luckily, I've been using some smaller fixed blades, lately; so I'm not as put off by it as I had been. Hopefully I like the carbon fiber on this one.

Thanks ! It feels great in my hand although I do have small to medium size hands but I don't feel cramped what so ever .

Good choice. I have the regular elmax CF version, and its a great knife.

Thanks I'm beyond happy with it !

That 770 is one of my favorite designs. That would probably be my next choice of their current lineup of folders.

Wow, they should put that under "The Leading Edge of Knife Discussion" on the BladeForums logo.

I agree it really is a great design !

Bet you can't own just one ZT.

It's funny you would mentioned that because I went to get some accessories for my Edge pro and was checking out a ZT 566BW
Almost left with it but I'm proud to say I escaped ...barely lol .

I am sick with this.

Ordered one today!!

I had to do something to show support for KSF after that awesome free kids knife offer, and since this is an exclusive that I could not get from my regular kershaw guy, I thought it was a perfect knife to choose.

In addition, I had been wanting to try out a 770, so......

I bet it is almost in the mail already!

Too funny. I went in today to grab 600 and 1,000 grit stones for the Edge Pro and also wound up leaving with an 0562.

How cool ! Much congrats on the 562 👍
What's even funnier is I was down there today around 1200pm our paths might of crossed lol . I went to check out the ZT 560 and 566 . Ended up leaving with a Benchmade 940-1 Osborne and ZT 566CF .

Some pictures of the new family members .. ZT 566 CF

All because my BM484 Nacamura felt lonely due to my recent ZT encounters

Thank you, sir. Great buys on your end! My 0566 is the standard G-10 version. The cf definitely dresses it up a bit. I'd say the 940-1 is a better get than the 0560, as well. I love how the 0560 looks, but I don't care for the insane handle length. The 940-1 is a great dress clothes option.

The guy working this morning showed me the BM Valet while I was in. That thing is sexy. May become my first BM. Tough to say, though. I'm feeling like my bases are well covered now.

For sure I really like the looks of the CF but the G10 with the black Stonewash and standard Stonewash really had me going back and fourth they both have there advantages but thanks I really like it . That BM Valet would be a great first BM especially with that M390 Super steel . That 562 you picked up is one sweet knife and has a great in the hand feel with some super smooth action . I think you also made a great choice and should be very very happy ! The 560 did have a big handle but liked the beefiness lol .

Went back today and swapped out my 566 cf for a 562 . I realized 90% of my blades are 3" or smaller and the 562 was a great happy medium not to big and not to small . The 566 is really sweet but I'm sure liking the action and feel of this 562 .
Thanks for mentioning it because it was the only one they didn't have on display yesterday so never gave it any thought until you mentioned it .
Thanks man !!

Nice choice!
My first ZT was a user 0301 I found on ebay. Here's what I've tried since then in order:

0200
0200KW
0550 gen 1
0200st
0301 blem
another 0200KW
0150 boot knife
0801 blem
0400
0777-M390

For some reason I don't have any left, but they're all great.

Very nice, sir! I'm glad you're enjoying the swap out. I only realized they had 0562s in stock because I browse the website daily like a dirty junkie. Glad my fiending served a purpose!

It's funny how a collection can change over the years but it seem they'll always have a place in our heart 😎
