I just bought this new based on a "Gem" rating from Nick Shabazz. It is a Gem but a bit larger than the knives that I like so I have had it for 1 day and have decided to sell it for my next knife.
Its a tough good looking knife and blade with a smooth fast and commanding opening and a smooth closing. I have not doubt that a little lube and pin adjustment that it could be a drop closing if you like. I have not sharpened it or lubed it. I took it out, flipped it a few times and then carried it.
It is listed on EBAY right now here http://r.ebay.com/sw4ezR
I have not sold my knives on BF but thought I would try it this time. Here are the specs and better description and photos
Description
ZT0562CFCTS: Model 0562CF
Zero Tolerance Knives
Carpenter CTS-204P + CARBON FIBER IN THE RIGHT-SIZED ZT
The cousin of the 0562, this ZT features the same special Rick Hinderer flat-ground "slicer" grind that provides both slicing efficiency and a tough point, but on a Carpenter CTS-204P stainless steel blade.
CTS-204P offers a premium combination of features: the ability to take a very sharp edge, wear resistance for superior edge retention, toughness and polish-ability. When creating this alloy, one of the uses Carpenter specifically had in mind was making custom knives.
The 0562CF's handle has a carbon fiber front scale and stonewashed titanium back. For secure lock up during use, ZT uses a frame lock with hardened steel lockbar inserts and lockbar stabilization.
The knife opens with a flipper and moves out of the handle on our smooth KVT ball-bearing opening system. A washer with caged ball bearings surrounds the pivot and makes opening the knife nearly frictionless; just pull back on the flipper and add a roll of the wrist and the 0562CF is ready for action.
The unique pocket clip is reversible (left/right) and enables extra-deep carry in the pocket.
