New ZT drop on 11/4. Any leakes?

I didn't mean to throw shade, I'm not a collector, so I'm always. thinking practical. The 0470, I loved many things about it, but could but get myself to carry it. I'm hoping the new ZT will not just be a practice in manufacturing something unique, but something I can feel good about using.

Yes Sir, let’s see ZT go out with a bang! Let’s see them bring us a Hind-onion-evich-son collab.

I kind of like the new Tilt, but I think it was $500. That puts it in the same ballpark as base-level CRK, LG, Hinderer, and those are knives I would actually carry. I know Id feel weird carrying a Tilt, especially since it probably comes in a fancy box with a certificate…. It’s a collector type piece that would end up a safe queen in my possession, and I’m not into that as much these days.

The prospect of ZT closing shop makes me sad. I'd hate to see that happen.

Closed like one of their spine-wacked blades...

Sorry, couldn't help myself😆:p

I hope they go back to more robust designs. I have always liked ZT. They were the first folding knife brand that I spend over $200 on...and they have cost me thousands of dollars since :P

And I have five. I planned to have one of them hollow ground by BGM just to see how much that will improve the slicing ability.

Yea, it's hard to not grab them up, especially when there have been some great deals on em in the exchange! Just a superb design and execution. If you end up with the regrind, I'd love to hear your thoughts, I have a standard s35 one that might need the same 😁

Will do. I even got a price quote from BGM but I have not shipped the knife out for the mod. The standard S35vn/cf is the first that I got. Latter I added variants of G10, full ti, MC, and blackwash. These are the only ZTs that I still have. If KAI is to discontinue its ZT lines as speculated here, I think I'd like to grab a few other models like 0620, 0630, and 0850, if possible. Honestly I won't miss any ZT-Hinderer models like 0560/1, 0562, and 0393 as after trying all of them (multiples) I concluded that I prefer the true Hinderers.

I sold a lot of mine as well, but I still have an 0808 and an 0801ti, which were two of the best IMO, along with the 0909 and the 0452s of course
 
For ZTs, I only have a 0560, 0562, 0801,and 0452 left... If they released any of those as a hollow grind or Skinny I would bite. Especially the 0452

Better start hunting for the 0620 and 0630! Those are getting pretty rare. I share your opinion on the Hinderer models, the real thing is a bit better for almost the same money.
