Wow. I thought ebay was bad. If it sells I think I'll list a couple over there.

Amazon charges 20% commission last time they contacted me to list products. There has to be a mark-up. Better to pick one up on the exchange when they become available. :)

Sorry it took so long to respond. It has a lot of the XM looks and is in the middle as far as size of the XM 18 3.5 and XM24 but it is a different knife. It has a lot of custom high end features and for the money you can't go wrong. It's smooth and light and well built. It will make for a great EDC. I can't wait to get mine ;) The two I handled were great! Along with the 0777.

I'm grinding my teeth waiting too. I guess Thomas is not going to rush this out to market to please us and end up with problems, like the ZT0551 which I much prefer. :thumbup:
 
Just found out about this knife a couple days ago and literally couldn't get to sleep thinking about it. I just put my wife through law school and so haven't bought a new knife in over 4 years. This will be the next. I came really close to buying a couple different ZT models but sooo glad I waited.

Only one thing worrying me now - pivot strength. I have no experience with this bearing pivot - how's it stack up for strength? I expect it can't be quite as robust as the 0300 series right...?

Someone just please tell me not to worry about it. Pretty please?

Don't worry about it. It's a brute. The bearings don't need lubricant. No blade movement whatsoever. :)
 
Thanks Knivesandguns!

I can't get over the feeling that this really might be The Best production folder currently being offered. By anybody. Am I wrong?
 
Let me also say that I understand that everyone has different tastes and to some The Best is the SAK Cadet their Father gave them blah blah blah. (I tend to piss people off when I post - no idea why...)

Just look in the Yellow Pages (big yellow book) under Mental Health Clinic. I'm sure there's one near you! :rolleyes:
 
That's the beauty of BF. There's always someone out there with helpful advice!

Yep, you're wrong. The Hinderer XM series is still top dog. (XM-18 in 3" & 3.5" blade, and the XM-24 with a whopping 6" blade). Th 0651 has some new techno advances not found on the XM's (i.e. KVT washer) but it is still second to the XM (albeit a very, very close second and at half the price). When the ZT 0777 comes out, that may be a serious challenger.

Hey man - just yanking yer chain. I'll be there too. :D Don't worry about the pivot strength this is a Zero Tolerance "top of the line" production knife. I'm sure the Chris Reeve & Hinderer fans might take issue to it being called the best production folder available but you just may be right! ;)
 
No worries CZIV. I always think of Hinderer and CR as semi-custom I guess. I'm just so happy with the way ZT put this one together. To me it's in a class by itself - especially taking price into account.
