New ZT/Hinderer Flipper is Coming!!!0560/0561

I ordered mine in August from Knife Center.
I was so rude with them over waiting so long for my 0551 that I thought I owed it to them to stick with the same company again for this one.
I'm sure they're going to love that. :rolleyes:
I think I got like one of the last five 0551's.

Hey buddy. The 560/561 is very different from the 300 series. The 300 is heavy and feels like a tank. The 560/561 is lighter and has a different feel. The 300 is a Sherman Tank and the 560/561 is a F/18 Fighter Jet. Both can do serious damage but delivers in a different form. :D
Hope this helps.

Alphahunter, have you ever handled (owned) a ZT 0300 series SAO folder? If you have, who
would you rate this new offering against it for hard use work. In fact, does anyone know if this ZT (ZT 056/0561) really fits into the hard use category "big rugged folder that can take some abuse??"

I've owned a ZT 0301 and it's definitely a beast. I'd like to know how this one will compare for prying, light chopping etc. (emergency shelter building - that sort of thing).

Thanks bro! ;)
 
I managed to block my pre order out of my head during hunting season. Now that Christmas is over, I am starting to think about this new knife more often. Really wanted to field dress a deer this year with the 0561. Oh well, the Para 2 had to do the dirty work.....How much longer must I wait..??

I guess no one really knows just how many will be in this first run?
The 560 and 561 are to be regular production knives, correct?
Just trying to get a feel for how hard it will be to get my hands on one of these, and if I would get one from the first batch, even if I preorder today, seeing how it seems so many have preordered already.
This would be my most expensive knife purchase, but the more I look and read about the 560, the more I seem to haaave to have one.

unfortunately i canceled my preorder when all these new spydies started coming out. ill pick one up one day though.
 
I spoke with Kershaw/ZT last thursday (12/22/11) and the lady I spoke with in C/S stated that the 0550 was the priority and late January was a more realistic goal for the 0560/61 line of knives. I told her that I was hanging my hopes in finding one under my Christmas tree...she was sorry...but dashed my hopes anyways...
 
DAMMM!
I have a serious lack of patience.
And this pre-order crap is triggering a frustration between road rage and standing in the line at the bank.

Not to say I'm psychic but I placed this prediction in another thread, and to be honest I would'nt be surprised to see Feb Mar releases.
