Thanks EricV! I've seen them all, but a recap is always good. BTW. Is that a gray scale that I see? (2nd and 3rd from the bottom) Hmm.... I'd like to preorder that one as well! Prolly a proto only though.

That was my first thought when I was clipping the link, never noticed that before. It'd be an interesting color option (foliage green almost?) but it probably is just the 561 scale with an color balance.

Yall are welcome, they were all brought to us by Thomas though so hats off to the Big man ! :thumbup:
 
I've never been awaiting for a knife so bad !... it looks sooo great on he preview videos... damn!

Now I've just placed a pre-order... first time in my life !

This forum is defintetively bad for my knife-realted issues :D :p

Do you mean soon, as in you know something? Or soon as in the way that we've been saying soon for the last few months? :)

Thank you Rick for keeping us posted!:)
 
Is it bad that every morning I wake up and think to myself, "Today could be the day Thomas says the 0560 is shipping to dealers."???
 
Wow! Thanks EricV! I've never seen all of those pix put together in a single post. I may have just pee'd a little :o
 
Would it be wrong to ask if the initial production will be large enough to meet the initial demand? There have been lots of dealers taking pre-orders for months. The anecdotal evidence on this board would seem to indicate rather large demand in the market place. I know we should show patience about shipping. I was just wondering if number of 560/561s was going to be large enough? Just wondering while I patiently wait. :)

I don't think you are wrong to ask but commonsense says that no way can KIA produce the demand this knife has stirred up, in one production run.
 
This will be one of those models that creates back orders for quite sometime. At least that is my prediction.

I emailed zt recently and they told me that the first run is finished and they will be shipped to dealers asap!

This is not accurate information.

How many times do I have to post that when the knives are ready I'll let you know. No email, no phone call to the factory will bring forth the info needed to post on this thread. I've told you, this place will be the first to know when the release of the knives happens.
 
Here's the deal, because of the popularity of these knives a giant backorder has grown. The first run of the 0560's will fall waaaay short with the current demand. I'm very careful with what I post about the when's, where's and who's when talking about this product. Information is one thing, accurate information keeps the hysteria to a minimum.

I will say that the first small shipment has come and gone overseas. We had agreements that needed to be met, thus the first shipment.

The balance of the first run parts cut are in assembly and QC. It won't be long now. The parts we have cut now will not be enough to cover our backorders on these two knives. We will allocate domestically with this balance. Doubt if anyone will get shipped complete right away.

Thanks for your understanding and patience. I'll keep you posted.
