Hey Thomas/Rick - - how about a few more hints on this? Any decision on the pivot? Any parts cut yet for the protos? Start our weekend off right with a little love.

I don't think there has been any mention of a production run. We're still in the prototype stage...
Actually we're not even in the prototype stage, we're in the design stage. As is the knife is nothing more than an CAD drawing.

Good news.....always good to have a fearless leader. Crack the whip on the production guys!
Nope, not this week.
No worries, I'll walk you through it...as usual.

This one "may be" a 4" blade or if we can go by ZT track record maybe 3.75" which would rock! :thumbup:

I'm still on board for the ZT flipper. The 0551 is a very nice knife, and I expect the flipper to be similar in overall build quality. The XM has calmed me down a little though. It seems the ZT will be more along the lines of the XM-24, which would be awesome. Can't wait to see the proto, and eventually get my hands on a production model.
Don't worry, I'm an expert at saying that things are moving slower than we would expect.
There will always be unexpected delays (and more of them than you would expect), even if you were diligent in accounting for every possible scenario.
This is just the way things run when you are making stuff. It is the reason Sal Glesser has stopped giving release dates for knives. Instead of telling us when a knife should be finished he just ships it and the announcement is made in dealer inventory lists.
That way we can't complain about a knife being late.
I'm not saying I would rather be kept in the dark, it is incredibly fun watching a knife develop from start to finish. Especially one as special as this.
