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

I'm so stoked about this knife I've been following the thread. Can't wait to get on the pre-order for this one!! I'm ok with s30v but I'm hoping for something maybe a little better.
 
Wow, looks great! Just hope the texturing doesn't add too much to the price;) I'll probably still get one anyway lol
 
Are you KIDDING ME! :eek:

Thomas, dude, ZT is going to take the production world by storm! HOLY MOLY!

Thank you!

with rick as a designer it's gotta be better than s30v. I'm leaning towards vanax but the 551 is is vanax 35, so I would think they might go one more step up the awesome ladder but what that step would be I don't know.

I'm telling you most peeps (not calling you out here Starwolf) don't even understand/recognize extensive machining on a part, let alone wanting to pay a premium for 3-D. They just keep asking, "Why so expensive"?

What the heck, we'll do it anyway...
 
That's the Spirit!

It looks like a big folder shaping up. Call me crazy but that dimpled shiny finish would looks so much nicer (to me) if it was flat stonewashed. I still want one though! ;)

That's really the only big, unanswered question remaining now isn't it? We've seen the graphics, blades, scales and frame. It doesn't take much imagination to put them all together and have a pretty good picture of the finished product.

I have to believe it's going to be something reasonably good whatever they decide on. Why go outside the box to make something this cool only to saddle it with mediocre steel?

Whaddaya mean? You guys don't want a pot metal blade in this one? I've been lobbying for an aluminum blade myself..... It'd be nice and light!! ;)

the only way this knife could be more awesome is if it were multicam.(yes I'm a multicam whore:p)

be careful Jimmer, I don't want to step in and protect you here, do the words flash mob mean anything to you ?
 
Okay, these look great!
I was really hoping for a smooth lock-side like the 551, in order not to SHRED the pockets like my 301, but the texturing is certainly not a deal breaker.
Plus, it is so damned pretty!

Thanks Thomas & Rick!

Cannot wait for BLADE!!!

BUT: those are not your 'peeps',Thomas!
They will step out of the shower to pee.
Or borrow their wives' panties.
Or watch those Royals get wed.

:jerkit:

Or insist all their knives have a hole in the blade.

Woohoo! Glad i waited!!!!!!!!! Now that money goes in a can til the ZT flipper comes out!

How rough is that texturing? Is it going to tear up the pocket?

I don't think the texture is going to be a pocket eater - it's grippy but not sharp.

With all the talk of lifting skirts around here, I don't want to find out what a "flash mob" is.... if it's anything like what it sounds like, it could be very awkward!
 
I'd be willing to bet that the texture will get bead blasted (and I am hoping for an all black version!).
