I'm just hoping these things are released in enough numbers that everyone who want's one will be able to purchase one. I'd hate to see a repeat of the 0551 fiasco with people scrambling to try to find one at the last minute.

Hold on now, I don't really feel it's fair to categorize the 0551 like this.

We opted to bring out the 0551 because of steel delay on the 0550. We didn't have to, but felt it to be the right thing to do based on some of the enthusiasm the design gained. There was no fiasco as far as I'm concerned. There were no promises made about the 0551 being anything other than a L.E. of which we produced 500 more pieces than we promised. The 0551 was intended to satisfy until we could get steel for the 0550, and that is exactly what it did.

thomas don't misunderstand me I wasn't speaking on the 551, I was just speaking in generalities about many companies in the knife biz
 
So what your saying is that you have already gotten the steel for the flipper and there isn't going to be a limited run? :p I kinda liked the hustle for the 0551, but im sure that's prob just me :D
 
Well, now i'm fully on the bandwagon. I liked it better when i didnt know who ZT was. Then I didnt have to buy them. Damn you Bladeforums!!!

Well, with the number of views and posts in this thread, I don't think too many people will have the excuse that they didn't know about it.

As far as secrecy goes, I can't think of many companies that will show you the entire process of creating a new product while it is actually being developed.
Thank you Thomas!
 
When it comes to these high end pieces, manufacturers are never going to over produce. There is too much time, efforts, and costs associated with them. Brands are never sure where the ceiling is with these high dollar projects, so limited is the only route to travel.

If one them flips your switch, keep an eye out, and look to pull the trigger quick with these short runs, seems they only get more pricey as time goes on.
 
well I for one am not letting this slip through my fingers, I mean how could it with those wicked grips?
 
Thomas W

Are you saying this flipper will be a limited production run? If so, how many are you projecting?
