With all the new ZT's this year I was wondering what is your favorite one?
Because the designs by Emerson are amazing, and a few Hinderers to;)
Let me know in the comments!
My favorite is the 0562CF, The carbon fiber looks amazing
 
When I get the money, I will definitely be getting one of the Emersons. An Emerson with ZT quality is too good to pass up. I am also interested in the 562, though. Anything with KVT piques my interest.
 
I went with the 0620cf because I take my knives apart to tweak and clean, and that KVT system is honestly overly complicated. I love the look of both knives, however. I would just like to own a tanto EDC for once.

What makes you think the KVT system is overly complicated? You really treat it like washers, except you don't polish them.

It's the bearing system, right? I don't want to worry about them going all over the place. Ball bearings desperately want to escape our grasp.

Edit: Got it confused with other bearing systems. Seems alright, but still on the fence about it.
 
I am very interested in the Emerson ZT collabs, but to be honest with all of the knives I've owned I have never owned a Kershaw and every time one catches my eye I seem to forget about it. Tons of Spydies, tons of Benchmades, some Emersons, a Sebenza, a Strider, Cold Steel, and on and on... And not a single Kershaw yet.

I really need to get on it one of these days (if it doesn't slip my mind again). The Emerson ZT would be a good way to get started if I don't get my attention pulled elsewhere. Maybe I have some form of ADD that only applies to knives?
 
Looking forward to both the regular and CF 0562 as well. There are also one or two of the Emerson models that actually got me curious (I'm not really a fan of real Emersons). I also like the two new tomahawks - the ZT0102 and Kershaw Siege Tomahawk (Model 1073), and the fixed blade ZT0180.
 
I may be crazy, but I think the emerson wave on any knife is ugly. The new cf 0562 is freakin sweet tho.
 
I'll be after a 0180 fixed blade. My wife and I each have a 0160, which is the knife that turned me on to ZT in the first place.
 
0562 for me. Not really a carbon fiber guy, so the regular G10 model works for me. Slicer grind coupled with that handle...perfect! Probably as close to an XM as I'll ever get.
 
They are all awesome, I got a 0801CF on the way. Great year for ZT. I paid up for it a little ($375) but I don't care, had to have it. which I could get a 562 and 620 too but cant by every great knife that comes out. This will be the 3rd member of my ZT family, along with my 551 and 350TS. ZT was already becoming one of my favorites and the new 2014 line up makes it even more the case.
 
I believe that I would need the knives in my hand to give you an honest answer.The best looking knife that I will hopefully acquire in 2014 is the 0454.
 
I have the 0770CF, am getting a 0562CF and a 0454 too.

The 454 reminds me of a WWI battleship disguise paint scheme. :)

I'd like a 180 and a 620CF myself, and also the tomahawk.... But the price tag for the hawk is a little much for me. Maybe I'll get the cheaper Kershaw hawk.
 
The 0562CF is at the top of my wish list. That Hinderer fixed blade looks pretty nice too. And that Hawk is just badass.
 
Haha I definitely want the Emerson's, and the 0801CF, and the 0770CF. But I have to choose one since I'm getting a Sebenza too this summer...it'll probably be the 0801CF and probably an Emerson too. I'm just gonna be honest with myself I can't only get two knives this summer
