Just saw this video in my feed on YouTube. Can't find any information on this one anywhere else, but based on what I'm seeing in this, I'm not a fan. Curious what everyone else thinks.
I'm currently carrying a Kershaw Knockout with M390 steel and carbon fiber scales with a subframe lock that I paid under $125 shipped for and I love it! And there's a 20CV Link that you can get for about $80! Those are some very nice knives, great designs, great values. This? Well, did I mention those other two are really nice?
Yeah, I genuinely like their Speedsafe system, but in 2020 I think it belongs on Kershaws, not ZTs. If this same knife came out with a KVT pivot and a ti framelock it still wouldn't particularly excite me, but I just wouldn't have anything to say about it. As is, I think it's directly competing with Kershaw offerings and, well, losing that competition.ZT needs to team up with a good designer, because when they design their own we end up getting a regurgitated design with a torsion bar.
Good designer? So Sinkevich, Hinderer, Emerson, Les George, Rexford are not good designers? Cuz from what I can tell from the knife community, those are some pretty big players...and all designers that ZT has worked with.ZT needs to team up with a good designer, because when they design their own we end up getting a regurgitated design with a torsion bar.

Then again, I don’t follow social media at all so I’m probably wrong...
