New ZT0550!!!

[RevDevil]

That's cruel and unsual of you, Thomas!

I'm already contacting my regular dealers to see who is going to reserve one for me ASAP

PM me when you find someone that will be accepting preorders.

 

[RevDevil]

I know there will be a minimum of at least 2 variations. The ELMAX and the Vanax versions. After that who knows...

That's cool Thomas, thanks. Sorry for all the interrogation type questions, haha. It's just that this one is kind of a big deal to a lot of us.










*cough*S90V 2nd version*cough*

110V wouldn't be half bad either.

 

[Schuey2002]

Oh yea, Rick made a design change (Shhhh....it's a secret).

What?...I can't tell everything.

MSRP will be $250

I'm hoping he opted for a bigger pivot, but that seems unlikely.

My guess is he tweaked the choil. Maybe enlarging it??

 

[cziv]

What do you mean?

Sorry Thomas. What I meant (for me personally) the composites with the brassy color dividing lines, like the wavy JYD 2 and the Volt with the multiple racing stripes, look goofy on the blade. I like blades that are of one metal & finish top to bottom - end to end.

Maybe he added a flipper?

 

[Scott Neelan]

Maybe he added a flipper?

That would make this quite possibly the best production knife ever!

PM me when you find someone that will be accepting preorders.

I wouldn't mind a PM or e-mail if someone finds a good spot to pre-order either.

Ditto and ditto.

The ELMAX variation will incorporate a stonewashed finish, and a standard backspacer.

What's a standard backspacer? A pillar or a chunk of material? Thanks I'm "challenged" about some of these terms.

I'm guessing it means that it will be the same backspacer you see in the pictures without the glassbreaker. Pillars are standoffs and a backspacer is one solid piece of material.

 

[Bill86]

Let's hope its a bigger pivot. That would be epic.

Thanks Tony8179 ...

I don't get this remark that keeps coming up? Surely any knives made by Rick/ZT would have adequate pivots no? Do the "prototype" pictures portray something that I'm not seeing?

I hope that we're all happy, surprised in a good way and that there's enough for every member who wants one, to get one! :thumbup:

 

[Reeek]

PM me when you find someone that will be accepting preorders.

Will do . . .

 

[vpsaline]

Maybe he added a flipper?

Im hoping that's it! But that would seem like a radical change, cause that one change might require a ton of other changes, like changing the pivot location and stuff, which affects the entire knife.

 

[MoreToasties]

Thomas, you caused this.

Now no one knows what's up.

Asshole

 

[RepEvox]

I want in on the notification!

 

[rippit]

I also hope he added a flipper, and I agree, That would make this the best production knife ever.


please please make it a flipper

 

[Tony8179]

Nice. I'm on a pre-order list.

I was told by this dealer that I can tell some folks through PM about this pre-order list. I'm not going through this entire thread to look for members who want in on a pre-order so if you're interested PM me and I'll give you the contact info for the dealer.

Plus, don't make me look like an ass. If you pre-order through this dealer stick with the pre-order and pay when it comes time.

 

[Thomas W]

It's not a flipper.

I have no PMs yet....
I guess we can always wait for Kershawguy to make an announcement, works for me

A beefier pivot is ok just as long as it doesn't have that nut. That looks so unfinished to me. I'm fine with what it has on it now. I also don't mind the composite blade personally. Everyone has their opinion of what looks good and I think the Volt looks amazing. I am confident in the CB strength and think it looks very modern and advanced or 'elite' or something. At it's current size it is a medium sized knife and looks to be proportional. I don't think it needs to be turned into a pry bar. Slicers work best for 95% of what a knife should be asked to do.
