There are YouTube videos showing how to center the blade, don't go bending your lock bar! Search for "Blade Centering in YT.
There was one specifically on the 566 but I can't find it at the moment because "Blade Centering" isn't in the video title.

K I did a bit of searching and found this one but I'm sure there are others. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paRewmjnFl0

This helped some. It's better but still not perfect.

Thanks

My pleasure, I hope you get it all figured out.

I deassisted mine and then decided to remove the flipper and add a forward choil. Completely different knife than how it came and I love the way it turned out. Super smooth. Sort of like a thinner 0550 with a choil.

Thats a neat mod. Very cleanly executed, nice job!

That looks great. I'm jealous. 👍

Wow, that's gorgeous! Definitely adds a touch of class to that workhorse :thumbup:

Great... right when I thought I could start putting money to my Jeep instead of knife stuff. Well, looks like I'll be ordering a few things from him in the near future lol

Anyone pick up one of the new black-washed ZT 0566's?

If so, anyone have any pics?

BladeHq and knifecenter has them. I passed on it as I already have the regular version.

 

[cross1178]

The blackwash version makes me want to sell my regular and get one of those. Of course it's just a matter of time until the 0562 blackwash gets announced probably, then I'll want that one too. Damn you ZT!

I have one ordered from BHQ but have not yet received it. I also have the ZT0560BW, so will have sort of a matching pair. Love the 560 but find it a bit large for EDC so really looking forward to this more compact, and assisted version.

 

[LittlesumoAus]

Thanks for sharing the bronze hardware, looks great, will have to look into it for my ZT0560.

 

[Krissig12]

Mine should be here today. Super excited. 114 bucks shipped from the South American river retailer.
Not sure if I'll de assist or not..... I'll probably wait a while to see if I like it assisted

Please excuse my ignorance - I don´t own any ZT or Kershaw Knives. Being more a traditional kind o' knife guy - this ZT 0566 has caught my attention. There´s just one thing I´d like to know before finally thinking about getting one; what´s the grind on it? Flat or convexed?

This is an info I would appreciate to know and eventually make a decision.

 

[hfrog355]

It's a flat grind.
