So who has the new 0801 in black? I'm thinking of getting one soon

[Krissig12]

Well, I made it a few weeks without buying any knives.......

But now the urge is back, and I'm thinking my next purchase will be a ZT 0801. I like the original 0801, but the all black one just looks so sick! Anybody have one that would like to share some pics? How does the black finish look in person? Should I pay the little bit extra for it, or just grab an original 0801? I guess I'm really just deciding between which one LOOKS better, because the price is pretty close. So which do YOU like more?

KershawGuy has the ZT 0801BLK for $168.00 shipped!

I like all the ZT 0801 series. As a matter of fact, I should have all of them by end of day tomorrow.

Congrats! You're very lucky

I was actually looking to get it at GPKNIVES. Same price as Kershaw Guy, so I guess either would work

So is the blackwash thing a sort of "used look?" Like ripped designer jeans or purposely styled bedhead hair? It looks kinda cool, just wondering if that's the intent here.

Yes. Kind of like a used and "well-worn" look.

I generally cant stand a black coating, but the blackwash is pretty nice.

 

[Krissig12]

Dammit! I thought i had scratched the blackwashed 0801 off my list of possibilities, but now Im seriously reconsidering.....

Hmm. How nice does it look in real life? Better than the solid black?

Congrats!

I got mine today and it's the grippiest of all the ZT 0801 series. It has an almost matte finish and mine is not as black as others.

Cool. So you like it then?

And how does it flip? Does the coating have any negative effects on smoothness? Probably a stupid question because of the bearing system, but I still figured I would ask
