Like most all my modded knives, save for the most minor hardware changes and scale installation, I can't claim any expertise or hands-on creation for this one. My involvement was only the luck to find and the ability to purchase. The 801 is a great platform for modding and this one was subbed out by the previous owner who got the custom pivot from one source and then had the anodizing and sanding done by a German modder. This knife has become a drawer queen as its Ti bolsters scratch so easily. The last time I carried it I spent an entire evening re-sanding the handle slabs to remove all the fine scratches from a day's use. Bit-by-bit I've been selling off most of my queens, but this is one of those that will likely stay with me.
I'm not the biggest fan of ZTs, and one of the things that bothers me is that their blades are like billboards with all the text on them. I like that there's nothing left here but the serial #.
