I know folks are probably tired of seeing new pictures of the ZT0777. Yes, its not fashionable to be late to this party, but I promise I'll be on top of things and be early for the festivities when Mama Bear 888Max has her coming out party later this year.

Gotta say, F&F on this knife is one of the best I've ever seen on a production knife. Flips open like a dream, better than my TiLT. Glides closed like a drop of water gliding down the arched back of a beautiful Brazilian model. Lock up is so rock solid that it makes you wonder why so many knifemakers out there can't seem to achieve the same thing.

Did want to mention that a lot of folks are saying that they though KAI scrapped the copper braising line, and I acutally thought that was the case when I saw other pictures, but mine is pretty visible, as seen in the last picture.

Anyhow, for those who aren't burnt out on seeing a beautiful knife or two. Here ya go:

I don't want to tell anyone what they should or shouldn't do, but if there is anyone out there who REALLY wanted one, but then started to reconsider...........don't. This is an incredible specimen of knifemaking art and I don't think you will have any regrets. I don't.
 
Nice group of knives you got there. You're missing a Speedform. :)

I can't wait to get my 0777....hopefully Dave didn't lose my pre-order or kick me off the list for not sending him enough licorice. :D
 
Yup. That one of the next two on my list...........the Speedform I and the Ti/ZDP-189 Leek.

There's a Ti Leek on the bay right now, but the seller is asking WAY too much for it, at least compared to prices I've recently seen.

Hope yours comes in soon. Its incredible.

I've been wanting one of those Ti/ZDP Leeks for a while, but that's a bit much!
