Thomas, in your opinion, will these two new ZT's rival the success of the 0560 line? I know that knife has been an out of the park home run for you guys (I've got one, it's EXCELLENT). I know it's hard to say in the pre-production/production stages, but I'm sure you've probably had your hands all over the design of these new knives.
Bottom line: Is this something that is going to kick the 0560s out of our pockets? I'd imagine that's going to be an very difficult feat as many of us feel the 0560 is pretty much perfection. Honestly sometimes I feel like I could get rid of my whole knife collection and only keep the 0560, and that includes a very handsome lineup (Strider, CRK, ZT0302 and 0551, PM2, Tilt, Military, +more).
Talk to me, Scott....what's going out the door first? Lol.
Haha it ain't happening because I don't want to have to try and track down some of them again, but I feel like I could as far as functionality and comfort go.
it would probably take ZT coming out with a lightsaber for my 0560 to not ride in my pocket, lol.

Ha, I'm ahead of you by about a month. Knife collection? Gone, and I don't even have an 0560 yet.
K390 microclean?
Negative.Something tells me one is a fixed blade?
It's difficult to say, as design preferences are subjective. Knowing the popularity of Rick and his band of followers, it will be difficult for any ZT to overtake to 0560 as far as demand.Thomas, in your opinion, will these two new ZT's rival the success of the 0560 line?

These two will be pretty ba, with yet to be used exotic steel combined with the best materials and work we are capable of today. The crowd here will be at least happy with the effort.
We're always optimistic that the next tops the last, and we're putting everything into these two.
Both should be special in there own right, but I'm unsure if they can top the 0560 in popularity.
On a side note, we hope to be showing off a 0560 mutant that IMO will be in demand. Blade should be fun.
Both manual KVT...but we're off topic now arn't we?Will they feature KVT or Speedsafe?![]()
No, two new ZT designs, two new steels we've never used.
Negative, it's 2 new steels nobody has used, now can we stop with the guessing. It will all come out soon.For the heck of guessing, I am going to guess CPM-10V and CPM-M4. I am highly interested now!
Lol ok. But I now know what my dreams will be made up of for the next month! Guessing is just fun for the sake of wishing you knew.Negative, now can we stop with the guessing. It will all come out soon.![]()
