I must have the cf! Ive been wanting a m390 blade or something with cf scales. Knocks out two birds with one stone for me! Cant wait to see the final product.
 
Very nice. I'm much more interested in these that the Emerson collaboration models as I've never been a big fan of Emerson designs. I'm sure all will be great knives though. Just wondering how long the wait will be before these are released.
 
If they hold the specs and price point the 0562CF is going to be a HUGE success. M390 and CF for less $ than a plain 0560, it's going to sell like crazy!
 
This is a nice addition to the ZT line up to the Emerson collaborations. Looks like it's time to put money aside. Release dates?
 
Cant wait for these...my ZT Hinderer collection just keeps growing & growing:-)
 
There are a lot of sweet new offerings from KAI, but this one takes the cake. I love the chamfered edges on the handle, and the Ti lockside with steel insert, and the new pocket clip, and the KVT bearings. This is more money than I've yet spent on a knife, but I have a feeling that I'm going to buy one of these. On the plus side I'll have some time to save up for it!

This is actually going to be bigger than the 0566 no? I wish they made the 0566 in KVT :/

The 562 fits half way between the 566 and 560 in terms of blade length.

566 Specs:
Blade Length: 3.25 in. (8.25 cm)
Closed Length: 4.45 in. (11.3 cm)
Overall Length: 7.70 in. (19.6 cm)
Weight: 5.3 oz. (150.3 g)

562 Specs:
Blade Length: 3.5 in. (8.9 cm)
Closed Length: 4.8 in. (12.2 cm)

560 Specs:
Blade Length: 3.75 in. (9.5 cm)
Closed Length: 5 in. (12.7 cm)
Overall Length: 8.8 in. (22.4 cm)
Weight: 5.8 oz. (164.4 g)
 
Wow! Looks like I'll be buying my first ZT... just need to decide if Elmax & G10 works for me or if I should spring for CF/M390.
 
Since i can't purchase direct from RH. This 562 is a nice clone of RH knives. Going to get the G10 & CF version.

Hope they mill out the stainless steel liners on the 562 to keep the weight down.

The CF scale not 3D machine, the street price will be attractive
 
If they keep it as close to the prototype as possible and keep the price point $50-100 north of the 0566, it will be the best selling knife in ZT's lineup. I hope ZT is prepared to keep up with the demand, my guess is that they will not be able to make them fast enough. Just looking at the pictures of the 0562 has relegated my 0566 to red-headed stepchild status. Hope we don't have to wait as long on this one as we did for the 0566.
 
Amazing. My only gripe is that I wish they would have used polished hardware instead of the black coated clip/screws/pivot.
