The ZT0770 has withstood the course of time and is still an EDC stalwart...

Kershaw/ZT really need to reintroduce some of their assisted knives with KVT bearings. The 0770cf, 0350, 0357, leek, link, knockout, blur and a few others would benefit greatly from it.

Who am I kidding though….KAI won’t do it. I feel ZT as a brand has just stagnated for the last few years. Sad really.
The 0770 and 0350 can flip pretty well without torsion bar. Not as good as bearings, but not bad either. But you’re right, it’s not 2014 anymore, they should definitely put bearings in more of their premium models, and definitely the 0357!…. As far as the 0770 vs the Barenuckle, I would give the slight advantage to the 0770. It’s a little beefier, and I trust the liner lock way more than that sub-frame lock on the barenuckle. The barenuckle is still a great knife (and maybe even more slicey than the 0770), I just don’t trust those sub frame locks 100% after a bad experience with a Natrix.
 
OP blows in here full of hot wind standing on a hill he has no business being on (doesn’t own the knife), then proceeds to “well, that’s like, your opinion, man” everybody? LMAO.🤣

Was thinking Lasador right off the bat, but I’m pretty sure it’s just a trolling Gen Z’er.

My opinion of ZTs is that they’re pretty nice Kershaws, and that’s about it. Except for a very select few. They’re all very “cookie cutter” and the numbers as names instantly has me losing track and interest.
 
I’ll dispute it. ZT as a whole is to big and bulky for EDC for me. They have a couple models that are on the line as far as size but not enough to buy them. Plus they are overpriced
 
I mean, we could debate it, but I just think that price aside, the 0770 is one of the best. I don't have one, but I have handled one before, so I know it when I see it! My EDC right now is the Spyderco Para 3 SPY27 steel.
....you don't have one but you started a thread saying it's one of the best and has withstood the test of time, even though it hasn't really been out that long in comparison to a lot of other designs? Do I have that right?
 
So much irony. The model from the title can be replaced with any traditional like folder or any old model that are still in production.

Want hot take? You should use 420ss, it is the most combat proven steel therefore the best!
They were the most wide use for military contract around the world ;);).
 
How did this get to three pages before I found it and put this troll on ignore?

OP hasn't been online for a couple of days now. It's unlikely we will see him back in this thread with several people calling him out on his "questionable" motives and comments.

If he doesn’t show up again, most likely we will see him with different nick name in few weeks, posting the same bs.

No, I'm still here, just talking knives. The last issue we were discussing was if there is a better production knife than the ZT0562 Hinderer Slicer, then what do you think it is? There is no wrong or right answer, of course. One man's burger is another man's steak. Now, it that offends you, I don't know what else I can do for you...

Well, we really didn’t discuss anything, because it was a pointless conversation, that’s why I didn’t give you any examples to discus, I was clear on this in my previous posts.Why ? Because whatever I would offer as alternative to the562, would be better by my standards and not yours, and I simply don’t want to repeat myself in such conversation… As example, the simple fact that 620 have wave, for me, puts it above 562. Any AO model to me would be better but not for you…
in this regard, as I already mentioned, a conversation with you would be waste of time. Your answer was dumb:you offered me a breathing lesson…
‘So, no, I’m not offended in any way, believe me. Just don’t want to discuss hypothetical qualities of knives we both don’t own, simple as this.

Sounds good. Peace.
 
Anybody got one of those terrible, overhyped, non-stalwart, way overpriced ZT0770 that they want to sell at a price that is indicative of the way this knife has been described? I figure I can get one for peanuts here.
 
Just added the OP to my "Ignore List."

Now I can enjoy listening to "The Sounds of Silence."


I think the lyrics are an apt conclusion to this thread. ;)

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
No one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

"Fools" said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming

And the sign said, "The words of the prophets
Are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sounds of silence
