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.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.
Opinions vary.I mean the ZT0562CF Hinderer slicer is probably the best production knife in the world today, but I'm not paying $300+ for it...at least not right now.![]()
Um no. Much rather have a Spyderco Ikuchi or SpydieChef or heck an OpinalI mean the ZT0562CF Hinderer slicer is probably the best production knife in the world today, but I'm not paying $300+ for it...at least not right now.![]()
....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?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.
How did this get to three pages before I found it and put this troll on ignore?
And still no pictures......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.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.
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...If he doesn’t show up again, most likely we will see him with different nick name in few weeks, posting the same bs.
You can post pictures of your knives for starters.....Now, it that offends, 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…No, I'm still here, just talking knives.

Sounds good.

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.
