Too big, too strong, too hard...

Some of us can spot RJ's design queue's easily. Thomas had us going for a while, I still contend the title of the thread was a dead giveaway. I wonder how hard the flipper action will actually be, maybe people will complain its not strong enough, that would be funny.

With most previous ZT's they were normally dark, or all black, its nice that this knife will shine a little light as a classy hard use flipper.
 
Stayed away from this thread for 3 days and look what happened... Awesome stuff Thomas! Saving up for the LE, RJ and the yet to be released/finalized one. It's getting expensive to be a fanatic fan.:rolleyes:

I know, I'm kicking myself for missing the thumb ramp and lack of thumb studs in the Groove style. Took me a minute to spot that.

I hope Thomas is happy that this one has an integral blade stop instead of external ones people mistake for thumb studs. Hopefully it cuts down on the bitching as well!

Well certainly this is quite confusing for some. It should hopefully keep that subject/controversy at bay. :)

I know the pics are just a prototype, will the production version be reversible tip up and down or will it be tip up only?

It will be as you see it.

Then can we get a picture of the lock bar side of the pivot? I see it won't be 4-way positionable but I can still hold out hope for 3-way.
 
My 551's, 561, and Tilt! all came 'off the shelf' from a local vendor - I'll continue that process lest this new knife become a 'perpetual conceptual', a la the 777. Sixteen pages in a couple of days... wow! Is this the Busse site? A little chum from T. W. - instant feeding frenzy!

Sorry no three ways for this knife (don't read into that wrong). The clip will be two positions - tip up, right or left hand carry.
