After the release of the 0556, I'm super interested in these 2. Looks like a micarta folder add another auto??
 
Looks to me like a beef cake micarta and a integral auto slim to me.
 

I can't view FB. Been boycotting it & Meta for YEARS!!

Can you post pics of or a link to pics of them on a non-Meta/IG/TT or other unrestricted media site?

Looked but couldn't find anything about any new models for 2025 beyond the 0556 & 0004. 🤷‍♂️

Oh boy, my old favorite brand. I always get excited for new ZT releases, even tho the last few have been disappointing. I have no doubt they are still capable of making a good knife, I just hope it’s not a slim gentleman-carry office-type knife.

I guess we’ll find out Monday!

The blade jimping on the micarta looks similar to Chaves jimping. That could be very intriguing.
 
I've lost hope for ZT to return to its roots with bigass beefy, original designs. More than likely, these two new releases will be rebadged and slightly altered Kershaw models, like the last few ZT releases...The shadowy preview looks like a folding 0004....one can only hope...

512 looks alright.

Just what I was about to say.

Objectively, both of these new knives are so inoffensive and bland in design, they aren't exciting. However, the 0512 on its face at least has a materials roster that I like, so I may be in for one at some point.
 
I like both of them, but they aren't ZTs. More like Kershaw Elite or Kershaw Plus. Decent price though on the titanium + s45v + USA made knife. I'll drop that one in the "maybe" column.
 
So, were they released today?

If so, please post pics &/or links to UNRESTRICTED sites to view them. Thx! 😉
 
I ordered the 512, they refer to it as "overbuilt" in the video on ZTs
Website. If the lockup is a solid as the 556, I think I'll like it.
0044 is skim milk to me.
 
The 0512 looks nice. Hopefully it sells well enough that they'll offer it as a manual button lock down the road.
