What NEW Knives are coming for ZT in '09?

[Wavester]

Sorry if I missed a post about this somewhere - but I started a thread about what new Kershaw knives were coming in '09 - but are there any NEW ZT's coming in '09? Any new never-before-seen stuff? Any variants of current models? Anything getting discontinued..?

I believe there is a smaller 0300 in the works for 2009, but no other info that I have seen yet for it besides it will be about 3/4 the size of the current 0300 series.

Ironically, I actually hope it ends up being more like 85 - 90% size rather than 75% size - if you scale a knife down 25% it ends up being quite a bit smaller...

Even 10% smaller would be a huge difference in size and thickness.

I'd love to see the new knife have a 3.25 - 3.5" blade rather than the 3" blade that the 75% scale would suggest.

Thomas mentioned in the stickied thread at the top of the forum that the 3/4 is more of a general guide than a literal sizing.

I agree that 3" would be a bit to small but just a hair under 3.5" would be perfect and would open it up to more people due to some local knife laws.

The reason I would like to see a 3" blade is because of IL law. A 3.25" blade might slip under the radar, but 3.5" is a bit much.

3.5 is cool with me, anytime, any day. All that I have heard is about the new 0300.

thats a bummer i was hoping something along the lines of 110-115% bigger. The R.Hinderer xm-24 4.5'' seems tempting & creating a buzz, it will surely sell well, Extrema Ratio offers 4.5'' Nemesis/MPC...a ZT "0350" 4.0-4.5'' to go up against those would have been nice for 2009 too.
