I searched and couldn't find but a few threads talking about specific collabs, so just out of curiosity, who would you love to see work with ZT on a collaborative knife?

I'm a huge Galyean fan and with him working at KAI, I've always wanted to see ZT's version of a JYD (it could be Tank-themed instead of jet-themed if they wanted to differentiate). I'm also a Gerry McGinnis fan and like the few CRKT knives he's inspired - I think it would be a cool team-up with ZT for one of his flippers.

I'd love to see another Ken Onion collaboration or a RJ Martin ZT, but I'd really love to see a Strider collaboration (despite the issues I and many others have with Mick personally - I'd love to see ZT's take on the SNG/SMF after seeing what Buck was able to do).

Who would you love to see team up with KAI on a ZT project? Any specific custom or mid-tech models that you would love to see ZT take a crack at?
 
This seems so obvious that it's probably silly to even mention it, but I'd like to see a ZT version of the 3" Hinderer XM flipper using the same materials as the 0560 and no AO.
 
I would like to see what either Mike Snody or Jason Brous would do with the backing of ZT:-)
 
I want to see a ZT/Anso Collaboration.
Maybe a ZT version of the Zero with a s110v blade?
Or the Test Lab Outbreak.

Another one I would love to see would be a ZT/Anso/Burnley Tera.

Honestly, they can do whatever knife of Jens' that they want, but I want an Anso/ZT collab.
 
I'd like to see a smaller ZT (0350, 0566 size) that has a 3D machined handle like the 030X and 0560/1. I'd prefer steel framelock/G10 to keep price low.
 
CRK maybe?
Or bring in Grant and Gavin Hawk again, and make something completely awesome.
 
OR, a McHenry & William collab
Allen Elishewit
Brad Southard
Todd Rexford (I know about the injection, but I want a ZT Rexford)
 
ZT + Dalibor Bergam = WIN EVERYTHING.

I was thinking this too. I love my spyderco Zulu

Something like that with a little thicker blade in a titanium framelock. With titanium liner and standoffs.
 
Southard, Begg, Emerson and more with Hinderer pluss cool inhouse designs should keep me collecting for years to come. Not knowing is part of the fun. Oh and yes, Rexford too.
 
I would also love to see another Hinderer collab. A Begg one would be awesome too.
 
I would also like to see a hinderer/bob lum colab. Mini onslaught blade that's thicker and made of Elmax steel. 560/566 handle sizes but with 3d machined titanium framelock with a steel overlay on the lock like on the spyderco tuff. Titanium liner and standoffs. Equal blade heaven.
