Which of the Brand New ZT Folder Models (0566, 0770 & 0801) will you get this year?

[Rival1314]

Have the 0566 on preorder. Have no interest in the 770....aluminum handles are a huge turnoff for me.

Im not going to order a 801 yet...i like knives I can customize....perhaps some souls will allow me to dip, stonewash, or flame anodize theirs

566 on the way.

You know you want someone to send you a 770 for scales

Man, RamZar you are a poll fiend

True that...

I think that, within various inherent limitations, they give some valuable insights especially when you look at ALL three polls combined that I started since May 1st:

1. Your favorite Zero Tolerance folder?
2. ZT Folders You Currently Own
3. Which Brand New ZT Folder Models (non-LE) will you get this year?

Of course, I wish I knew all the various model numbers more accurately beforehand for even better results.

hmmmm, I thought the 0770 would've been more popular

It would be, but lots of people (including myself) are not real impressed with the aluminum handle.

hmmm, I didn't know that. I for one prefer a metal handle, as long as it's not steel. (to effing heavy)

The aluminum handle on my 0350GRN is great. Personally, I much prefer it over the G10 version.

IME anodized aluminum gets scratched up too easily.

I just cancelled my pre order for the 0801, I just have a feeling they are shipping soon and between the puppy and unexpectedly actually getting a cbcf The funds just aren't there right now. Definitely plan to get one later in the year when I can afford it though.

True but personally I like the feel of an aluminum grip over G10 in my hand. Like in tennis some players like real sticky grips whereas others like it dry and smooth. It's all so subjective.

I love the way a fresh anodized aluminum handles feels, no doubt. I just don't like the way they wear.

Same. Like on my Benchmade 940 knives. I stopped carrying them due to wear. So far, without high mileage, my ZT 0350GRN and LionSteel SR-1A with aluminum handles seem to be doing much better. Time will tell.

 

[jhyde7585]

0801 for sure

 

[netidolweb]

Have pre-ordered the 0566 & 0801

 

[scottabrandeberry]

Going to get all three! Maybe even blem duplicates!

 

[banana-clip]

0566.

 

[1SHOT1KILL]

Already put my preorder in on an 801

I find kershaws anodizing is pretty resistant. My blur only has little knicks, but I keep my keys in the same pocket, so that doesn't help it.
