I like the idea of the 0566 but would rather have the 0561 first and see if I need to fill the gap. Right now I have a 0350 and 0200. For me, the 0801 sings to me the loudest. Like others, not sure about the aluminum handle on the 0770. I don't have any experience with Ti handled folders, how will the Ti on the 0801 wear?

Ti tends to wear pretty well, plus its easy to stonewash, and cheap to have anodized if that's your thing.
 
But isn't the ti carbidized? And doesn't that make the Ti harder than steel? So its actually the steel wearing, not the Ti?
 
I will be giving the 566 a shot I don't do a lot of rotating but I am looking forward to this knife.
 
I'm pretty sure the 0566 is going to be a fairly big seller, judging by the rampant success of the 0560. I think I'll pick one up at some point if their price is reasonable (and it looks like it should be). I like the design of the 0770 but the scales turn me off (is that Al?). The 0801 is just hideous to me, not sure what's wrong with me but it's not clicking...

I agree that the 0566 has the potential of being the top seller for ZT. MSRP is $180 with a MAP of $144.

I'm surprised how so many dislike aluminum handles!

I disagree with you on the 0801. I think in person it'll look great. Always liked all titanium handles even though it becomes heavier.
 
Only 24% of voters have picked the 0770 so far!

Is it because they're hoping for a 0777 and / or not impressed with the 0770's aluminum handle?
 
On Sunday I emailed KAI Sales Department asking the following:

When will the new folders below be released?
0566
0770
0801

Am i the only one that wishes they would have left the awesome shiny pivot on the 0801 like on the prototype? That really caught my attention.. but now its that boring black, normal looking one.

Dont get me wrong, im still buying one, but i would have love it that tiny bit more...
