Will ZT have a new version of the 56x knife at SHOT next month?

[PC87]

Didn't ZT already use that in a ridiculously overpriced piece?

Not sure about them using maxamet.

Not sure about them using maxamet.

Several years ago it was $500 brand new.

Versus spyderco which is offering some pieces now at less than $200 in full production models.

Yeah not interested in a pretty, overpriced piece, just a good working knife.

Choil, FFG maybe, knock down the shiny blade and a useable thumb stud, current steel would be more than adequate.

Maxamet is not cheap. Spyderco Manix 2 FRCP in S110V is $113.97 but in Maxamet it's $161.97!

ZT 0888MAX was a low quantity limited edition from two years ago.

Just put out a new model that is five ounces or less, and I'd be a new fan.

 

[Glenn056]

Isn't that the new fangled steel that's out these days? Maybe I spelled that wrong?

Currently, ZT has the 0450, 0808 and 0900 series all at under 5 ounces but they're smaller folders.

I wouldn't mind a full Ti 562. Whatever steel is fine.

 

[RamZar]

Theres Zar, RZ what do you think about a new version of a 56x?

A Mini 0562 with a 3" blade and an all titanium 0562 would be great but I doubt it. 0566 is small but it has a 3.25" blade and being all stainless steel frame lock unnecessarily heavy.

ZT did release the 0562ORBLK (CTS-204P Tungsten DLC & Orange G-10) Sprint Run very recently and it's still available at many dealers.

And the ZT 0452CF clocks in at a svelt 4.6 oz, and that's with a giant 4" blade on it.

Yes. Good catch. How could I miss that! 0452CF is a direct result of the 0454 limited edition.

First of all is there any evidence of a new 056x? I would like to see a spanto grind.

Secondly while I love my other ZTs the 0452 is such a great knife. It shows what a super strong knife can be without being an overbuilt brick.

If this is a wish list then I want to put in for a ZT0550 redone as the ZT0555 with a flipper tab and thumb studs!

 

[jstn]

I would love a larger version of the 0900. Exact same knife, just scaled up. 3.25 or maybe 3.5 inch blade, a bit larger handle to accommodate. Basically a ZT version of the Les George VECP, wit ha flipper tab. I would be all over that.

That looks pretty amazing

Isn't the ZT 0909 already a ZT VECP

 

[halden.doerge]

No, it's actually based on the Talos.

 

[jstn]

Isn't the ZT 0909 already a ZT VECP

Nope, VECP is full Ti and a framelock; the 0909 is G10 and linerlock.

0900 is like ESV and ESV is an Extra Small VECP.

0909 is like Talos and somewhat different than VECP.

Perhaps we'll see a ZT version of VECP with full titanium frame lock and flipper.

Yes. This.
