This ZT 0562CF is a in great shape, locks up solid and is dead centered.
I swapped out the original bearings for ceramic bearings (in actual metal cages) and the action is slightly improved. original bearings are in great shape (I just wanted something guaranteed corrosion proof). I cleaned up the slightest amount of corrosion on the liner and waxed and oiled the liner on reassembly. I think this knife now is as corrosion resistant as it can be made!
I did sharpen out the 'beard' at the heel of the blade so the edge goes all the way to the choil, to prevent it becoming a recurve. This leaves a little stone witness in the choil but it has a full edge now. And it is freaking sharp!
All scales and clip and blade are basically mint, no scratches or dings.
I am looking for:
Spyderco Swayback (I can add a little $)
Ace Sonoma
Benchmade Anthem (will add $$)
Others?
And did I mention it is SHARP?
