Going by the pics ive seen id pick the 0801cf ........the copper makes it out of this world beautiful!!!!!!
 
I'd like to make another personal observation. I think the smartest marketing move was changing the scales on the 0770 from aluminum to carbon fiber. There should be an internal ZT award for that. :)

+1 The 0770 with black aluminum scales didn't really catch my attention. It looked kinda boring. But with CF AND that shiny pivot: :thumbup:

I would change that pocket clip though. Looks cheap.
 
Oh that's a tough one, but I gotta go with the 0801CF for a couple of reasons. M390 blade. I've never owned a knife in that steel. Dat TI color. Wow! Just a great looking package all around!

Second would have to be the 0454. It's slim, elegant, and of course three piece CB! It was a close contender for first, no question.

Third would be the 0770. The change from aluminum handle to CF is just wonderful. That was the only thing I didn't like about it, and now that it's fixed, I can see this one getting a LOT of pocket time!

I can't leave the BW knives (especially the 0300) out, because the new finish really mimics an extreme acid/stonewash, which is one of my favorite looks. The TI lockside is particularly killer, I'll definitely be picking one up!

Another great lateral move there by ZT.

Some pictures from the Blade 2013 thread! (KAI related) of the Black Washed knives which look awesome -- both the blade and titanium handle side:

Wow, that's a toss-up! The 454 looks amazing, but who can deny the 801CF? I think that if I had to choose it would have to be the 454 due to the fact that it is very unique with regards to the other knives in the ZT catalog. It's a new direction and I like where they're going with it.
 
If I had to give up my pre-order of the 0888 I have right now to get in on a 0801CF........I would. That thing is just down right SEXY! :D
 
801cf, no question. Its absolutely stunning, honestly stunning. the 770 will be my new small user, but that 801 will be a dress knife, a discussion piece and kind of a grail knife for me
 
Had to go with the 0801CF! The 0454 is still growing on me, don't get me wrong its an amazing engineering feat but I'm still getting used to the looks. Must admit I liked it better with the blade entirely stonewashed. The 0801CF was LOVE at first sight though!
 
Sounds like the 0770 with the CF scales will be 0770CF after all with a MSRP of $220. The 0770 with aluminum scales had a MSRP of $180. That's a modest increase for the better-looking and more expensive CF scales.

As stated previously by KAI personnel the BW versions of 0560 and 0300 cost the same as the non-BW ones.


Per KAI's Jimmer_5:

ZT 0454 - Limited Edition, production total is not finalized, MSRP: $500-$550

ZT 0801CF - Limited Edition, production total is not finalized, MSRP: $400
(Standard regular production 0801 $240 MSRP)

ZT 0770CF - Regular production, $220 MSRP

ZT 0560BW - Regular production, $325 MSRP

ZT 0300BW - Regular production, $340 MSRP
 
Um, I held them all. Many times.

This one.
