Zero Tolerance 0095BW handle variations

[goddardm]

Just wondering about differences in design I've noticed on the ZT0095BW Ti handles ... I've seen 2 different examples. One has "smooth bevels" on the handle, the other has "ribbed (or 'coin ridged') bevels". Is that an intentional update in design for newer models, or is that indicative of more clones making their way into the mass-market?

I believe it was an intentional design change. It changed around the same time they changed the 0220's back spacer from orange to black.

There were a few small design changes to ZT models, the 0095 texturing started showing up sometime last year. No reasons why, but they look really nice. If you are buying from a trusted dealer you should not have to worry about clones.

At some point last year ZT changed the handle on the 0095BW to add some texturing around the edges. 0095S90BLK also has that texturing. The original 0095BW (or 0095/0095AN) was smooth and did not have that texturing.
