Oh, this is what this whole forum has become as of late, at least from what I've noticed. I love the soap operas that pop up around here. Made a chimichanga... waiting for more action.

Don't recommend anything to me, I don't need your recommendations. I took zero offense to anything said. Case and point, if he knew to quote, why didn't he? Moreover, I know sarcasm is a hard read sometimes, but the question was rhetorical.
It was a rhetorical question, genius (more sarcasm, JIC). Hence my sarcasm towards your reply, but that seems to allude your reading and comprehension level. You cannot make me look foolish, but I'm sure you'll have a try at it...
Furthermore, it's not quoting unless you use quotations. Also, take the time to read what you type, you sound uneducated. Go read some grammar books, AP, and MLA writing styles.

:applause: Yessssssss. I love it.
I haven't tried, but you certainly seem to have succeeded. What are you talking about?!? You quoted Charr...I don't see any quotations in that?
You are not making any sense at all.
No point even talking to you. By the way, we use the Chicago Manual and Garner's @ work and they are both right next to me, skippy.
Don't think I misunderstood anything. Guy asked a question. I answered. Guy flew off the handle.
Granted I don't follow that this quotation thing is all about, but I'm out.

You haven't tried what? To "recommend" something to me? I quoted you saying that...did you infer something wrongly? Go back and read, "skippy."
I'm done, as well

Firstly, your response to all of this has been unreasonably aggressive, and I was merely saying that it really isn't advisable to pick a fight with someone on here and start throwing personal insults out there like you're superior to all of us based on your own self-righteous and judgmental standards.
If there was a misunderstanding, then why would you not simply try and figure out where the misunderstanding happened, instead of just throwing semi-blind insults out there to people I assume you have never talked to before, for no real determinable reason other than to attempt to validate your own aggression.
Honestly, I am hopeful this is not how you act all of the time, since I have seen way too many people who do this on the forums in even my rather short run here so far, and it has ended the same for pretty much every single one of them.
I simply wanted to try and keep this from turning into a reason for you to get a strike, because I like it here and the people who frequent this forum, and I would like to see as many of them stay around as long as possible.
Secondly, the term you are using for "quoting" is not correct with the common rhetoric of this forum. What I did to your message (in tow parts here) is what we would call "quoting" someone's comment, so according to that definition, marcineck did in fact quote you.
While you are not technically wrong by saying that he didn't quote you in the sense of the traditional written English language, using quotation marks, he did "quote" you based on the terms we use here on the forums.
Just pointing out something that doesn't seem to be addressed here.
And lastly, there is no point in you attacking someone's intelligence when you know nothing about them. Frankly, there is no expected writing format to be used here, and some of the people on this forum don't even have English as their first language, so if you expect perfect grammar on an online forum, you should find somewhere else to waste time and throw your pointless and honestly rather pathetic insults.
I am pretty sure everyone here can agree they are not welcome here, and neither will you be if they continue.
And to be clear, that is not a threat of any kind, but a statement based on experience.

...really?
I mean, for all of your mention of proper writing format, and reading, I honestly thought you would at least have some form of retort. If you're going to attempt academic and intellectual insults, I would expect you to follow-up on them at least.
Sorry, but at this point all I can conclude is that you are a mediocre troll, so I will no longer be feeding you for this.
I had honestly hoped this could have ended better.

Personally, I don't care for the look of black/green, but I am glad that there are some who do like it, and will hopefully have a chance to get one.
However, I do feel that the quality delivered in the 0392 is superior and well worth the extra cost over the "standard" ZT offerings. This coming from someone who owns the original 0392 and has owned numerous other ZT's.

OK. I went back and glanced, because you keep using the quote function. I never said you quoted me, I was speaking of the other poster. I never questioned your ability to write a sentence, but I do question your ability to understand its context.
I was in no way aggressive, you obviously don't understand what that is either. Maybe my potentially curt response is too much for you; however, I certainly will not read that whole diatribe you typed, because it's boring.
The only reason I see you is, because you quote me, so please, just don't. I put you on ignore a long time ago.
Maybe ZT will see how lackadaisical their attempt at another - same old - LE is that forum members find other subjects to talk about.
Enjoy the day. For those who want this knife, I doubt you'll have any problems.

I honestly had a different experience with it. Though the 0392 I had (BWBRNZ) was a good knife, it still had the wonky grind towards the tip, and the rather overly-hard detent that I tend to not like on some of ZT's offerings.
I also felt that the knife wasn't as well-machined as it could have been for the money honestly. the hardware was all great, coming from Hinderer, but the cutout for the lockbar was very rough, to the point that it was sharp to the touch, and some of the finishing wasn't quite what I would expect for the money.
Hopefully that was only my experience, and honestly I would be glad if they generally do have better quality on the LE's. Might make me feel a little more inclined to get one in the future again.

Easy does it folks. There is no need for sarcasm, divisive replies, or anything else along those lines. There are a few people that need to learn to stop typing before they cross the line. We're all adults so let's start acting like it shall we? If you don't like the comments IGNORE them, period. It is really that simple.

I almost said something to the effect of "it's a good thing us knife people argue over the Internet instead of in person, given that we're all armed" but I don't think any of us would risk getting blood on our knives (or, heaven forbid, in our pivots or sheaths) because of how quickly it would start corroding the metals.
Anyway, back to discussing how much we don't like this new 0392 that will still sell out instantly!

I also had a very positive experience with mine (0392 BRNGLD)
No problems with the grind, centering, or any other functional issues . The detent is perfect, never too hard, a slight pull is enough to launch the blade everytime.
Mine don't have any rough edges, in fact that's the first thing I've noticed about the knife, how smooth it felt in my hand (not slippery though). I suspect it could be the thick PVD coating on them. I never handled the first 2 versions, but I think the coating made all the difference here.
I feel it's more than an equal to a real hinderer (definitely a better flipper) and the initial pricing is justified... Just my opinion (based on my experiences with other ZTs and hinderers)

And a good chunk of that sellout will get flipped!
Again, like I said earlier, that's why they don't make a "new" design...they know they will sell them all. (And could sell more if they made them.) Look at the "buzz" that announcing a release date caused here!
Its smart business...I don't blame them.
