Zero Tolerance 0770CF

At this point in my knife collecting, I'm not really looking for A/O knives as they don't appeal to me, but I understand the decision to use them in a wider variety of knives. I know the quality and F&F is always there and present, but a manual knife feels like a higher quality piece than an A/O knife, to me.

But what if you bought a Ken onion custom?
Technically the speedsafe was only featured on a high end custom at first, i like to think of assisted opening as a step up from a bearing system
 
Bearings are easier usually and open as fast as AO often. For little knives non-AO would be a hassle id think.

The 0770 is going to be a smooth knife, just look at it.
 
Got one on pre-order with BladeHQ. I think it's gonna be a big seller for KAI considering what you get for your money. Bonus if it can be de-assisted.

Bearings were first used in customs too. Just saying.

I know, when say step up, i mean literally getting the intended task completed, in this case getting the knife deployed faster than bearings (if in the same price range, obviously a tac force wont fly out faster than an RJ martin)
I don't understand why quality in the pivot seems to translate mostly into how smooth it is, When it comes specifically to flippers, i think that Ken Onions speedsafe is the greatest inovation and the best way to go.
For a flipper, i don't see why it matters if i can blow the knife closed, for use, the A/O>manual.... A/O<Automatic

But i do admit grace wise and prestigewise bearings sound and feel better, bit i am speaking purely on the intended purpose, which is to open the blade
This is my opinion, back to the OP :o yes the 0770 is well worth the wait, especially if you compare it to the wait the select few lucky sob's who pre ordered the 0777
Poolhustler :grumpy: lol jk, just don't rub it in and brig back you avatar with your two 0777 :)

Why can't there be more hot introductions in high-end steels and scales costing less than $180?

If you don't mind me answering Mr hank rearden, IMO it's because you don't sell any more quantity at $180 vs.say $350. If you're putting forth the effort, best to max out the time. As far as work, it's pretty much a wash at either price point, thus the limited selections at the "lower" price point.

So, how much more time is it going to take to get those 0770s out the door?
