Zero Tolerance 560, Pictures and First Impression

I know that srKnives has 3 or 4 left. They are charging higher then most places and if you were to get it to the USA it would probably be north of $400. I got an okay price since I've bought about 10+ knives there in the past months. Just a FYI. I'm not sure how accurate the information I was told is, but they said there were only about 200 made so far. Maybe 200 made for Canada? I'm guessing they've made many more then that so far.
 
I hope mine arrive soon also! I got my preorders in pretty late so it's unlikely, but I can hope. Any news if the 0561 is shipping also? I guess no point really in asking as if it was someone would post that, but I want to know!!

Hate to ask but is that a scratch on the blade? Also, is the blade really sharp? How about more details. Any rough edges? Everything on scales and lock side radiused and smooth? Blade centering?

That sort of info plz. :)

I didn't notice the scratch until later, doesn't bother me. The blade is very sharp, and they did a great job sharpening it at the factory. The G10 and titanium are smooth and have no rough edges that I could find. Blade is perfectly centered and locks up tight.

One thing I did notice, when the blade is open the titanium corner does dig into my index finger a bit. Not a big deal but thought I'd mention it. I attached a picture to show what I'm talking about.

I'm still amazed at how light this knife is for the size, and just how well it fits in the hand. Definitely worth the wait. Here it is finally united with little brother. I'm terrible with photography:

Like I said, I'm an atrocious photographer, so it's best to look at other pictures for scale, but in my opinion the 0550 has just a hint of recurve whereas the 0560 is straight. Here's the whole family:

I pulled my XM-18 out of my pocket to compare and I figure it's radiused a bit deeper and also the 3D checkered lockbar area might not be as simple to smooth out as a flat slab of Ti, like the XM-18 has. Thanks for all the answers and enjoy your new ZT0560 too solid! :)
 
Thanks buddy! I work 15 minutes from srknives. I just stopped by to exchange it for one without a scratched blade. They are a good bunch of guys.
 
Awesome!! Congrats!!!
I can't wait for my 0561!!!

How does the pocket clip feel with the cut out?
Does it feel weak like it could be over flexed and break?
Sharp edges on it?
What's the retention on it like?

The clip looks to me like the weakest link and I don't wanna lose my brand new 0561!!
 
Damn wish I would have ordered the 0560 instead of the 0561 since it seems they are released first

I'm loving the G10 scale the pattern looks great. That's just what the 0550 needs to be perfect.

Thanks for the photos, enjoy your knife.

But.........when did Canada become "overseas".:rolleyes:

The low serial numbers rolling out of the CONUS is an *sskicker. That is all! :(

The clip feels good to me. I'd say it's a bit narrow for the size of the knife, but it wouldn't fail or break without you making it on purpose. The clip has no sharp edges IMO. Not sure about detent. Haven't adjusted the pivot yet and it does need to go loser. As of now it's perfect.
 
:D
