Zero Tolerance Current/Upcoming/Discontinued Models

I was surprised KAI didn't bring any LEs with them to Blade, at least not that I saw Friday and Saturday. They brought at least four production 0055s though, serial #16 was one of them. So while I didn't speak to them about a release date, I would assume they're coming soon.

I heard KAI brought a bunch of LE Natrix in different handle materials and colors. I hope that's true and the guys from Microtech saw them, lol.

They did actually and they're really cool looking. Orange, blue, all black (blade and scales.) Given their price point, one can easily collect them all.

ETA: and having played with a 0055 quite a bit I can attest that it's going to be a winner. I really like it. Feels good in the hand, flips great and the hidden flipper tab is well done. Can't wait for my preorder to get filled!

I am very disappointed by ZT not bringing anything new at Blade Show

Its not that uncommon for them. It seems lately they do most of their new releases at shot show for some reason. Though it is odd for them to not have anything at all.
 
I'm disappointed with no signature ZT LE like we've seen announced at Blade Show since 2011:
  • 2011: 0777
  • 2012: 0888
  • 2013: 0454
  • 2014: 0392
  • 2015: 0999, 0606
  • 2016: 0427
The past year or so they've released a lot of Sprint Runs.

ZT 0427 is scheduled for 2017 release.
 
I really like the looks of the 0055, but the compound grind ruins it imo.
 
Yea i havent seen any news on the 0055. I guess a few more retailers go their hands on it at blade show. SO thats promising atleast its not canceled. Seems like its the only "new" model that hasn't been released yet. Its in my top for anticipated knives this year. THe 0055 and the new WE esperada knife. (or whatever its called the crazy looking one) I was thinking about grabbing one of the kershaw gtc knives for fun also.
 
Seems like BladeHQ didn't make as many Blade vids this year.
Looking back at the Shot Show vid, the 0055 is intriguing even if the compound grind is something I'm not fond of.

There wasn't much of anything for them to make vids about this year.
 
Two new sprint runs are at some dealers now: 0452TI and 0452TIBLU. These are all titanium and weigh only 5.05 ounces due to skeletonized titanium. Both are $212. Post #1 has been updated.

Pretty striking difference in scale between 2016 and 2017. Here's hoping for more and better output in 2018.

I'd love to see a full TI 0562 sprint run like they've just done here with the 452.

Ideally with the 20cv steel, of course.:D
