good old 0550, incredible SMOOTH!

What impresses me the most about the new models: 20cv and they're all under $250 (with titanium and carbon fiber).
 
I tried my hand at a little custom anodizing on this 0900 last night. I'm pretty happy with the way it came out, especially considering it was my first time doing so. I'm thinking I may strip it back down and see if I can't get a little more contrast out of it by just doing the 'blurple' color over raw Ti rather than doing the bronze finish first. Great little knife, though!

It looks like a factory custom, I’d leave it be.
I love carrying this model ZT.
 
The more I look at and think about the upcoming three new ZTs, the less likely I think I'll buy any of them. This is just my nitpicking: 0609 is a bit too short and the scale color is not the most attractive; the g10 part on 0393 looks cheap (would prefer cf) and more importantly its not being inlay may cause some hot spots in the hand, blue anodized full ti scales would be much preferred (just like that of 0392); not sure about how the hugely curved handle of 0462 would feel in hand. I may end up picking up some older ZT models that I have not tried (0920, 0220, and 0456).

I may pick up a 0609 for office carry. Not sure about the 0393 yet; aesthetically I like it alright though.
 
The new ZT 0393 is in stock at GP Knives for $240.00 shipped. 3.5" blade of 20CV that's 0.156" thick. Titanium frame lock with steel lock bar insert and KVT bearings flipper. Weighs 5.0 ounces.

The pivot nut is weird looking, that being said, nice to see them starting to release them into the wild. I'm gonna order one early April, I assume they'll be released over here by then, I have my March Budget already sorta allocated. :oops::D
 
I would like to get some sprint run in 20cv instead of S35vn
0801, 0900,0560 would have been great with such an upgrade!

Came here to say this; looks like I'm way late!

The good news is, the stock clip doesn't have ZT emblazoned all over it, and the blue anodization looks a lot better than in the original photos posted after shot :)
 
Remember on the ZT 0393 it does have a steel lock bar insert although not easily visible in pictures due to the G-10 overlay. Additionally, the pivot screw, filler tab and pocket clip can be replaced with genuine Hinderer Eklipse parts.
 
The more I look at 0393 the less I am impressed by the g10. Wish the handles are blue anodized full titanium. Though in person it could be a different story.
