ZT 0392 Hardware

[HappyDaddy]

Now that the ZT 0392 (and Hinderer Eklipse) are out, I'm wondering whether any of the after-market guys will be making hardware for these knives?

I'm sure in due time, after market accessories will be available if one of the pimpers gets hold of one in order to make the parts. Talk to Gnoleb, he's done the 562's and 0801.

I PM'd him first thing (haven't heard back yet). Thought I'd throw the question to a broader group as well.

So what are the differences between the Eclipse/0392 hardware and the XM hardware, standoffs?

I don't know what the differences are, but understand that they aren't interchangeable. The Hinderer website has separate places for XM and Eklipse hardware, and the Eklipse shows "new products coming soon."

I thought the advantage and price paid, was that the hardware already is custom. Correct?

I'd actually prefer silver hardware over the blue.

You could always remove the anodizing.

The hardware is made by Hinderer. The idea is that he will be making different colors/versions/options (as with the XM) - but then you already knew that.

Other than blasting,polishing,sanding is there another way?

I had no idea he makes different versions of hardware. Never cared to own one, I just have a thing for the eclipse. But good to know. I love the blue, my next choice would be red. That would be hot.

Sorry if that was snarky. i mistakenly took your comment to be a shot at those of us who wanted to buy the 0392. My bad.

Not a problem. The 0392 is my favorite design to date from ZT for a flipper. I dont care for flippers for the most part so that says alot. I would love to at least handle one in the future, but until somebody wants to throw a scale on one that wont happen.
The design looks very refined and I love the finish as well. It looks like a fun knife, and fun knives are some that I always love to handle.

You can use multi-etch to remove anodizing.

There are blue LBS for the 0392 on eBay aftermarket.
