Isn't anything long, just me opening it up and putting side by side with my 777 and 303 for size comparison

Mine arrived! Feeling a bit deflated at the moment... I had to call KAI about some "issues" with mine... I don't want to post about them until I let them do what ever they are going to do. I will say, They are not functional issues. Has any one else noticed any thing wrong with theirs??

Are you referring to spotting and or scratches along the blue anodization? If so, it's completely normal on Hinderer anodizing as it's a thin layer and wears quickly. I've gotten new screws and standoffs from RHK before and they came like that as well. if you check out the RHK forum, you'll be able to find a post concerning it.

My 0392 arrived this afternoon, its serial number 0205. (from GPK)
First of all, I really like the fancy box/packaging that ZT used for this model and I've got to say that though this is my 9th ZT, (including the 0600, 777M390 etc.) that this is the stoutest and most custom-like ZT folder yet in my opinion. I guess it should since they're actually having parts made for it by Mr. Hinderer. I love how they went with the thicker than usual titanium scales...ZT and Hinderer did an incredible job. Just keep your fingers off that lockbar has you're flipping that sucker open!
They said on their YouTube video at the 2014 Blade show that the 0392 would have a strong detent and they weren't joking. I'm glad, I hate a weak detent as I don't need a blade to open while in the pocket. Hope everyone is enjoying theirs as much as I will mine! ZT and Mr. Hinderer hit this one out of the park!

My hardware is all bronze - weird. (J/K - but I wish it was. It will be as soon as I can find it).

Yes, the anodizing is spotty, that's just how RHK parts come. I also have some significant scuffs scratches in the finish on mine, both the blade and the frame. It came that way, due to the working finish (RHK's Working Finish is bead blast with a heavy stonewashing over it). I actually like it that way, hides anything I do to it well. RHK typically does a very very heavy stonewash, the stonewash on my brand new XM-18 3.5" Skinner is actually so heavy it rounded off all the corners on the blade, like it's been super well used.
