My Google-fu is failing me.
Does anyone have a picture of these two next to each other?
Opinions on the 0450cf?
I really like the cf scale but not a fan of dlc coating.
Not a deal breaker, just not a fan.
Thanks in advance.
 
I've had the 0770CF in both Elmax and M4 sold them both. I have the 0450CF, I'm flicking it now. It's a great little knife.
 
I really like the 0450cf.
The DLC on mine seems different that the other several black ZT's I've owned.
The others have had a slightly chalky feel, and showed marks almost immediately. Several 0550blk and a couple 0620's come to mind.
The coating on this 0450cf is smoother on the blade and scale.

Also, I never had a regular 0770 with the aluminum handles, so I can't compare it to the 0770cf.
But the 0770cf I had felt too light for the size.
I'm sure it would have taken a nice beating, but it felt almost flimsy compared to most other tank-like ZT's in that size range.
 
I've been rotating the 0770cf into my EDC items for the last 18 months. I liked it for it's weight compared to its size. I'm not a huge fan that it's assisted but I never tried de-assisting it either. The 0450 was a solid knife in its original form and I really like it with the CF version. Here is a picture next to each other.

Awesome! Thank you all for the replies. I should have said that I do have the 0770cf and really like it. Wasn't a fan until I de-assisted it. Makes it a whole different knife. Eric, that picture is exactly what I was looking for thank you. Funny, I was just watching the DLT video on the tube for the 045cf. I guess I know where I'll be ordering from when I do pull the trigger. Thank you again.
 
I deassisted my 0770cf but the action isnt great. Totally flickable with some effort. The 0450 I have just flys out. If the 0770cf had the same BB action, I'd carry it everytime over the 0450.
 
No problem. If you need more pictures or anything like that just send me a message.
 
The 0770 is the only ZT that works for me assisted but the 0450 fires so fast it acts assisted lol.
 
Proud owner of a 0770cf as of today, and I can safely say I am very happy. I really like the 0450 for the style and look etc, but it was just a little bit too short in the handle to comfortably flick open
