ZT 0562Cf question .

[miltmaldo]

Hi guys after 3 years of wait and delaying the purchase of this knife I finally did it . I put my order in and received it yesterday . My first reaction was wwwwoooowww the knife is sweet . I mean I'm very impress with it . I didn't get a chance to inspect the knife until now . I did carry it all day today .

Now to what seems to be an issue . I checked the knife for centering and it's a bit off . I can't find my second t-reach so I can't move the pivot yet to center it better . When looking at the knife the lock side the blade seems to be touching the lock is this normal or not . I don't hear the blade rubbing but I'm picky and if it's not normal I like to know . Here are some pictures of the knife .

I put a flashlight behind and no light comes out of the frame lock side .

It's fine. You need to measure centering at the blade tip, the frame lock drops closer to the blade when the ball detent sinks into its hole.

Normal. Was the same on my 0562, and is the same on my 0630 and 0566CF.

Yep, that's normal. The detent ball is resting in the detent hole causing the blade to rest on the frame in the closed position

It would be abnormal if the blade does not touch the lockbar insert section of the lockbar, because if this is some space there it means the detent ball does not sit fully into the detent hole, which usually results in a weak detent.
