Zt 0562cf slow roll out.....

I finally got an email from dvor that the knives arrived a few days ago and they wanted me to re-paypal the money. I was on the fence about it but I decided to just save the money and get a hinderer skinner. I love my zt550 but the 561 has only been flipped and developed serious blade play.
 
Ha mine order for nearly 9 months finally had enough so I canceled and bought another knife I've always wanted. So now I have an awesome spyderco vallotton.
 
What is the going price on those ZT0562CF ? I've seen some listed on eBay for inflated prices and a Pen & Knife specialty shop here in Scottsdale ( upper crust area) asked me for $300 originally but managed what I thought a decent price....I'm happy to have it no matter but just curious what the going price is.
I should of asked Knife Center when I just had them on the phone about my Brous Bionic flipper.. Has anyone had issues with the deployment of that knife? Love the blade but its killing my finger and just doesn't deploy without a lot of wrist action.
Thanks, you guys have a great weekend any if anyone is in the Phoenix area please let me know what's up around here, I'm new from South Florida by way of Jersey... :)
 
The full retail price on the ZT website is 300, most dealers when they had them sold at around 240. The few I've seen on eBay were 300-400.

I've never had any issues with mine, it fly's open with very little effort.

They have excellent customer service at Kai, you might want to have them look at it.

Good luck it's an awesome knife.

Just got off the phone with KC and don't feel too bad. Of course they don't have any ZT0562CF's but they are selling for $240 and I paid $250 for mine.. The thing is I had to call in a favor and make them feel like thieves before I could get that price. Its a nice shop but I won't be buying from them again. They are having a difficult time competing with the online prices.
I'd like to have some custom work done if someone could recommend someone in the Phoenix area ??
 
Just to tell you a little about myself, I'm recently retired due to health problems and home a lot now recovering from cancer treatment and have too much time on my hands and not able to do things I enjoy now.. Biking, hitting the range, etc. Just waiting to get well.. Good days, bad days..
So, if I start posting and asking a lot of questions you'll know its for a few reasons... I'm not just freakin' nuts !
 
Thanks slg98, my ZT is fine. Its the Brous Bionic that has the deployment problems.
BTW, after that last post I called KC and got their price but they could not tell me when they'd have more. Its a good thing I bought mine when I did...Now I just need to decide I'd I'm gonna make it my large EDC. I usually carry 2-3 knives, that's counting my keychain Swiss Army which you still can't take on a plane, I'm still pissed about losing my Cadet to a TSA guy to take home.
 
I just bought one from Smoky Mountain Knife Works this week. The G10 model was $199 and the CF was listed at $240. They had several in stock. Best flipper I have seen. I purchased in the store but their website has them listed in stock also.

Did you tighten the pivot?
 
I've been on pre-order with KC for a long time (I get an e-mail every few weeks confirming I'm still on the list).

Can't believe they got some in stock and sold them instead of filling pre-orders!! Wow, not very happy about that!

I would send them an email about that. I used to get those e-mails every few weeks for a Spyderco Military I had pre-ordered from them, many months later I emailed them asking for an eta and they basically said oops we're not getting any more. During all that wait I could have just bought one from another dealer, but by the time they told me about their screwup everyone else had sold out. I haven't dealt with them since. Obviously since the 0562 isn't a limited run you don't have to worry about that, but the point is their pre-order system is garbage!
 
I got sick of waiting so I ebayed one from a reputable seller I have bought from in the past at a minor premium cost.

Got frustrated with KC and cancelled by pre-order.

I did find one locally, however, at a brick and mortar sporting goods store. It was more $, but not bad (standard markdown from msrp). Well worth it to get the knife today instead of waiting forever.

I'm really happy with it.

I sent KC an email asking if it was true that they are selling some in stock units before sending my preorder. I got a reply that did not answer my question, but did say I could cancel my preorder if I wanted. I sent back a reply to that saying that I did not want to cancel and pointing out that they did not answer my question. KAC replied that they would not cancel my preorder and again ignored my question. This will be my last Knife Center purchase.

Did your knife arrive?
 
I waited 10 months for my 620CF. Just placed the order and forgot about it. Worked out okay. . . . .

I will say it's not a great business model.
