ZT 0562ti

Ano’d huh? Cool. Looks nice. Gonna try one to see if it pushes me over the top to actually keep it. Had the CF and it didn’t stick.

I have the CF version as well, and for some reason the Ti flips open noticeably better. I'm not sure why, just feels even better.
 
It arrived today and it's a beauty!

I have the 0452ti as well and it’s an awesome knife. Just scratching my head why the 0562ti is more than the 0562cf....only thing I can think of is because ZT knows they can get the $280 for it since we have been asking for it for a long time.
 
May be due to the extra milling that was done to the Ti frame? IDK, just guessing, I kinda wondered the same at first.
 
I think they priced it too high as well. The 0452ti was actually less than the CF and has the same weight reducing milling.
 
I agree, sorta expensive, but I'm more than happy. Anyone else notice the difference in flipping between the CF and Ti?

I have 4 versions of the 0562 and they are all a little different. This one has a different sound of course. Detents are kinda a gamble with ZT.

Because this is production, I'm assuming we will see a sprint at some point. I'm really hoping they do a 0562TIBW.
 
TIBW would be cool, but until then......ill enjoy this one a lot. I got a good deal on the 0562Ti with bronze Ano.
 
I like the look of the 0560, but just too expensive for what I think I would get. I kinda like the blade grind of the 0562 a little more. I have a o566 that I carry often....if it had a 3.75 " blade and textured Ti scale, would it be about the same as a 0560? Never held a 0560 and not sure it would be worth it for an extra 1/2" of blade...I could be wrong.
 
I still have a couple 0560s and they are awesome, but they don't carry like the 0562, which also has arguably better ergos. My 0561 has been my truck console knife for over a year now.

I agree. The 0452ti was internally milled, had some groves machines into the handle and it was $8 less than the 0452cf. Plus it was a sprint run. You’d think a full production model costs would be lower because they produce a lot more. I have a 0560bw, two 0566s, two 0562s, and a few cryos. I like hindered designs, just having trouble pulling the trigger on this because of the price....I want to I really do, just....I don’t know, the price puts a bad taste in my mouth.
 
Any dealer is anodizing this model? If so, anyone purchased an anodized ZT 0562TI and would mind showing some pictures? I really want to see how the knife looks like with anodization (it looks great too without anodization).
 
Here is some vid I took of it. Not 100% sure I will keep but manufacturing is perfect I must say. Perfect centering, perfect edge, perfect detent, perfect lockup, etc. Only thing one could complain about I guess is that the stone washing is pretty haphazard but I believe that is purposeful. So no complaint here.

Oh and vid went twice as long but Imgur cut it off.
