ZT 0600 BLACK Caught My Eye

[NCCNC]

I am not normally one for coated blades, but I saw the black blade 0600 at bladehq and thought that it was rather striking. Just wondered what others though.

I just seen it myself actually, I still like original better

I'm a big fan of ZT's DLC coating.

I'm waiting for a different finished handle without the 3d handles, DLC or satin blade I don't care!!! (DLC is sharp looking)

what variations are coming down the pipe?

I like ZT's DLC versions like 0550BLK, 0560BLK and especially 0777-M390BLK. The 0600BLK with the black blade and CF inlay should look nice.

Wow... I like that too. I'd bronze anodize the handle in a heartbeat.

Hmm... the Ti handles are just begging, "please anodize me in bronze!"

 

[drichardson67]

Ohhhh, I just HAD to pick one up myself. It's just too dang purdy.

The 0600 is a sweet knife, it carries easy, is built like a tank and the black blade is a nice touch.

That would look stellar. 0600's look pretty cool anodized. Here's one that caught my eye. (not my pic)

I think Dan Keffler did that.

 

[TEFL0N_D0N_81]

Based on my budget, I had to pick either this one or the 0777. I'm glad I got this one. It's the closest I'll get to an RJ custom.

 

[RamZar]

Anyone get their 0600BLK yet?

Also, if you happen to have both the stonewashed (0600) and DLC (0600BLK) versions a side by side picture. Appreciate it.

My 0600BLK won't get here until next week.

The only thing about this is if you actually learn about coatings it is not a DLC coating as the knives would be far more expensive if it was a true DLC coating. Did some research after watching on of Jim Skelton's videos on this topic and he hit it right on the money. I believe it is similar to PVD or is a PVD coating which is cost way less. I do like the look of the black but I also like the original version. Not sure which I would go with but probably the satin.

I'm not going to pretend to know a ton on this topic but according to people much more knowledgeable on the subject than me: PVD is a process for applying coatings. DLC is the actual material applied.

I like Jim and I have known him for many may years but he doesn't always have his facts 100% straight.

No. Just, "No." Wait.. "No. Further research required. Try again. Thank you for playing. Have a nice day."
