ZT 0700 stop pin?

Judging from the fact that the pictures of the 0700 doesn't show any external stop pins and the fact that no one's complained about the blade folding into the knife backwards, I can guess that it does indeed use an internal stop pin and most likely be right.
 
My dislike isn't just about strength, it's mostly about longevity. Thinner stop pins wear faster.

I have literally never heard of a stop pin wearing out - the 0700 does indeed have an internal stop pin. Which, unlike most knives I've seen in most knives, is pressure fit into the blade. In other words, the channel that you would usually see in the blade, is in both liners. It's one of the solidest knives I own as well. :)

That's because most people incorrectly think it's their liner that has worn out and caused bladeplay when it's usually the stop pin, or both. The closer to the pivot the stop pin is, the more stress it's subjected to due to poor geometry. Picture the gears on a multispeed bicycle. The smaller the gears, the faster your work creates force.
