Congrats on a really nice knife. What fit/finish issues did you find on your ZT0777? My only complaints on mine are minor. There was an uneven cut on the top of my pocket clip and the clip was much too tight when I first received it. The blade also wasn't as sharp as I would have liked, but I fixed that quickly.

That knife is so sweet. I passed up a great chance to buy one for a good price. I have been kicking myself ever since when I saw he had sold if the next day.

No issues as far as the edge or the centering or those things go, my "gripes" are as follows
1. I personally don't like that the pocket clip extends beyond the frame of the knife, I feel like it would look so much cleaner without that little tip extending past the end of the handle. Just make it flush with the scales and backspacer.
2. The screws that go through the handle scale, the backspacer and then out the other handle scale. I can't help but feel that, for the money, these could have been finished with a little more quality. The one end has the screw head and the other end is just a bit rough where the screws were ground down to the length they needed to be. When I compare that with my Hinderer, the one end has the screw head of course and then the other end has a nicely polished handle nut of sorts that the screw threads into. Just that one extra little bit of finish would have this knife as absolute perfection in my opinion. Having ground down screws that are not uniform just didn't seem fitting for this knife.
It's hard to capture exactly what I mean, but here you can see the polished handle nuts of the Hinderer. Now picture the 0777 with something similar in black to match the screws, that would make such a huge difference.

Naw, that's just shredded fingernail that resulted from me replacing the spark plugs and spark plug wires on my Taurus.Mark aka "Fuzzy Fingers"
