Hi folks -
I was lucky enough to have visited Blade this year and one of the first things I did was hurry to the Kershaw booth and check out the new ZT's.
The ZT 0777 was there and it was numbered 001. The 777 is the lightest knife I can remember - it is awesome!
I had my DLC Tilt and my -0551 with me - so I put them out for comparison pics -
There were three variations of the 888 - of these, only the "gunmetal grey" version will be produced - it is the knife on the far right in this picture
The 888 is beefy and large - it is over 7 ounces so it is not made to be subtle at all. It makes a statement.
It is a very nice gentleman's ZT -but it appears rugged and could do whatever you need done.
The pocket clip can be pushed to either side for carrying - but can only be used for tip up.
According to the brochure, the blade will be composite s110v edge with 14C28N spine.
Great knife that I will have to have.
The ZT 0600 is another great RJ Martin design and I love it! It reminds me of a Volt 3600, but it is larger, thicker and has a bit of a recurve to it.
It swings open with a lot of authority - the fit and finish on the prototype I examined was beautiful. The clip does not look to be for deep carry, but when in your pocket the knife rides deeply and the clip works wonderfully - one of the best I have seen. The clip is also very nice looking.
The 3d texturing is really nice - it feels great - not bumpy. The knife has the very nice RJ Martin ergos that I love - it feels great in your hand and I know this knife will be a great user although I bet a lot of them get squirreled away.
It is a little lighter than the 888 but is still a big knife
Thanks to all the great folks at Kershaw/ZT - it was great to be able to check out the knives and talk to the folks behind the great new knives.
