What one do you like better? Want to get one when they come out but not both. Ive been waiting for a zt with a 3 inch blade or smaller for a long time and they finally got one. I just dont know about the blade shape on this one. The 0808 has the perfect blade shape but is a little bit bigger then i like. Anyways, just wondering what your thoughts are on these.
 
Initial reaction for me was for the 0808. But the more I look at the 0900, the more I want it. Tough call... but as of this writing, I'm leaning towards the 0900.
 
0808 calls my name. No interest in the 0900-- I'd get a Spyderco Techno or Viper Odino to scratch the stubby Ti framelock itch if I caught it.

0450, though. Whoa. Sexy.
 
Without a doubt, 0808 for me...in fact, I've already committed to the purchase (now it's up to ZT to enable the dealer to take my money)
 
Me personally I like the 0900 the best. We have had a lot of customers wanting this size knife so I am stoked about it. I like both a lot so either way I think they will be awesome and you will be happy with either choice!

You work for KAI? I'm a Tualatin resident.

You all have REALLY stepped up an already impressive lineup this year. The 0808 and 0450, the 0562 last year, and while it's not my flavor, the 0900 clearly has a market. Well done!

...now, a manual 0566 on PB washers! I'd buy multiples. I love the 0566 already, but that would be even better.

You can already make that 0566 a reality. That's how mine is running. Just remove the torsion bar and use a spare full sized PB washer to replace the little one.
 
I feel like a 0900 is in my future for when I want a smaller knife. I already have a 0801 which is pretty similar to the 0808.
 
The 0808 is much more my speed over the 0900. I like everything about it. Another Rexford design? Count me in!
 
Love the 0808. Just love the blade shape. 0900 would be next.

I suppose KAI probably has spare washers there that I could buy. I may have to open up the 0566 to make this change.
 
I ended up pre ordering the 0808 lastnight, may end up doing the same for the 0900 but then the 0450 caught my eye also. About the same size as the 0808 but alot lighter. Hmmmmm.

Buy? You are aware that KAI sends out replacement parts for free, right?

Such parts include pocket clips, torsion bars, pivot sets and more. Go to their site to see the list.

Hands down one of the best CS teams I've ever had the pleasure of dealing with.

Oh, and to answer the q, I'll have to say the 0808. That Cesium blade shape is just nasty good!
