ZT 10th Anniversary Interview and Shop Photos

HappyDaddy · Dec 23, 2016

Very interesting interview with Thomas Welk on the history and evolution of ZT. Don't miss the link to the photos at the bottom of the sidebar.
(I'm aware that Thomas is a lightning rod for some around here. If the thread starts going south, I'll close it, but the link to the interview will still be available).

That was a very interesting interview. ZT has done some great things. It's nice to see them still going strong.

Interesting, how come they don't have a section in the Manufacturer's section?

They did, for awhile. You can find the history of it if you search for it. There's no point in rehashing that history though.

Could you point one in the direction in that history though?

Trolls, fanboys, and arguments oh my!

Bash and defend (both sides), rinse and repeat.

Thomas decided to pull the plug.

I find the ZT knives to be amazing. Wouldn't it be possible to to have a ZT section dedicated to the brand but that isn't "sponsored"? It would be cool to have a single.place to hear about the knives, and it's the internet. It's not like you need the company to allow a thread right? Thanks

I would second this.

I think there is a forum on Kai's website somewhere.
There are plenty of ZT/Kershaw threads here on GKD. All the "Zealots" & "Order" members invaded General after Kai pulled out of BF. The mods usually end up locking the threads due to the butt hurt from those people after someone criticizes a knife.
There is a lot of info to be gleaned though. Just do a search on a particular ZT and you are likely to find a thread on it.
