It’s probably a ZT version of the Bareknuckle.
Seems most likely, hopefully, they make some decent changes (like change the modified drop point and add some more traction) to the design as the Natrix/Bareknuckle (and 0357 as it shares a lot of similarities) never did anything for me. The timing seems odds since they just released a limited edition m390 bareknuckle.

Yeah right!!
ZT/Kershaw Have never made a lefty specific knife. The best we can hope for is something with a Hawk lock, or some other ambidextrous lock mechanism like their own version of an Axis.

My guess is a 20CV titanium framelock or liner lock with G10, on steel bearings, and an in-house design. Bonus points for a thick grind or lackluster heat treatment.

Zero chance it will be either of those things.

Even though I'm a huge ZT fan and own several I'll never sell, your guess is pretty good from what we've seen recently from ZT.

I'm pretty sure they are doing this "Assisted Opening Knife" thing again

If they did it would be suicide. People are sick of assisted ZTs. Leave speedsafe to Kershaw.

I've got exactly 40 ZTs, mostly vintage, so I guess you can say that I'm a fan of them BUT I haven't been impressed w/anything they've released recently.
Hopefully, the 0707 will be better.
PS: For those w/the $ and the interest, there's a MUDD ZT 0500 for sale on the "down low" on EB. Seller is in Spain but has an excellent no negative FB rating.
I'm not bidding (wouldn't mention it if I were) but it is a very rare ZT worth collecting.

That's a nice collection of ZT's. The only one I've managed to hold onto is a model 770CF in M390...an exclusive model which I purchased nib a few years ago... It's very nice, but the grip is just the tiniest bit too small for my hand, or I'd carry it.
