Good luck finding one, they're discontinued and I believe there were only around 300 made.
Hey there... the 0780 was produced for a very short time and only around 300 were made. It seems that though 2/3 of people on this forum who got a 0780 are having bad quality control issues. It's to the point that some of the 0780s are going in for warranty claims and ZT simply aren't fixing them and giving people a choice of a different knife instead.
Mine seems to be perfect, but I am reluctant to use it in fear of it breaking. This is a very horrible feeling and has left a bad taste in my mouth. The knife seems like it was unfinished and rushed out as a prototype. It's a shame because the fundamentals of the knife are great and could be considered a Kershaw Skyline on steroids (which is what a lot of ZT guys wanted), but ZT produced it half-baked and sent it out to loyal customers. Most likely forced to do it because they realized they had to fill their Preorders from a long time ago. It's just to bad that this knife feels like a beta, because it could have been golden! It's very comparable to a Paramilitary 2... if it had a bit more belly it would be better in my opinion.
On the subject of the clip... it's a great clip! It's only deep carry with tip down, but I don't mind it.
