ZT Cardinator

Its nice, but am i the only one sad to see ZT moving away from the tough hard-use folders, to a more classy line up? Variety is nice, but i sure hope they maintain their original style knives.

Moving away or expanding the line?

Saaaweeeet. And just when I thought I was done buying any more knives.....yeah right huh?

 

[seelow123]

the pocket clip kinda reminds me of a Shirogorov.

What a beaut........yeah, reminds me of a Shirogorov.

I'm pretty sure Dimitriy Sinkevich is the owner/designer of Shirogorov. That's why it looks like one.

I love the look of the blade with no thumb studs/stop pins

 

[PURPLEDC]

I will need one of those. It must happen.

 

[glockboy]

I want to know too.

So when does the pre-order start?

 

[poolhustler]

I'm in. Please sign me up

 

[jwolf90]

Are these going to be regular production, I hope so. ZT's draining my account this year

 

[chester22]

It's not coming till blade 2014 according to the article..

I'd love it if they kept that blue anodized ring on the pivot in the production version.

 

[Gmrpnk21]

I wish they would stop showing things I can't afford to buy... Having a kid really takes the money out of ya...

 

[KnottyEagle]

It reminds me a lot of the Chill.

Very nice, looks like a useful blade shape and length as well. Hopefully a regular production run on this one, think I read somewhere in the article that it will be?

Waiting for MT to rip-off this design as well, then for Tony M to mysteriously disappear in the night. Because... Russians... geddit?

 

[jhyde7585]

I like this look. And I feel that ZT isn't moving away from hard use knives, just changing the way they look

 

[PURPLEDC]

Does anyone know what knife is on the catalog underneath the Cardinator? That looks like one beefy flipper.

 

[seelow123]

I have no idea. Maybe a Mikkel Willumsen?

 

[dragonist2]

Sweet looking knife! Please don't be too expensive! Please don't be too expensive!

Why does 'hard-use' have to be big, heavy, and 'tank-like'?
Why can't it be light-weight and elegant?
Just my thoughts. The knife looks really good, blade 14 is a looong time to wait.

It doesn't, I just think a lot of people say "hard-use" when they in fact mean "overbuilt" or "heavy-duty".
