Remember July 2013 as the beginning of Zero Tolerance's true renaissance in diversity. The first shoe to drop was the 0801 which you can't tell it's a ZT unless you look at it closely and see the robust construction. Once these show up in stores and others who think of ZT only as that niche producer of beefy hard-use knives can see for themselves, many will be pleasantly surprised if not outright shocked!

The second shoe to drop in this renaissance cycle will be the 0770 (Aluminum) and especially the eagerly anticipated 0770CF.

Both of these regular production folders will radically change people's perspective of ZT.

Of course, the Limited Edition exotic folders like 0777, 0888, 0560CBCF, 0600, 0454 and 0801CF will continue to enhance that image for the collector and enthusiast.

The "old" ZT lines continue in tandem for the hard-core hard-use crowd: 0566, 0560BLK, 0560BW and 0300BW.

These are indeed exciting times for ZT and its followers.
 
I want to see a zt leek or shallot... Well actually, i just want more knives :)

Wonder what the next line up will yield
 
The only downside I can see is many times as a company/division branches into new areas and becomes larger their focus and quality control sometimes does not keep pace and they rely on selling on the reputation they've built. However, with ZT being a division of a much larger successful knife company they are probably very well prepared to deal with and overcome/avoid such things.
 
So, what did you mean to say in non-gibberish? :)

Well I was all sorts of drunk and high last night, but I'd hazard a guess that I meant as long as they're putting out tough models to go with the prettier stuff, I'm happy. For example, keeping the 0200 and 03xx standbys on the tank side, the 05xx lineup in the tough but more refined category, and augmenting the line with things like the 0770, 0801, and the various exotic sprint runs.
 
People can't quite believe they're seeing stunning-looking ZTs. Most had heard of the one-of-a-kind beautiful 0777 but the 0600 and especially 0801 are pleasantly catching people off-guard. Are these really ZTs? Yes, once you get to hold them and see their robust & quality construction.

Man, these new ZTs are absolute home runs. Gorgeous.

Ditto! Wow, never noticed those before until Steel130 posted them. Very impressive!

 
Hopefully, within a span of a short year, ZT would've released all of the following and thus in my opinion radically & permanently changed people's perspective of ZT to a truly diversified producer of quality knives.

  • 0777
  • 0560CBCF
  • 0560BLK
  • 0600
  • 0801
  • 0566
  • 0888
  • 0888MAX
  • 0770AL
  • 0770CF
  • 0560BW
  • 0300BW
  • 0801CF
  • 0454
