Anyone else notice.
0700 $120 before, now $170
0350 $140 before, now $175
0200 $160 before, now $200
0300 $325 before, now $340

0780 and 0750 both increased $50 before they even enter production.

Is MAAP pricing still in place? If so pick up a cheap ZT for your favorite re-seller while you can still get them at a great price.

Some sites have posted the new price increases already.
 
Where are you getting your price info from ? When did these prices go into effect? Have you checked sites and found these same prices?

I checked gpk about 4-6 weeks ago and their prices were no anywhere these prices.
 
They are the new prices from ZT's web site. With MAAP pricing re-sellers prices can't be listed for less than 80% of MSRP.

So the new street price for a 0350 will be $140. It was about $110.
 
Man, I remember when amazon was selling the 350s at $85 a few months ago. I guess I should have jumped in then.
 
I noticed that too with the new catalog. I paid in full for a 750 pre-order mostly because I had the money then. I'm not that excited about paying more but at least I have to just cough up an extra $40.
 
Ouch those are huge price jumps. Guess it's a good thing I may be getting into CRK knives now.

Wow $85. I guess I should have checked Amazon. Just got a 0350 last week off Ebay for $99 shipped and thought that was a real good price. Oh well it is my favorite knife in my small collection.

Hope they don't raise the price of my 0777 and 0560 preorder.

wow...and I was thinking of selling some zt blades recently. good thing i just checked this out.
 
Even with the price increases, ZTs are still some of the best knives out there for the money. If anything, the previous prices, which had stayed the same for years in the case of the 0350 and 0200, were overdue for an increase given increases in materials costs and other inputs.
 
I always said the ZT0200 was a value priced knife and I didn't see how they could sell it for the $128 it cost. Even up in price, this is still a value knife for what you get!

Yes they are, just not the terrific buy they were before.

The 0350 might be over priced now. It's a $100 knife tops. IMO

The 0200 needed an increase the 3D G10 make the knife. Wish the 0350 had the same scales

I was just thinking this the other day after selling my 0200 and picking up a 0350-ZDP
 
I preordered a 0780 for $104 and just bought a 0170 for $120.
I haven’t bought any knives for a year or so but couldn’t resist these two designs. Glad I bought them when I did.
$220 is a killer deal for those two knives. I wouldn’t want to drop too much more than that for them though.

The price of raw metal has been steadily increasing so it’s no surprise that prices may be going up.
3V steel increased by almost 50% last year. Glad I have every knife in that steel that I want already.
