Zt0392

[Scurvy092]

Looks like it just dropped at Blade:

Hinderer Eklipse collab. New project they are calling a 'factory custom'. ZT handled and blade with all Hinderer hardware!

Pretty interesting idea.

Looks like MAP will be $300. It looks to have $100 retail alone just in the Hardware.

Hopefully not just a limited edition. Looks good.

Now that's a good looking blade. 0392>0888 all day

 

[grownstar]

Wow, so it will come standard blinged out with Hinderer hardware?

 

[RamZar]

3.75"-4" blade?

All stonewashed blade & handles?

That what I gather. Rick is providing the hardware (looks to be just standard XM hardware all around, that's how I got the retail pricing). Should make for some interesting options.

3.75"-4" blade?

No clue. It looks to be a ZT version of the Eklipse and I'm not sure of the specs on it.

Nice blade!

 

[NaturalMystic]

Very nice! BTW is that a Blackwash 0566 beside it?

 

[Scurvy092]

No clue, I'm not there. Pulled the picture and info off Instagram.

 

[grownstar]

And it looks like the 0566CF is there, too!

Also the 0566BLK or 0566BW...can't really tell on this work monitor

MAP of $300 for the ZT 0392 flipper with a 3.5" blade of M390, titanium on both handles, stonewashed everything and Hinderer flairs is a big winner!

 

[bld522]

It's big all right.

 

[evanPGH]

Would love it without the finger grooves.

Ya only noticed the others after I posted!

It's big all right.

Ya, probably gonna be too big for my needs. I'll probably stick to the 0566 variations, just wish they made one with Ti.

 

[NCCNC]

I played with it earlier. Quite a blade for sure.

Well you can't blame ZT for sticking to the knitting. Still, it would be nice if they followed the 0770CF up with another lightweight entry. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

This knife IS the Eklipse. It's not ZT's take on a model, it is the model.

I would imagine that the size is the same as well.

This is as close as you can get to a production version of a custom knife. I'm guessing that's why they are calling it a 'Factory Custom'.

 

[00ChevyScott]

Rick must have been very impressed at ZTs executions of his other designs to OK a direct copy of his custom. Very nice.

 

[grownstar]

ZT is really becoming just a monster manufacturer :thumbup:

My hat's off to them.

There are some "in hand" shots of this knife on Instagram. Search for the hashtags #Kershaw and/or #Bladeshow2014..
