As a followup to my earlier comments on the 0456 I would also add that is a good thing when a knife maker (or company) comes out with a new design that creates a lot of "good" buzz. It indicates they are innovative (because there is a lot of the same old stuff being regurgitated with just a tweak here or there). It indicates they have a sense of the knife market and what type designs might work. And it means they are also willing to take some risk and put their reputation on the line. Just because the 0456 did not "speak" to me, I am nonetheless impressed that ZT has found a new winner and it in turn makes me value even more the ZT's that I do like and already own.
I believe all credit is due to the designer.the 562 is great because of hinderer,i still love the 801 due to rexford but that sinkevich dude is out of this world man. @JAD i understand your point of view but man,you won t know until you hold this knife in your paws.i was a huge 350 fan bit the 456 is by far superior in quality.
@GaryMc, where'd you get the deep carry clip? I just bought a 456 and I'm looking for some mods. I like the titanium standoffs, but I'm gonna call ticonnector and see if I can buy only the standoff hardware without the pivot screw and extras. I really just want to eliminate the backspacer, and I personally like the blue anodizing.
@IW17 Bought it off eBay but it is made by MXG Gear at www.mxggear.com however I don't see it on their website. They do have a different really cool clip but it's sold out. They also sell custom including natural, blue, and bronze standoffs at MXG Gear and they show in stock. The blue looks like it would actually match the pivot blue.
@GaryMc i hope you ll have more luck with this clip than me....kept snagging those screws on my pockets.i like the regular much better.
They do have the pocket clip in stock @IW17 http://www.mxggear.com/collections/...p-carry-pocket-clip-for-zero-tolerance-zt0456 And here are the standoffs http://www.mxggear.com/collections/...nium-standoffs-for-zt0456?variant=28591208515
If you want a deep carry pocket clip like GaryMC has just shoot me a PM. I have one I will sell you very cheap.
Just checked BF exchange and there's a thread with some really nice NIB ZT models we have been discussing for really good prices. I mean if I hadn't just ordered from Whitty yesterday there's a ZT450CF for $150 and a ZT456 for $200 amongst a few others. I hope the 456 sells quickly because the more I look on it the more I am considering it. My 2yo is looking over my shoulder while I sip my coffee saying, "LET'S BUY IT."
