ZT Hinderer for me.

Maybe it's time to think about an axe...
somebody in this thread led me down that rabbit hole.

I've been carrying one of their assisted knives with carbon fiber scales for the last year or so. Got 50% off when one of the MI gander mountains was closing shop.

Very light, very fast, good steel. When I get the itch to add another knife, I'll be looking further into their offerings.

My favorite everyday carry is a ZT0460 Sinkevich design. LOVE the curve shapes of the blade and handle. Fits my hand perfectly and doesn't allow any sliding forward onto the blade. Opens with authority and sharp as hell.

After a month the custom titanium clip for my zt0562 arrived today!

Welcome to the ZT Lovers.

My EDC is a 0560BW with the Elmax blade plus I have a 0350 in my car.

My 0302 used to be my EDC before getting the 0560BW. I actually also had a second like new 0302 I got at an estate sale.

I mistakenly mentioned I had two 0302's and got an offer I could not refuse so I'm down to just one now. I'm keeping that one

Nice clip Grumpy!

If I'm wearing pants my well loved 0350 is with me. This knife can do everything.

My EDC, ZT 0770CFM4 Limited Run

Love it, great action and nice lightweight due to the carbon fiber scales.

Added a 0801 from a friend’s collection yesterday.
After a session on the sharpening stones up to 8000gr and the strip block I added a spare MXG pocket clip I had. I wish ZT offered different clips.

They're nice, but just too heavy for me.

Grumpy, on your new clip, is the USMC etched all the way through the clip, or just engraved? Hard to tell in the pic.

I have a similar clip for my ZT350, it's just engraved.

I also took an old EGA, and mounted it to the scale. Only thing is I had to use one with the anchor pointing right, so I could still hit the thumb stud. Over time, it has worn very nice. I carry it daily, outside of work.

It goes all the way thru.
Looks like its water jet CNC.

I've carry the 0462 the most.

I also have, typically in dress pants, the 0450CF and 0770CF.

Then there are the tanks - 0301 and 0562.

We almost have the same "tanks"... I have the 0302 and a 0560BW

For those interested ZT is doing “Special Run” knives.
This is currently just released .

While awaiting the delivery of the Factory Special Series ZT0562 BL GRY on Monday, I finally got around to installing the brass hardware from xxxAdrenalinexxx in Australia.
This should tide me over for a couple days !

The Factory Special Series ZT0562 Blue & Grey arrived !
I kind of find it odd that in a year where the radicals were tearing down Civil War monuments Zero Tolerance put out a limited edition “Blue & Grey” model !
But it doesn’t look bad with my other 0562’s.

Very nice, Grumby. I only have one 0562, might need another one. I sure like that Blue & Grey. The 0560 and the 0300 series have always been my favorites.

Added a discontinued zt0456 Sinkevich design to the family this week.
This is a chubby bugger.
3.25” blade & 6.6oz
My first experience with a sheep’s foot style blade as well.
Added a MXG clip to it.
I’m not sure I’m sold on the blue anodized parts.
May just remove it.
