My hypocrisy goes only so far

After researching I found that 0560’s with serial numbers 0-10,000 were manufactured without a lockbar insert. 0560’s with serial numbers over 10,000 had a lockbar insert. So I searched until I found one that fell into that series.

| Nice. Good to know. My three are all sub 10k so no lock bar insert. My experience has never had a titanium lock bar fail so I’m not real worried. I just got a 562Ti from USAmade, all ano’d up. What a great blade. Design and materials are tough to beat. I will probably pick up one or two more. |

| Added some brass stand-off, a .45acp overtravel stop & tied up a new lanyard with a .380 “bead”. Kinda liking it.

| I like that lanyard idea. The clip is so strong on my vertx pants (reinforced edge) that I have trouble pulling it out. Lanyard solves that. I went blue instead of purple. Artistic choice. Lol |

| Yes it does. The 0562 feels better. |

| I have only one ZT knife, a ZT0350 folder. What vendor do ZT collectors use to get your knives? Because, I would like to get at least a few more ZT knives. Thanks in advance.
If you think you can, YOU WILL!!!!!

| Kershawguy is great. BladeHQ is good as well. Prices are usually the same on identical items, sometimes one will have a model in stock that the other does not.

| Carry this ZT0450, weak side, as backup neck stabber to my CC... Absolutely love this knife; Ti handles, frame lock, fast as an auto, and came wicked sharp (don't ask me how i know)... It's set up with a deep carry pocket clip instead of the original. It's carried tip up and can be very easily and very quickly opened with my good, albeit weak side, hand.
