ZT0562

This is my second ZT, the first was a 0350. They make great products. The 0350 was a little small for me and I could do without the recurve but the 0562 is a perfect size and the CPM 20CV seems to hold an edge well compared to CPM's S30 or 154. Just a great knife, fit, finish, ergonomics. I have not seen better and I make knives and go to the shows. Can't go wrong if you buy this knife.

A hardchore gentleman flipper !

It's a keeper: unearthy smooth operation, great ergos, best high tech materials, top notch steel. The thumb stud does not get in the way while cutting and the point is strong enough to feel really confident about its strenght. The deep carry clip makes it easy to disappear in the pocket. It’s the perfect adequation between hard working and gentleman folder.

The hype is real

Just friggen amazing. Have a lot of knives and lots that cost more and offer less. Best pocket clip I've ever met, great steel, blade shape, ergos, perfect jimping, the list of awesome goes on. Flipping action is superb, falls shut with a tiny bit of encouragement. Just get one, I waited too long and am blown away by this rock solid beast of a knife.

Loving this

I generally like to carry smaller blades, so my first reaction to the 0562CF was that it's too big for me to be an EDC knife. However, after handling this knife for a while, it just grew on me to the point that I really do like it. The ergonomics are so well considered. It fits in my hand perfectly with no hot spots that I notice. The deep carry clip is an awesome design, one of the best I've seen, and somehow it doesn't feel huge in my pocket. I won't say it disappears, but it's rides really well. The blade deploys effortlessly every time, and provides some seriously addicting flipper action. I love the way it closes, safely resting on your thumbnail so you can re-adjust and allow the blade to fold (easily) back into itself. If you have work to do, this knife is a serious tool. It begs to be used, not just sit in a drawer or safe. While the beauty of the CF lets you know you are handling a high end piece, the fit and finish and weight tell you this is a knife made to be put to a task. Blade shape is spot on, and I'm sure the CPM-20CV will hold the edge well. The lockup is super secure with a classic Hinderer design that should give you confidence that this blade ain't going anywhere when it's open. Tight! My only negative might be the weight, but it's a nit-picky thing to say because it kinda feels like it SHOULD weigh what it weighs. It's proportional. This isn't a knife you'd want to carry around the office. It might scare someone who doesn't know about knives, but if you're looking for a beautiful 3.5" blade in an awesome package, the 0562CF is a keeper, and I hope it will be part of my collection for a long time.

what a piece of art

Butter slick action, excellent lock up with no play in any direction, fit and finish is executed flawlessly, the two tone blade with the carbon fiber scale is super sexy. I hate to edc big and bulky blades, but this one fits so well that I got the g10 version to edc. This knife is so pretty I had to put it in my collection.

A decent replacement for the 0560

This is a beautiful blade. It's just beg enough to feel like you're holding on to something substantial. But it's s.all enough that it doesn't become cumbersome when carrying. The only negative, if I had to pick a negative, is that it doesn't have a lanyard hole to make it easier to draw it from your pocket quickly.

ZT 0562 CF is a star

ZT hit a home run with this one. An absolutely beautiful piece. Quality workmanship. Knife seems like it should cost hundreds more.

It's a keeper!

This one has grown on me to the point that it might actually be my current favorite. My first thought when I received this knife was that it is way too big to be one of my EDC knives. I mean, it's bigger and heavier than pretty much anything else I carry (I tend to like smaller blades around 3"). I thought about selling it, but the more I handled it, and examined it's general awesomeness - I just had to keep it. This would be the perfect EDC for a day when you have actual WORK to do. It's beefy, yet still sits in the pocket nice and deep with the well-designed deep carry clip. The flipper action was tight out of the box, but once I got used to how the knife wants to be flipped, and did it about 20 times, it deploys beautifully. It closes easily with one hand as well. I have large hands, and the ergonomics are spot on. I would say I'm kinda addicted to picking this up and using it now. Also, the build quality on this is insane. It's a tank of a knife that just begs to be used. sure, I wish it was just a bit lighter, but that's not a deal breaker. A mini version of this would be great, but then it really wouldn't be the same. So... final verdict: it grew on me, and now I really like it. This one is a keeper.

My New Favorite Knife!

Pre-Ordered since Mid-March, I finally got this about 2 weeks ago. All I can say is... WOW! Definitely worth the wait. Absolutely THE SMOOTHEST flipper I have ever used. Blade is sharp, and the 2-tone finish looks great. The knife is surprisingly thin. In fact that was the first thing I noticed picking it up for the first time. Carbon fiber scale looks and feels great. Overall ZT/Hinderer knocked it out of the park on this one. I can't imagine a nicer knife, even for significantly more $$$!

Perfect edc

This was my first zt 0562 I purchase with the Elmax steel. I had it for about 6 years now and I love it! My Elmax blade is super super sharp! I used it mostly to cut boxes and plastic shipping tap everyday . The edge held up very well! I usually touch it up with my Spyderco tri sharpener ever week cause I like my blade razor sharp! So sharp you could shave your arm hairs off! Recently I noticed my 0563 wasn’t opening up smoothly like it used to. So I call zt to see if I could order new bearing for it instead of sending it in for Warrenty service and waiting 4 weeks to get my knife back. Zt customers service was awesome and he just ship me out a set of new bearing for free! You can’t bet the quality and customer service of a zt! It’s one of my go to edc knife. It s not to big and not to small just the perfect size for me!

First ZT

Just received this one from KC. This is my first ZT and I am blown away with how much I like this knife. The fit and finish are even better than I was expecting after reading reviews and watching YouTube evals. Was a little worried about the size and weight for pocket carry but turned out to be a non-issue. A very comfortable carry. And the flipper action...oh my it is smooth. Going to get the Elmax and S35 versions next. Must haves for me.

Smooth precision perfect size winner.

Unlike some of the other recent ZT knives, this is the perfect size for both carry and handling. The steel takes a very keen edge, and seems to keep it well. The action is glass smooth, making this knife feel more like a precision piece of Swiss instrument.

Favorite Knife

Great feel in the hand. Super smooth deployment. Nice early lockup. Fires fully open every time with no wrist needed. M390 Blade holding an edge very well so far. Only negatives I could possibly come up with would be that it's heavier than 3 oz and the polished blade shows that you've been cutting stuff until you wipe it down. The CF scale is smooth and could be slippery if hands are sweaty or greasy, however I find that the perfect grip shape alleviates that for me.

Perfect EDC

This is a beautiful folder that hits perfectly in all areas. Gentlemen, Tactical, Work horse and Camping back up. 100% edc. Almost custom with minimal tweaking at a fraction of the cost. Yes I did have to work on the stiff detent and is NOW, near perfect. It's a ZT, what more can be said. Knife Center is the only way to go If you want Honest, Reputable, Fast shipping at a very good price. Owning over 50 high end folders and carrying for 2 week's, this is one of my favorites.

Another great offering from ZT

This should be one of my favorite knives...I just haven't found myself carrying it much yet which is why I only gave 4 stars. I may update to 5 once I get this in my pocket more. On the positive side, the action is perfection and the two tone blade is awesome. I also love the twill CF. The only bad thing is that the action is sooo perfect it makes my 801 seem stiff. This is the perfect combo of detent and smooth as glass opening. Fires hard but does not kill your thumb. In comparison, my 0561 is really smooth, but has almost no detent, and my 0801 fires hard, but has a very stiff (too stiff) detent and is not nearly as smooth even once past the detent point. Overall a great knife and one I will keep for sure.

It's no XM18

It's an excellent knife, but it's not a Hinderer. In some ways, it's better. I love the blade's grind; the action is smooth, with solid lockup and no lock stick. The size is perfect, and the titanium lock side with carbon fiber on the scale side slides right in or out of a jeans pocket. It feels lighter than a Hinderer. The ZT has some slight blade rattle, and it just feels not cheap but somewhat light. Hinderer is the better knife, but the ZT is a better carry, and if the price is an issue, the ZT is money well spent.

Мой первый нож.

С виду нож аж дух захватывает, но не все так хорошо... 1. Очень плохо обработаны торцы карбона, плюс очень часто попадается неоднородность рисунка. 2. Очень много перепаляных кончиков лезвия. Лезвие очень очень маркое, также его очень тяжело вытереть ( отрежьте пару кусочков банана ) Заточка с завода паршивая, гуляют углы. 3. Болты с низкокачественной стали, будьте осторожны при разборке сборке. 4. Подшипники не закрыты, грязь сама туда попадает, скрип такой что аж зубы сводит.
