You gotta get the GreenThorn version of this knife in M390.. full-ti, supreme fit and finish, the usual, w/ GT, dual-row bearings w/ full weight relief.
There is even a cheaper version that still has CF and Ti scales with d2 that's around $65! Only difference being the pivot screw is just a standard black.
I preordered mine from BHQ in February or March, and finally got it mid-May. Awesome knife, but kinda crappy lead time from BHQ, seeing as how several other vendors had them available for weeks before BHQ got mine out.
LTK, I have been triggered by your refusal to accept intermaterial relationships between Ti and CF. I think we can all agree this is 2018, not 1818. Intermaterial relationships are just as meaningful as relationships between the same materials. This is the kind of attitude that holds us all back. Give intermaterial love a chance !!!!!!! :-)
Baz on Blades Like you say on your reviews. It’s me ..... I’m just not into it !!! Just watch the future Knives. They’re going to be symmetrical ! Have you seen the 2018 Blade Show videos ? Reate liner lock integral knives. Reate Kirby Lambert collaborations? The WE knife Vapor, Zephyr etc.
LuvThemKnives, I get you brother. I'm just being a goofball. I have watched so much BLADE coverage that I can't even keep up with what I have seen. I will have to rewatch most of it.
the only thing stopping me from buying this knife and the other 2018 releases (except for the 0470 which I just bought) is the absence of a lanyard hole. I put a lanyard on every one of my EDC folders.
Keeper xD , just put a bronze/brown ano on the frame lock and you're good to go, the action and execution on this knife is flawless. Hate the billboarding tho but seems like ZT loves that stuff.
i tried to copy a link for a full titaniun version from dhgate but i could not paste it in the comments. search for Green Trorn Poluchetkiy titanium knife in M390
This is a truly a beautiful knife , the only thing thats annoying is the plain pocket clip . A milled titanium clip would have really set this knife apart
Get rid of your old ZTs lol... 1) terrible heat treat, 2) terrible lock geometry, 3) terrible bearings w/o steel washers, 4) no weight-relieving on inside until late 2018, 4) half are ugly. The designs they do get right, though, are hella attractive. But I just can't justify all that money on a ZT when my $60 China knives have dual-row ceramic bearings w/ steel washers, and are weight-relieved.
Never thought I'd edc a blade that big but I love the 462.
It’s nice to see a real knife on your channel! Alright! Fit for a king! 🤴🏿
Back spacer is anodized aluminum. Really like this knife! Btw love the carbon fiber over ti. PS can't stand lanyard holes so glad they left it out.

Big brother to the ZT 0460. I
I’m watching this because I’m thinking of buying one… I think I might go with all titanium also.

Swear to it!

I'm with you brother baz. Or should I leave out the gender pronoun? We need to be inclusive of the intermaterial relations.
@@LuvThemKnives Racist.
They have an all blacked out sprint run now, I think that one would tickle your fancy if you like dlc coated blades
I would like a version with TI on both sides. I agree fully, LTK.
Awesome knife! :D

It seems the CF is a little thin, given that it’s unlined, especially along the open edge?
The blade length should be from the tip to the end of the handle, i.e. how deep it would go when stabbing (not that we have much need for that)!
Man, it is fantastic how he can talk nearly 20 min. about 1ordinary knife. 😎

I feel the same, it's like it's half complete.

or if they did the scales like zero tolerance 850 with carbon fiber on the lock side and use a partial frame lock
damn zt actually milled out their handle scale
Give them a few months, they'll have a full ti 0462 and 0460.

Where did you get the deep carry clip for the 0452tiblu?
TangDominates I got it on Ebay
LuvThemKnives do you happen to remember the seller? It looks like the blue matches perfectly and I’d love to get one for my 452tiblu
it looks like snake skin. that blade looks like its a good slicer
+LuvThemKnives Used your coupon code and ordered one, don't fail me now! ;)
Ps how long is that code good for?
Herb Toker No expiration on that coupon code that I’m aware of.

Shame the blade is a pain to sharpen at the base though; and state laws would be a pain in the ass.
