Thanks for the comparison! Also, the reason you can't reliably deploy via the thumb stud is because it's not a thumb stud, it's a brake stop for the blade when flipped open :)
Also when using the thumb stud with your left hand (thumb), you're inadvertently putting pressure on the lock bar against the blade causing added resistance. It'd probably be easier using your right hand (thumb).
My experience. I had both the ZT0562CF & ZT0562. I was able thumb flick my G-10 model with ease but the CF had a detent that was too strong to thumb flick... the G-10 model was from the discontinued sale and the CF was the 204P version. Now they are made in 20CV. The G-10 styling was not for me, I prefer something more eye catching 😃
Yeah, I'm sure that detent varies. I think at the time, the only reason I purchased the G10 version was because of price. Now I really like the titanium model more. Thanks for watching Eric.
Got my 0562 from a close out sale for $150. For me there’s no need to get the Ti version. Probably use the money for a Ferrum Forge or several budget knives. BTW, the liner under the 0562 g10 is steel. I thought it was Ti too till I put a magnet to it. 👍🏽🔪
Nice video KB, I have the G10 version that I bought for under $200 and I really like it. I like the Ti version as well but the only way I will ever upgrade to the full Ti version is if/when I finally pull the trigger on a Stars and Stripes Customized by USA Made Blade, I really like the ZT0562TI Blue Stars & Stripes "We The People" version... MAGA!
I hear ya, it's tough to justify buying almost the same model again. In regards to that modified version, I know exactly the knife you are talking about Sailor, it is beautiful. Thanks for watching.
I have the 0562CF and I love it but every now and then it will get a LITTLE bit of play between the blade and detent when its closed. Barely perceptible but I feel it. Anyone else have this issue?
Just bought the cf version and can’t open with thumb studs. Like the looks but wish it had more grip. Same with the ti version. Great review! New subscriber.
This and the ZT462 CF are my favorite production knives. I just lost the CF version of this one and ordered the Ti version. Both are great blades.

No its literally not a thumb stud. Its a blade stop. They made them rounded to discourage use as a thumb stud
They have said this@markn4526
Thanks for comparing the two Jay!
Thanks Jody.
Enjoyed that mate. So many changes to the same knife. Sometimes it is just nice to sit back and listen and learn. Atb paddy 👍☘️😀
Thank you pad.

Thanks saved me from doing it myself.👍

Wow JcruzR that's a fantastic price! Nice work. Thanks for the heads up about the liner.
The Knife Beater KnifeCenter had the best price when that model was discontinued. Had to snatch it!

Disgusting.

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned it, but the G10 is over steel with titanium one the lock side.
Yeah, I should've checked that first. Thank you Scott.

Its not made to open with them, they're blade stops
Thank you Wayne. Welcome to the channel, glad to have ya!
Very good J!
This will help many, in making a decision. A VERY popular knife, and rightfully so.
: - )
I hope so. Thank you Steve.
Just ordered the TI version about 30 minutes ago....
Do a cutting test. Let’s see if zt can heat treat 20cv better than S35vn
Nice comparison. I'm not a fan of the "CF" version at all. I like the early "G10" version a lot (with Elmax), but would probably prefer the "Ti".
Nice explaination
Thanks Mailo, much appreciated.
What if you own the orange g10 version with 204p?
I would rather own the g10 version as I prefer easier to sharpen steel and some better grip.
I hear ya magic. The G10 definitely provides more traction. Thanks for watching.
ZT achieve the best on the frame lock system.
Yeah, they are good.
Can you change the pocket clip to the other side?
yes you can
Not worth it for EDC. My G10 S35VN 0562 will not do anything different or better if upgraded.
說廢話!浪費我時間!
所以這意味著你不會再回到這裡了？
