I’m 14 and have been saving for a long time and just bought my first “nice” knife. Got the 0609, and can’t stop watching knife videos
Congrats! Learning to save up for nice things you truly want takes patience and determination, both admirable attributes. I hope you are enjoying the knife! You picked a good one!
Nice, 0609 is a good one
Get help now it only gets worse lol
Damn, that's a really nice ZT. But my favorite is 0562. I'm actually going to sell a few less expensive knives and then buy this one.
Well done my Man!!
The awkward pause bit after he said he didn’t own any ZT’s was EPIC!! Hahahahaha
Tony Jensen I agree. Shame on Ben.
I seriously lost it. That, and the "ope" bit at 16:03 😂
I laughed so loud!
I re-watched 3 times!!!!! EPIC!!!! FUNNY AS HELL
I mean shit if you dont own at least 1 ZT you better say you live under a rock and never heard of them. I got 450 as soon as I saw it.
That spot where Ben says he doesn’t own a single ZT is exactly the sound and awkwardness that happens when I get another knife in the mail and my wife’s home😂
I personally would take home all the limited editions... because I did. Lol. Great job guys!
lol
ESB- You have one hell of a collection. You always get me salivating for new knives before they go into production.
I'm sure you got a couple extra 392s laying around to sell me one right?
I subbed to you
I carry a knife every day. Collecting for 60 years. You’ll be happiest with 0562 or 562CF. You can wear it on the belt or keep it in the pocket as this one clip will do it all for you. Looks sensational. The steel is very good and I caught the sharpest edge of any factory knife ever! The knifes action copies a full custom. You’ll love it. Best value on the table for a top notch knife.
Just got an 0562CF and I'm in love. First time I saw it I knew I had to have it. A tank indeed
I carry a 0562cf every day, love it. Retired the 0561 to the safe for the 562. ZT makes awesome knives
own a 0450. this was my first (expensive) knife purchase, but once i held it i could tell it was quality and had to purchase on the spot. absolutely impressed and love the ball bearing system. havent had a single issue and i use this knife daily both at work and at play
I just bought one and feel the same high end for sure ..
This video is awesome. I met my father when I was 21 years old, and coming home from Iraq. Before he passed one of the only things he bought me was a ZT 0300. I've never really been knowledgeable about knives, but I appreciated the quality. I carry it every day on duty. It's no moon piece...that 999...whooo, but I like it. To see the 0350 really brought it back. Thanks guys. Also...Matt, teach me the ways of your craft! You make the videos rock!
Matthew is a genius with editing. It’s hilarious and informative and pulling in references all at the same time. Brilliant!!!
That awkward pause with the crickets is the exact point that i hit the like button haha
So THATS the guy that edits some of the best vids on RUclips!! Awesome job Matthew!! 👍
Own the 0450CF and 0804. they are both fantastic. I switch off between the two of them as my EDC depending on what I'm wearing and what I'm doing that day. Planning on picking up the 0801 as well.
I love ZT, they're my favorite production knife company. I love every Rexford design that's out.
In my humble opinion you should totally have Matthew do blade show coverage.
I have an Emerson ZT and it’s the best knife I’ve ever owned. Better built and smoother than any of my Spydercos, Benchmades, my Microtech, my Ferrum Forge, or anything else I’ve owned. Really a joy to use!
Video edits continue to get better and better! BladeHQ, give those guys a raise!
One of my favorite Ben vids. Matthew knocked it out of the park in post 😂🤣😂
Love Mathews editing - he really MAKES these videos imho. great to see him in front of the camera
0562CF, LOVE THAT KNIFE! I have the older Elmax Steel version!
Was always an 0888 fan. Wish I collected ZT,s back when it was released. I got 6 now, the 0888 would be my holy grail in the collection. Fantastic knives, haven’t been disappointed with one yet!
The record scratch before the cricket sounds was BRILLIANT!
Zero tolerance to the fact Ben doesn't own a single ZT knife!
They did make the ZT 0900 that had a 2.7" blade (got discontinued).
ATech Reviews yessir .. that was my favorite ZT of all
ATech Reviews I heard they discontinued it because Ben didn’t buy one.
Best crickets moment EVER!! Keep up the stellar work, Matthew.
I currently own a 0562ti and use the hell out of it so decided to buy another this past week but the 0562cf with full titanium blue screw/standoff set and a custom anodizing job on titanium frame lock side of knife. if I was to take another ZT home that's on table in this video it would have to be the 0999. I love carbon fiber on my knives and I love how they incorporated copper in the blade steels. usually a huge fan of knives that have micarta, carbon fiber, brass, copper, titanium, timascus, moku-ti, zircu-ti and zirconium and a high quality blade steels. best knife I currently own is a Custom Knife Factory CKF Philipe Jourget FIF20 with a m390 blade, zircu-ti bolsters and pocket clip with carbon fiber scales. knife is absolutely amazing and has the smoothest action I've ever felt on a knife. matches my zirc tactile turn pen/pencil set that both have timascus bolts and pocket clips perfectly as well which is kinda why I bought knife in first place. lmfao
I recently ordered a 0562cf from you guys, it will be my first zt but after handling a freinds collection yesterday it definately wont be my last! these knives are fantastic and im already planning on an 0460 to add to my edc pocket carry rotation
I found a 0566cf the other day in a river kayaking. No clue how long it was in there but its in great shape! S35vn no rust, great action out of the river! Never saw myself buying a zt till now
That awkward pause was hilarious
Great job. Took home the 452CF. Liked it so much I got a 452TI a week later.
I know it’s an older video but the editing in this video is gold!
I recently purchased a 0562ti and plurple hardware from Australia. My favorite EDC. The 0999 also looks great.
I recently bought the 0452cf and god do i LOVE it. I have 3 knives in the $200 range. This is by far the best.
My favorite is the classic ZT 0350. Nice collection guys
I'm seriously going to look into the 0462 because that up-swept blade look and the extra room for my fingers. Also that red CF! Too Cool!
I have ZT0566 for over 2 years now and I didn't have any real problems with the knife. I just broke torsion bar and pocket clip by accident, and even though it was 100% my fault ZT didnt even ask about it, they just sent me replacements parts for free. Their customer service is great.
Got an 0462 couple weeks ago and it’s honestly my favorite knife in my collection
Do you find it thick behind the edge or awkward in the pocket?
Matthew did a great job, more Matthew!!
I personally own a 0562CF, but unfortunately I got mine when they were doing them in 204P. Not a bad steel, but I like the 20CV better myself. Beautiful knife though. I wanted something beefy for camping and hard tasks, and it fails to disappoint. Looks really pretty too, but that's just a bonus.
Alex Gentry 20cv and 204p are virtually identical steels. They’re just made by different companies.
House of Jello Productions perhaps it was the heat treat. I'm not sure. That's the only 204p knife I've had and I want quite a happy with it as I was with the several I've had in 20cv though
0350....I really Appreciate Knives that are Simple and Basic in Appearance but can be Worked Hard...and The Bug Out Video is one of my Favorites
Just picked up a 0450CF! Thats my pick!
I love Zac..hell i love all of Blade HQ. past crew and current editors and camera personalities.
I bet they all start with zeros because of "Zero" Tolerance.
Zac Tolan Huh. Never thought about that
You're a fucking genius, Zac
I bet there is a ZERO chance of that 😂(yes horrible puns)
DOH!
Video editor is the real MVP
I just bought a 0566 about a week ago and love it so far, great blade! The only change ive made is a deep carry pocket clip from mxg gear. Off of the table here I would take home the 0850, beautiful knife. I also have the 0393 on pre-order which I'm excited for.
I own the 0450 full ti and i Love it! But I can't wait for the 0609 to come out, that thing is gorgeous.
5:05 I watch this part over and over again for a couple of reasons. I dont know what those reasons are but I feel certain that there are reasons and they're probably damn good ones!
I only have 1 ZT a 562 CF love it.It ties for 1st. place as my fav.
0999, that thing looks gorgeous! Definitely gonna use the term "moon knife" from now on, that's great. Thanks guys!
I collect knives in the worst way. I buy two at once of the same model. One I use and one I keep mint.
Erik Saxe Same for me. Cheers!
Teach me.
I thought that was just me.
Yes, I also had to admit I was powerless over knives and my collections had become unmanageable. 12 step program helped to diminish the Obsession.
Erik Saxe my buying method EXACTLY 😀
Matt should be in more videos. Impressive knowledge base
0562cf....absolutely phenomenal knife
I friggin love ZTs. They're just badass. Not always as practical as Spyderco, Benchmade and Kershaw but they are just so badass.
ZT makes Kershaw
@@evanacey1414 lol I'm well aware. Still 2 different brands.
I love all types of Knives on your videos of knifes I hope you show more new knives in future keep up with great work guys👍😊👍 and my favorite knife is Ontario RAT model one folding knife🔪
Man it is so relaxin up under the air conditioner after a helluva hard day and to hear: WHAT IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISS UP GUYS
Love ZTs Hinderer work currently own the 0566 and 0561. Fantastic knives
NewAgeofAwesome I love the Hinderer designs kinda disappointed they didn’t add the 0566, I’ve been trying to get a 0560BW for the longest time and I’ve finally found one but it’s gonna cost like 350-375
Great review! I'm kinda new to the knife game. Bought a Benchmade. Thought it was great. I do like the Axis lock. Then I bought a ZT (0452cf) and absolutely chuckled at how mediocre the ZT made the Benchmade look re: quality, fit and finish. Is that normal? The centering on the Benchmade was awful. Love ZT!!!! 🤙🏻
0450CF by far. I’m all in on narrow blades.
I still have my 0200. The machining on the handles is awesome
I have the 0900GLD (under 3-inches 😲) and the 0450G10. The 0450G10 is most definitely the overall favorite.
Waiting for my 0562cf to be delivered. Love Blade HQ.
It came in and it's a real gem.
I died when the 0999 blasted off 😂
ZT0566 in S35vn is the best working knife they make when u take the assist off.
The 804cf is my favorite too! It was the first ZT(of numerous now) that I purchased. I also bought a spare one from you guys when it was discontinued to have a backup!!
Love my 0350, almost always at my side
This is a great combination of reviewers! Great knives and great fun...
I`m a Leatherman and kind a Sog guy so... i dont feel that attraction for ZTs in general. But they are nice. Awesome vid guys!!
I would definitely take the 0606CF. Absolute beauty!
Zac, try using paint brush cleaner (the kind which can clean acrylic or oil paint) on the more stubborn dirty spots. I'm a working man myself, I've used it to clean everything from burnt conveyor belt smudges to Aluminium silicate grit off my skin. Still haven't found something it would not wash off.
I wouldnt use it on your skin, unless you want serious health problems like cancer.
I know this vid is super old at this point, but I got an 0990 recently and it's the snappiest, lightest knfie I've ever felt
Zt are nice even though I don’t have any. I always seem to have some in my cart but in the end I buy like a benchmade, Spyderco, reate, etc...
YoungBeezy better choice lol can’t beat them both I got a the 450, 940 , and I’m not all that happy with the 450 I love my benchmade 940 tho
I have the 0350tsst and I'm in love. 👌
Matt is the real deal
Carrying the 0566cf today😊
I bought my first ZT maybe 3 years ago because of NCIS, Gibbs was wearing that tiger striped one. Never owned that version because I've never really seen a good review on it.
I love these shows! HQ made me a knife man single handedly lol.ben and zac are awesome dudes
I love ZT knives. Never owned one but I would love to hopefully sometime down the road. Still a little expensive for me. Still rocking my Kershaw Cryo II
So going deep into the search results of "Zero Tolerance" on Amazon gave me the answer as to why ZT's website isn't its name plus .com. Fascinating.
I wish they would bring back the ZT wharncliffe folder. These knives are sick though. Definitely adding one of these to my collection soon.
You guys should do a video on tuning and taking care of your knife so people can learn how to tune and take care of you knife
ZT 0562CF just is! 🤪
I like that you very discretely mentioned the problem they have with their product names. The rep should have picked up on that. I've lost patience figuring out which models are which. I'm sure it's costing them sales for people like me. Why not throw in the overall size (M,S,L,XL) or assist (AS) like they do with the carbon fibre (CF). Or even a style grouping.
If I could ever get my hands on one, I would personally love a dang 0606CF. Not TOO happy about the size/blandness of the 0609, but I guess that's what I get to deal with since I didn't even know when the 0606CF went to market in the first place.
Great vid love the zero tolerance knives. I love the new hindered design with the blue on the grip, but would have to take the 999 if given a choice. Disclaimer: I own the 456 & 460, which are fantastic, and might have been my choice otherwise.
Is the 801 Ti sold out or discontintued ? Something about "holes in the show-side" (e.g. Benchmade Adamas)...me likes. And ZT does have a knife for Ben from ZT the "22"...it's a "5th pockewt" compact life...not cheap for the size...not sure if it has a 20cv blade...definitely sub 3" blade...
Hey guys, an idea for a KB episode: knives for long distance/thru hikes. Some things that factor in - weight is super important, also access, function (cutting food to cutting wood), durability. Some people take tiny knives they only ever cut string with, others start with huge fixed blades and may or may not finish with them. I've got a distance hike coming up and looking at options - thinking of taking two, a Ladybug 3 and an Izula, but would love your input, maybe with a long distance hiker as a guest? Many thanks.
Thanks Eric. For long trail hiking I'm looking for a base weight as low as possible. The Garberg seems like a heavy option at almost half a pound with a sheath. What would you say makes the extra weight worth the carry? Why do you think it's better for the needs of the trail than say a Rainier Fastpack at around 1/4 the weight? Thanks.
Yeah, lets ask a couple of soy swilling desk jockeys about knives for a thru hike. Great idea.
Brad is such a great designer. My favorite of all time
0350 is my current edc. Love that knife.
I'd love a video version of a coffee table book with every model of Zero Tolerance and every history tidbits
I'm digging the 562 or the 220.
I own 2 folding knives. A benchmade Griptilian which is my edc, and a Boker Magnum Starfighter.
My 0200 will always be my favorite. Gotta get a 0350 soon though.
I have a ZT 0700 BLK and must say it is quite robust. It is a g-10 scaled flipper, looks like titanium liner lock, s30v steel, flat grind kind of a tanto. Easily sharpens to like a razor and shaves my arm hair with no pressure needed. There is no play
If all their blades are like this I would not hesitate to buy another.
This video is nearly a year old to the day when I re-watched it. As of writing this comment the ZT 0393 is on the verge of discontinuation and I purchase one for $180 tonight at BladeHQ. I pulled the trigger not only for the price, but at the time of filming this video there was no way we knew about the upcoming ZT 0393GLCF for 2019, something I plan to get the moment its available.
Awesome video!! That 0850 tho! 😶😶
I love ZT (my favorite being the 0562) but I have an issue with the 0801TI... there’s a rattle when you shake it. I’ve handled others to make sure it wasn’t just mine and every 0801ti has this issue... it isn’t the only zt with this issue but once you hear it, it can’t be unheard
Can't believe you didn't mention the 0300 series.....those are BEASTS
I've always wanted an 0450!
Just got mine in carbon fiber 3 days ago.. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
0562CF is still my favorite EDC
The 0620 is an absolute unit of a knife
Triple 9 is what I would choose, hands down, just for the cool factor.
I come back and rewatch this video for 5:03
