Zero Tolerance 0562CF...slicer grind!

One of ZT's best designs to date!

[@thomasraymond9318]

I think constantly Flipping open and closing the Blade causes Fatigue and flattering to the lock face and lock bar causing over travel of the lockbar! Great Video Sincerely Thomas Raymond.

[@dr.stevenpennym.d.3241]

Excellent video. Very nice knives

[@waveman0]

just bought a ZT0562CF and am going to as you have done and fit the full set of blue ti hardware, just wish they make a blue ti (or even stainless steel) pocket clip, to complete the blue theme. I also wish ZT had done the same as what Hinderer did on the XM-18 and added jimping on the flipper tab and include a lanyard attachment point (I am thinking a short back spacer with integrated lanyard hole.) though I am thinking I might be able to mod a pocket clip to serve as a lanyard attachment point.(I have contacted ZT and requested that they send me another pocket clip). Other than that the ZT0562CF is a great knife, one of my favorite ZT's of the 5 that I own (ZT0801Ti, ZT0804CF, ZT0920, ZT0456 and the aforementioned ZT0562CF) I have to say, while I love your custom CF scale my 0562 carbon fiber is slightly textured and not what I would describe as 'slippery', maybe they have changed them. I don't feel as though I have to replace mine as they seem fine so far.

[@CuttingEdgeWorks]

Orion thanks for watching and let us know how that all works out!

[@waveman0]

will do mate

[@ryansgr8]

Wow! That is beautiful. I'd love to get my hands on that hardware for my #ZT0562CFM390.

[@christopherherinckx7133]

I prefer 50-70 percent lockup when the lock surface is steel on steel. I want it to be strong! Even if I have to push a little more to disengage. Now everyone prefers the same thing, that mighe be why as well.

[@christopherherinckx7133]

not worried about it bottoming out, ZT will warranty it if it it wears that far not that it will. Steel doesnt wear back for a long time in my exp.

[@evanacey1414]

Where did you get that carbon fiber scale? And did you just order the hardware directly from Hinderer for the XM-18?? Or how did you go about getting it??

[@mistersmith3986]

This is the ONLY way I would like Carbon Fiber scales. The reason I don't do carbon fiber is because of no traction. I use all my knives as knives and not for show. I would love this knife a lot more if it had G10 scales on BOTH sides. Thanks for the video my Bladed Brother!!!

[@fatihcakmakci822]

Where the buy?

[@OnTheEdge5950]

Nice work!

[@ronnietarnacke5153]

Try tightning the pivot .. it will move the lock up back ..

[@dml4557]

[@robthomas6012]

Where did you get the scale and hardware?

[@Badmuthaa]

wow what a knife! I wish i could get one but Australian laws ban anything like this. Might go overseas and see if i can pick one up. Good review as always, keep up the good stuff.

[@CuttingEdgeWorks]

Thank you!

[@MatthewScheuerman]

+Moeyz69 Flipper knife laws in australia were overturned today! Go get one!

[@Badmuthaa]

Matthew Scheuerman NO WAY!!!

[@Pdro-gw7lu]

Moeyz69 bit late but yeah it's all gravy now bro, just imported a ZT0562 & a Spyderco PM2 with no problems at all :)

[@Badmuthaa]

yeah haha I know, they changed the laws. I ordered a Spyderco dragonfly a while back. loving the new laws

[@bradleyhannah8713]

I paid 190 for mine so was a great deal.

[@Trevlee74]

Flathead Screws! The only screw that should be used. :-) Maybe they wanted to keep the price $250 or below. and opted not to take the extra step to skeletonize the liner. It would have most likely added to the cost. Or not. Comparing the ZT and the Reate, and what is worth $60 more, you left out the most important option. At least most important to me. The ZT is made in America, and the Reate is made in China. I could never image paying that kind of money for a Chinese made product, when there is an US option. Obviously, if I want an iPad, Playstation, ect., I'm buying a product made in China. Of course that is just my personal taste and ideals. I do not cast judgement on others. Too each their own. Like everyone, I still like to share my personal opinion. Regarding the Quartermaster, can you really take them on their word when it comes to materials? Hard to shake that bad rep.

[@CuttingEdgeWorks]

Thank you for sharing your opinion! You bring up a very good topic, which I plan on doing a video on within the next month. Delayed a bit because I'm in the process of moving to another state. I am a proud veteran and American. That being said, I think that we should do our best to put our money back into our own economy....but sometimes it doesn't actually make sense to do so. If I were shopping for my first or second knife, I'd buy American....period. Since I have about 200 knives now, at this point I will buy whatever offers the most value, regardless of where it's from. I have a ton of USA made knives, but if I find out that Reate or Custom Knife Factory comes out with a new knife...there's a good chance I'll buy it and not feel bad about it at all. Quartermaster is crap. I've always had great experiences with their customer service, but their products are more of a novelty in my opinion. Thank you very much for watching!

[@Trevlee74]

You bet. I'll be watching.

[@theknifeconnection9571]

I think the liner was to thin to make much of a diff in skeletonizing

[@matthewstephens2928]

Beautiful knife, where did you get the carbon fiber scale and titanium hardware. I agree the factory scales are too slippery.

[@CuttingEdgeWorks]

Scale was sold on BladeHQ, and Titanium hardware was on ebay.

[@jmas2190]

Were could i get the pivot and srcews thats what i would change on mine.

[@ClintStrickwood]

Is the blade hitting the standoffs, when it is closed?

[@CuttingEdgeWorks]

+Scorch Nope, it has no problems like that at all.

[@NandoName]

I’d love to buy it from you

[@dml4557]

where can i buy those screws? i love them +Custom Edge Works

[@CuttingEdgeWorks]

Dani marañon I found mine on eBay

[@ClintStrickwood]

Hey I just searched for the titanium hardware on ebay, but can't seem to find it. Is it gone or do I just use the false search words?

[@CuttingEdgeWorks]

+Scorch I'm actually selling the knife on Ebay and yes, it seems the titanium hardware is very hard to find now.

[@ClintStrickwood]

+Custom Edge Works Link to the ebay sale please, might be interested.

[@gf4him]

A question about the clip and your custom scales. Would flipping the clip for left hand carry be a lot worse on placement and extraction due to the apparent texture on your mod? Also chewing up the pants pocket. I like your mod but not sure if it's worth it for LH carry. Thank you.

[@CuttingEdgeWorks]

Stand Straight Yes you are 100% correct. Would not be a good idea for LH carry.

[@bobclapper2672]

Nice. Id like to do mine in all bronze hardware , can you help ? Bob

[@Tbone42tx]

MXGGEAR.COM... THEY MIGHT HAVE THE HARDWARE IF NOT JUST GOOGLE IT!! I JUST GOT THE 0801BLK, AND THEY HAVE THE BRONZE AND BLUE I'M GETTING THE BLUE

[@threesons270]

So show side liner is Stainless?

[@blendingcolors3181]

Awesome! How did you manage to unscrew the stock screws on the 0562? Mine are locked tight as hell, probably because of the loktite. Already tried soaking the knife in boiling water, they still won't move.

[@theknifeconnection9571]

If you havnt got them out already. Use a torx screw driver with a cross bar for added leverage. The screws are extremely hardened. Mine is completely custom with ti screws and anodized American flag on the titanium . I wouldn't mind having this carbon scale though

[@Nerdferly]

Is that the marble cf scale at bladehq?

[@claynsen]

Sell me the original CF scale!

[@tommyd3jr]

as always nice review! hey would u like to sell ur stock cf scale?

[@dzod9574]

What grip is that and where did you get it ???

[@Tbirdshockey7]

Does the titanium pivot screw stay tighter than the stock ones? I was thinking of getting one but just wanted to make sure its worth it

[@CuttingEdgeWorks]

Kai Cathers This type of pivot requires Loctite, regardless of whether you stick with steel or titanium. Also, the titanium pivot made my lock-up a bit later. I ended up heat-anodizing the original steel pivot to the same blue color and use that now.

[@onpointedc4744]

what camera do you use for your videos?

[@CuttingEdgeWorks]

+The Knife Life Nothing special, Canon Vixia HFR42. I think it would do better if I could figure out how to setup better lighting.

[@onpointedc4744]

+Custom Edge Works ya I just started making some reviews with my phone, they didn't come out too bad had some lights setup with it

[@NandoName]

Do you still own this knife?

[@gammarayburst4763]

Where did you get the hardware and did it Fit good the pivot?

[@CuttingEdgeWorks]

Gamma Rayburst ebay and yes good fit on mine.

[@gammarayburst4763]
