Our friend Brad, check out Revolver Tactical! www.revolvertactical.com/ instagram.com/revolver_tactical/

[@carlstanland5333]

I like it but not for $200. I’d get the McBee and have $70 left over. .

[@clandestinetactical]

Carl Stanland I bought the mcbee .. it’s nicer and ya .. waaay cheaper

[@10Gauge]

100%, the McBee is better in every regard than the 0022.

[@stephencastillo7005]

On sale now at knifejoy and Blade HQ

[@DrBlazer50]

I have one and love it. I've been waiting for ZT to make a very small knife for more than a decade. I also ordered an MXG deep carry clip.

[@OneSickPuppy2000]

Hey guys! I love your videos! You've inspired me to break beyond the $70 cap I used to have on most tools. I just purchased a ZT 0562 CF with CPM 20CV! It's the best of Beautiful and hard use. I bought my first nice knife in 2003 (CRKT Carson M16) and haven't bought a daily carry knife like that since. I plan on using my ZT daily and I think it's construction will never fail me! Thanks again you two for doing reviews that you don't need to be a robot to follow! Love you guys! Thanks for helping me into nicer knives!

[@TMD994]

Brad is a great guy with great prices here locally. Would buy from him any day of the week.

[@Nerdferly]

The action on the zt 450 is awesome, I love it

[@everydaycarry1328]

One of my favs!

[@BonnieTheBelgian]

You guys are great, thanks for all the great content! I could sit here all day flipping open and close my Benchmades and binge watching you guys! Haha

[@BirdShotIV]

haha we appreciate it

[@allenshaffer1150]

You two might be my new favs I find myself really enjoying your guys vids

[@BirdShotIV]

thank you Allen!

[@freqeist]

I love that she makes everything sound saucy !

[@madisonjones2714]

yall crack me up good review

[@unclecow]

Another awesome knife video guys you come across some cool knifes

[@bzr160]

Most of the small knives your showing don't have lanyard holes,strange, as small knives need them the most.

[@quikness100]

LOVE the small knives! I have a SK Knives Doo-hickey and its smaller than the tracker jacker too lol. you guys need to get your hands on one of those too. Still need myself a tracker jacker

[@carysorensen3029]

I have many small knives and I might have to add this little beauty to the collection.

[@freqeist]

100% got mine today its a gem if you like small knives or live in a country that hates them you will not be disappointed

[@MajorC202]

Bought two so far from Brad. UTX-85 and a ZT 456 Ti. I plan on a few more exclusively with Revolver Tactical. 0450 CF is in my sights.

[@sealevelbear]

Every time I’m feeling “meh” about knives, I watch one of y’all’s videos and my knife enthusiasm rises again, swiftly. Thanks!

[@BirdShotIV]

haha awesome!

[@jasonclark8921]

Thanks for the video really enjoyed it.. I am looking at a few different micro or mini knives the ZT is nice.

[@BirdShotIV]

thank you Jason

[@MartinPeterWhitney]

I like the look of it! Will be getting one!

[@BirdShotIV]

awesome!

[@Danielvtec08]

I feel like they left the large clip on it to help keep pressure off the frame lock while opening, I had a hard time learning to open the megatherium because of my grip putting pressure on the frame lock

[@mythguard6865]

I met brad at Indy1500 and got my first benchmade!

[@mikeprice3064]

i have big hands like Bird and can't imagine a use for it but it's a looker. i did like the chubby yesterday

[@Kelocyde]

I love small knives. I have 8" hands from wrist to middle finger and a Kershaw Launch 4 fits perfectly (all four fingers on the handle.) It's 5.1". I feel like the "two finger" handle shape really prevents a decent grip on this knife.

[@justinespinosa7878]

It’s a wonderfully made knife and operates beautifully… too expensive? There are cheaper options, but this is quality!

[@tannersparrow5588]

Personally, I think the 0022 is not only two small, but way overpriced for what you're getting, just to think you could get a 0450cf for roughly $20 less just makes me shudder. I respect the small knife people out there (looking at you Frankie) but it's just not for me. I would love if they made a good but not super steel version for around $160-$180 and for sure you would have my attention, but with my large hands I just cant justify the price. Something about the $200+ range... it just looks alot more expensive than the math results. Would rather buy a Mcbee for the price since i don't mind having a super steel, and i've heard they are both great knives. So far i've liked Spyderco alot in the knives i've handled from them, very impressed. This one looks nice, but I just can't. :(

[@DoctorFrunkey]

Came for the ZT, stayed for the fact YOU FINALLY CALLED IT THE BIRDSHOT 4 CHANNEL!

[@BirdShotIV]

lol it happens from time to time, thanks Doc!

[@Rivy_ID]

I'd love to see a size comparison with this ZT and a Spyderco Manbug!

[@zoo2you]

I like it because I have small hands.

[@everydaycarry1328]

I’d like to see a sprint run 0450cf in 20CV with stonewashed titanium , similar to the ZDP189 sprint run.

[@Eric_Schon]

It's not how deep you fish, it's how you wiggle the worm.

[@BirdShotIV]

ha

[@hunterglaspell5580]

I know you guys aren’t Gerber fans, but you should check out the fastball. It’s right up your alley. I’ve had one for about a month and it’s a good Gerber. American made, s30v, ball bearing flipper with a great detent. Aluminum handles, mine came with Perfect centering and lockup. All for just 100$.

[@dr.stevenpennym.d.3241]

I like your videos. I also like the small ZT. I just received mine about an hour ago and the build quality is epic. The one thing I don’t like, is the badging on the clip. It’s not to small...I want to purchase the next size up. Recommendations?

[@dr.stevenpennym.d.3241]

I just ordered one through DLT Trading. With the premium materials and build quality, I hope it’s worth 200 clams.

[@thatguydennis2]

I like it. The thing with ZT though is you just wait a year and then the knife becomes seriously discounted when it’s discontinued. I don’t like the way they do the pricing because I know if I buy a new one it’ll just go on sale or have a cheaper sprint run later

[@joec8057]

Yup i got mine like $70 cheaper

[@marklawrence855]

Very cool little knife 😀

[@BirdShotIV]

thank you mark

[@mitchwells4990]

I looked at this at the store today I really thought it was just a novelty until I held it in my hand and I realized this seems for real I mean it is a functional knife

[@ocomegashadowstacking5886]

I like knifes handle big and small,

[@thenextarcher]

It would be a really sweet auto. As is its neat but not neat enough for me to buy.

[@joshjensen8143]

How would it fit in the kme jaws?

[@kevink.2719]

Kinda Small but wouldn't mind having one of those.

[@knives2my497]

The 0460 has that clip. 👍🏼

[@ericartman0]

Reminds me of Ganzo FH-61 which is 27 dollars on Amazon.

[@annieetc.563]

i'd carry one if i had it, it definitely has some applications imo. but i wouldn't buy one for full price , plus there's lots of other cool small knives i like more for less

[@reaperjoe6701]

Too small for the price in my book. Be nice if it was a little bit cheaper

[@ohioknifelover]

Reaper Joe Agreed

[@randyf.9188]

I guess it works for some, too small for me (XL hands myself). I would like a 0451. The 0450 is even a bit small, and the 0452 is more than I need daily.

[@everydaycarry1328]

I’ve been saying this for a while now. It would be the perfect size. About a 3.5” blade

[@julianmcclintock4763]

I want this for my collection but not gonna happen at 200 bones. I get that the a similar amount of work goes into making it but it's not the same amount of usefulness to me. They should have sold this at 120 max (even then it feels like a stretch).

[@danielmorcom1675]

That clip is on the 0460

[@yamsi12]

Too small. Too expensive. ZT has been slippin lately.

[@wrliggin2]

Still looks wonderfully made, but $200 is insane when the Spyderco McBee is $130 and just as well constructed. I could see $150 maybe. But at the current price, it's an immediate no

[@marklueke]

between this, the benchmade sibert and the spydie techno 2 I'm wondering why these companies are charging ridiculous prices for less materials used

[@555_MACH]

Just ordered one on sale for 159

[@willywonka200000]

For sale on KnifeJoy for $129 😳

[@anything_knife_related5647]

I’m a lefty and I buy any knife that appeals to me. I can operate any knife left handed or right handed but I Carry in the right pocket so right hand carry only doesn’t bother me. I like this knife and would purchase but wish it was a bit bigger. I just ordered a reate t2500 how does this compare in size.

[@BirdShotIV]

the Reate would be a bit bigger than the 22

[@toddstamos89]

I like it, however because the Spyderco Lil’ Native already fills my need for a little folder (and I have no need for anything smaller), I have no desire to spend $200 for this. At a much less price, maybe. MUCH lower price.

[@forgedbydragon9683]

They should make this design but with a 4 inch blade and like a 5 inch handle for those of us with large hands I love my 801ti buy it is a little small for my hand

[@plainscrafter5374]

How does it compare in hand to the Bestech Zen?

[@BirdShotIV]

we should have gotten that one out too

[@amunderdog]

Overall Length: 6" - That is about my limit that direction.

[@m1henry]

If I'm going small then I would go with Reate Tashi Bharucha T2500 or Bestech Isham Reticulan over this all day long. Twice on Tuesday. I hate fun little novelty knives. Give me something I can use.

[@tejano76]

👍

[@xyzl248]

i kind of like it just for the novelty factor, unfortunately the pricing isn't even close to being reasonable

[@BirdShotIV]

thank you David P

[@jimcarlin9660]

remove the flipper, make it in a slipjoint version (for the uk guys) and this would be my grail knife!!! stunning little knife.

[@Nerdferly]

So, shall I send it?

[@player1dad808]

Not my tiny cup of tea but you could do a lot worse if all you need is a little letter opener or tape cutter. But honestly there's a lot of little flippers you could pick for the price or less.

[@BirdShotIV]

thank you player1dad

[@gbiscuits]

im a guy but i relate to frankies hands more. lol

[@daveglarner2138]

Did she just say technique-ly? It fits. It sounds like a "technically" if it were very small. I think it's too small, but at the same time, I do like the McBee. Yeah. I'm stumped.

[@TheKnifeJunkie]

For the price, I’d say they jumped the shark.

[@vlkafenryka788]

it looks tiny in Frankies hands .. no its too small .. if it was like 100 bucks maybe but 200 no

[@ebosspt]

I think the name of the channel is "birdshot eye-vee". Nick Shabbaz says it that way, so there's a good chance you guys are probably wrong. ;)

[@BirdShotIV]

lol this could be true

[@woodyplatapus]

Not paying same amount of moneys for 1/4 the knife

[@davidtate166]

Its small .drop in your pocket.backup blade.?

[@CVNOU]

For those who don’t dig this knife just keep in mind what Kershaw says, “Every knife isn’t for every user”. Or to paraphrase West World - This knife wasn’t meant for you. If the niche marketing strategy ZT is employing with the creation of this knife pays off, it’s a win for all of us.

[@freqeist]

well its perfect for England but its STILL illegal ! Anyway I got mine today and if I pretend that I open with two hands..bingo! Oh I`m a lefty but ambidextrous with this baby !

[@7DICE77]

Serge bean anyone ? Thoughts ?

[@BirdShotIV]

we want one of those!

[@stegmonjurvinweirdt1834]

size does or does not matter? it depends on what you speak of . . . while watching this vid I'm eating bean dip and Trisscuits. I now have a wheat fiber splinter stuck in the roof of my mouth . . .

[@BigShaneGillis]

Very Bestech Engine-ish

[@BirdShotIV]

hmm, we should have gotten it out

[@Rick-29]

Don't really have a problem with the size, but the price is to rich for my blood

[@pspadotto]

Yeah, I like the knife, but I don't like it $200. I wish there was a middle ground between Kershaw's crappy steel and ZT's "haute" design, where you could just buy knives for days.

[@SamuraiChris78]

Innuendos the video! LMAO!!!

[@diadora9292]

$100 at out Gander Outdoors.

[@nathanthomas4630]

I would pass, too small maybe if it was an inch bigger.

[@hondasaki900]

Nathan Thomas - 2.5 - 2.75 blade, yeah

[@TheRCNetwork]

Cool knife, but not worth $200 - the 0450cf is $180

[@BirdShotIV]

thanks for watching!

[@myalligator3353]

Hi

[@BirdShotIV]

1st!

[@myalligator3353]

Hi guys

[@kenmarapese9085]

I like the blade, but the handle is to small.

[@davegoodridge8352]

Nice little knife, it would be easy to carry.

[@addicted2knives171]

To small I am always disappointed when I buy a knife, don't read it comes and it's blade is under 3 inches.

[@MiguelTorres-hg1kn]

I love ZT's but this is way too small.

[@deadpoollee9497]

This is the most sexual knife review ever

[@BirdShotIV]

Man, I thought this one was super clean. You must be new to the channel! Welcome Deadpool Lee! Lol -Frankie

[@mosherogoff1252]

So....if ZT made it an auto, it would be CA legal! Hmmmm

[@ubob38]

Keychain

[@johnbowen5336]

They still managed to get the blade stock too thick and overprice it by about $50. Typical ZT.

[@raymondlee3318]

$100 per inch? Yikes!

[@Brewhound77]

Should you buy it? Probably not, there are tons of great knives for $200 that you guys would be way happier with.
