My knife collecting slowed down considerably when I bought my 0562CF because it's tough to find a better designed and constructed work knife. Solid.

[@carlosmatos9848]

I think everyone needs a Para 2 and a ZT 0562. Two of the most quintessential, top notch EDC knives imho.

[@nogps1225]

Both are exceptionally fine knives.

[@danmal333]

I have para 2 and i am not happy

[@reecemesser]

@@danmal333 Para sucks, they are ladies knives

[@nymphetamean]

Add a Benchmade 940 and we've got the trifecta of American production folders.

[@DeeDee-be1mo]

ZT562 is the one knife that ended my long journey searching an awesome EDC knives. I’m playing with both of these exact knives while watching this video. Thx for the upload

[@Foxrock321]

I have the new 0562 full Titanium ..and it came out of the box perfect..love love love it...flips like crazy..

[@Leadtothehead]

Just ordered the stars and stripes 0562TS. Very excited about it.

[@DeathBecomesHerDeathBecomesHer]

I ordered the 0562cf. Can't wait for it to get here.

[@metal_complex]

Great choice! You'll love it!

[@Apocalyptic-yr6uv]

This is my first knife that I said "yup I need them all now" as well I "collected" over the years but here and there.. I got this .. and I started ordering knives every month after this. I had only really bought ok knives up until this. It is a GREAT knife!!!

[@srsatlaf4730]

I have the ZT 0562CF and love it. Waiting to see what Rick Hinderer comes out with in 2021. Hoping possibly some new GEN7 upgrades on the XM-18 or Jurassic models. Possibly something new altogether?

[@spartanj2957]

My 2 favs.are the 562 cf.and the Benchmade 710-1401 with M390 and I just receiver my Z.T. 7 hrs.ago. It beat my expectations,

[@metal_complex]

I'm a huge fan of the 710 as well! Great design. Would love to get my hands on an m390 variant. Thanks for the comment!

[@highplainschipper6564]

Can't say as I blame him! Sweet blade for sure.i looked on the website and they are out of the black on black.Thanks for asking

[@kriztu]

I've been on and off thinking of the 0562. Beautiful knife, I just cant get over the double clutch when closing. Tsk tsk

[@andrewemerson9319]

0630 was my gateway knife. Gen 6 hinderer is a whole new animal.

[@randyf.9188]

The 0562 is definately my favorite ZT.

[@codydavis9467]

The 0562cf got me into an actual Hinderer. After owning both the Hinderer is great but for the cash it's hard to justify.

[@AnthonySmith-sc4zs]

The PM2 was my gateway. After 3 years of collecting, I’m finally getting the 0562CF. It’s on its way and I can’t wait to flip it open for the first time.

[@donnyh3497]

I did the same but opposite thing😄. My 1st was the 0562cf and 3 years later I got my PM2. I love them both. Now I just got my first Sebenza 31 and I can't put it down. I hope you love your ZT!

[@AnthonySmith-sc4zs]

@@donnyh3497 I do love it but I had an accident at work. I had to slide in between two pallets of boxes and the clip on the 0562 snapped off. Ooof. I’m waiting on the ZT warranty claim to be fulfilled right now. I’m carrying my small rhino sebenza 31 right now lol. We’ve got good taste.

[@donnyh3497]

@@AnthonySmith-sc4zs The rhino sebenza? Man you really do have good taste. Do you ever consider knives that aren't made in America? I have been eyeballing a WE upshot and a Quiet Carry waypoint. I'd like an opinion from another collector of similar taste.

[@AnthonySmith-sc4zs]

@@donnyh3497 I’d say those two brands were never on my radar until recently. I saw some WE knives the other day and was like “oh wow. I wouldn’t mind carrying one of those. Quiet carry has that low profile minimalist aspect going on that is admirable but my 31 checks all those boxes for me right now. I’d say if you like the aesthetics and it is everything you want in a knife go for it. I’d like to have a Shirogorov eventually.

[@AnthonySmith-sc4zs]

@@donnyh3497 I think I’m gonna try to get my hands on a TRM Shadow next if I can. Those are always sold out though.

[@KnifeCursed]

I like ZT overall but wish they did something other than frame locks as I’m not a fan of them. I’m a big fan of the AXIS lock and now that the patent expired.....

[@mikeflamion7915]

zts 0393 at least the one i purchased was not good at all when i moved the blade slowly i could feel every bearing lump across whatever and it wouldnt flip but evey othe time so that god they took it back and i ordered 2hinderer eklipses one spear and one bowie wich i am very happy with now my question is i sort of like the zt0562 is it a ok knife or should i just stick to purchasing higher end knives.? michael flamion

[@RickyHuse]

That knife looks better and better every time I see it

[@toddsulli6495]

Great video, man!

[@CatNaps33]

Put the carbon fiber scale on the 0562blk... that’s what I did and it is beautiful.

[@1911Funguy]

I unfortunately found out today that the liner on this knife is steel and not titanium. How did I come to this conclusion? My dehumidifier in my safe is inadequate and the liner had a good amount of rust on it. So do some other things in my safe. :(

[@oleboy7615]

The 0562 is the best folder produced by ZT, IMO. I've owned three others, which were good knives, but just didn't do it for me. The 0562 does it. I have the standard ELMAX steel knife, and I like it a lot. I actually just got it today, and got a gem of a deal from my local shop!

[@metal_complex]

I absolutely agree!

[@tac0805]

ZT 0562BLK is number one for me .

[@donaldwortham1661]

I have the flu one. I've probably opened and shut it 400 times. Still tight as a whistle. The pivot also tight. Have you had any trouble with your pivot coming loose?

[@metal_complex]

Nope! My original 0562CF's pivot never came loose, and both of these are still going strong!

[@BladeWalker77]

Hello, m390 steel is made by Bölher in Austria.

[@whyFINAL]

washers are maybe more durable, but KVT are just fine for knife. Just clean them from time to time.

[@richard66754]

The Swedish Chef would approve of the steel. Shmerga Shmerga shmerga.

[@captainsewerrat]

I'm not american but I'd rock a stars and stripe 0562BLK. You should consider uploading just on certain days, I can understand the enthusiasm to upload a ton very quickly if you're motivated, but the problem is, if life happens, you upload less regularly, people might be more annoyed. But if you give yourself a bit more breathing room, upload say 4 times a week, with breaks inbetween, you can still accumulate/built content in the meantime, but you're less pressured to film daily. Keep it up though!

[@metal_complex]

captainsewerrat great advice! You're absolutely correct. My goal is 4-5 uploads/week. I think thats reasonable and enough to hopefully keep people engaged.

[@captainsewerrat]

Perhaps start an accompanying IG account, post a thumbnail or a picture of the knife you're talking about, or one that represents a certain topic, adds a bit interactivity to it and broadens your exposure.

[@UltimateEnd0]

The best flipper in the world at a decent price.

[@highplainschipper6564]

Would your buddy sell that BLK Stars&stipes?

[@metal_complex]

I'll ask him for you. *UPDATE* He said he wants to keep it. You can get these designs from Scott at usamadeblade if you want one for yourself.

[@Aaron-lx3gz]

Nice Tundra. :P

[@jimkelly8123]

I agree best knife out there for edc

seems like it's all downhill from here. starting at the top makes much more sense, although counter intuitive.
