I would agree that it is mostly just a showcase of their abilities. Can't find any reason besides that why they made a composite blade 0f 204p and d2. Still cool though
That knife looks very beautiful, do want 1, but I don't think I could afford it, even if I can, the knife will just seating in the box and will never see the sun light.
Absolutely love the blade shape, grind and handle shape. I agree with others that the embellishments are excessive and gaudy, but I understand this more of a "conceptual" design much like the auto industry puts out concept cars every year. Really hope the general blade and handle shapes (sans embellishments) trickle down to a more practical production model for 2018.
Great Video!! I 100% agree with everything you said. I got one and am making myself wait to open it on Christmas, along with the 0606cf, so your videos have been helping calm that urge. Good stuff. Should pair nicely with my 0777, and 0888, and funny enough, it looks like if those 2 had a kid, it would turn out like the 0999. lol
If you could mate that integral spine blade stop/flipper whole design with Cold Steels Triad lock and more maintenace friendly styling, I think that would be the perfect knife design.
Incredible mechanical detail. The most sophisticated design I've ever seen. $750 is way out of my budget for a knife, but IMO totally worth it. A definite collector's item. Thanks for the video.
Great over view, as always, I really like this design. How do you feel the stop bar will hold up over time. Do you think the ti will dis-form over the course of hundred of flips??
Wish I knew. I think one primary difference is that this design will allow for some flex in the TI versus a hardened stop pin that does not give while pinned between two handles. The allowable flex may save the Ti from deformation in the same way that a skyscraper sways so it doesn't break. This is all speculation on my part though.
This is a grail knife in every sense and even more so that she’s not filled of gold and diamonds and the rest of the bells and whistles that makers will add to warrant their rare concept models having the price and respect they design it for. I’d sport her in pocket as well.
It really sucks for me that just this month there was no way I could afford this one. I hope for some nice future limited editions but this one is simply amazing.
@@EpicSnuggleBunny You mean it's just a matter of courage? Hey - I'll send you a fifth of bourbon! ;D Kidding, those must fetch some really serious coin these days. A grail knife if there ever was one; but they're absolutely stunning. This one is pretty close, though.
This knife is AMAZING. O_O Have you read the articles from EveryDayCommentary on the custom knife bubble? He mentions the ZT triples as an indicator of why many production companies are beating custom makers. See this, I can't disagree. lol
funny though, there's already a knife from china copying 0427's blade and handle design, and very well-made with m390 steel (not an exact clone and no logo)
vxgas M390 is a European steel, I don't for a second believe the Chinese clone factories would have it. You'll probably get something like AUS-8. Don't buy into the copycats' lies.
I enjoyed your showcase as always and this is an incredible blade - THIS is why I like to buy ZT knives when I have the opportunity. Can I afford this? No, not really if I'm being realistic but the fact they are capable of making these (in a production run, not as a one-off custom or prototype) tells me all I need to know about their abilities.
I don't have anything usefull to add but... how should one approach this review when you're wearing a nice watch, presenting also an expensive and beautiful knife while you clearly cannot tell a difference between a nail file and teeth?
the two things I dislike are cheap pivot and jacked up price. the design looks nice but it looks like a microtech combined with custom knife from russia. love it but hate it at the same time. lol
Cool knife not a EDC for most 4 sure...there EDC R great only thing I dislike on there knives R the bill boards on the blades saying ZT and all there numbers just takes away from there great looks...at the price this one went 4 you can buy a costom from many other makers...But cool video and love the knife.
That is one spaceship looking knife
I would agree that it is mostly just a showcase of their abilities. Can't find any reason besides that why they made a composite blade 0f 204p and d2. Still cool though
Jesus Christ. Such crazy amazing knives run thru this guys hands
That knife looks very beautiful, do want 1, but I don't think I could afford it, even if I can, the knife will just seating in the box and will never see the sun light.
I had it in my cart but couldn't pay in time!!! Nice score. What a great knife!
Beautiful knife. It would be interesting to hear what your thoughts are on the new ZT 0990 (ZT’s smaller and affordable version of the 0999).

That is more than just a knife.. Its a piece of engineering art !!! Beautiful and perfectly created !!

ZT needs to incorporate that blade shape in a production knife. Looks amazing!

ESB- Cool, futuristic design. You could have designed this with a little LSD and a Transformer movie marathon. Enjoy that wild knife.
haha, Awesome description!
You have to carry that bad boy!!
Gorgeous blade, enjoy it!
My god this is incredible.
It really sucks for me that just this month there was no way I could afford this one. I hope for some nice future limited editions but this one is simply amazing.
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
Do you have the ZT 0888, the most iconic folding knife of all time, IMHO?
Nope, I was never able to get one when they were first released, and I haven't mustered the courage to pay secondary for one now.
@@EpicSnuggleBunny You mean it's just a matter of courage? Hey - I'll send you a fifth of bourbon! ;D Kidding, those must fetch some really serious coin these days. A grail knife if there ever was one; but they're absolutely stunning.

Amazing build! hope it is toned down a bit and make it to production. Super nice though! Thank's
Crazy sad I missed out on this one wow... Beautiful man really glad you got one for review.
you're videos are incredible. one thing, could you please put the MSRP of the knife you're reviewing in the description? thank you
Will do
What about MSRP of this one? That's one hell of a knife.
EpicSnuggleBunny thank you sir
Beautiful knife....appears to be ahead of its time
Jim was high as fuck when he came up with this
The final product looks great, I'm disappointed I missed out on it.
Absolutely beautiful knife. Thanks for sharing.

A small gap on the back of the handle between the titanium and the carbon fiber
very nice as you say a bit of a showcase piece but great knife
I would love to have the m390 0777cf even the 0850cf
It has a lot of Todd Begg lines and appearence to it .
What kind of watch are you wearing in this viedeo,is it a Steinhart Ocean One? It looks gorgeous! The knife is to 'mafionisch',imo! Regards Oni
Steinhart Ocean 44
very nice! Thank you,sir!
I need this LOL! When are you selling it?
When are you sending me a treasure chest full of money? :P
EpicSnuggleBunny Any time Bro LOL! How did you get it?
This knife is AMAZING. O_O Have you read the articles from EveryDayCommentary on the custom knife bubble? He mentions the ZT triples as an indicator of why many production companies are beating custom makers. See this, I can't disagree. lol
bad ass 👊 @epicsnugglebunny but remember we still have the 0427 Sinkevich limited edition slated for 2017

My wallet hurts just thinking about it.

I like my 0777 and my 0999, i wish I wasn't so afraid to hurt them.
Just picked up a 777 on eBay now I want one of these!!!!
These are crazy expensive now
I know they are. I paid a small fortune for the 0777. I’m willing to spend to get one.
@@brandonbishop7932 Nice!
anyway I have ordered two, I live in UK so customs will get xmas presents as usual..
Arnold would love this!
Beautiful knife! Great review!!
How much did it cost?
They were $750 brand new. These days, you'll find them costing 2x as much, or more.
Does it baton good?
Absolutely, I prefer to baton with this rather than a fixed blade or hatchet.
It reminded me of the game halo
A knife like that needs no rationale.
Well said
I'd carry it. Why not? It has a pocket clip. I used to EDC a MSC RC custom that cost more than this.
Gorgeous knife.
Zero tolerance of super knives👍👍👍👍👍👍
Congrats on securing one!
its beautiful to me
is it strong?
+dfcvda
What do you mean by "strong?"

Definitely a transformer
