Great video review. Thanks for sharing. Awful nice of the folks at ZT to give you the chance to review these for us. (Thanks T). I've got both of these beauties on order and can't wait to play with them.
+Sea Pig ZT makes knives to be used no doubt about that. To me it just shows the level of detail they put into every knife even though they are a "production knife company". They don't take any shortcuts. The level of detail on these knives is as close to custom as your going to get out of a production knife company IMO. If you want a no frills hard use knife they have many to offer in their line, including the new Les George 0909.
if I pick up any new zts this year, these will definitely be the ones, I like the color manufacturers are using this year, zt, bm, and spyderco are all classing it up with color this year!
Love, love, love my 220. Got one from gpknives with a blue backspacer that matches the zt badge on the handle. Flipping action is the best of the six ZT's I own. Super comfortable in hand. The 456 is on my to buy list. Just ordered the 801ti. ZT is my favorite USA brand. I've been very impressed with WE knives from China and the value of Real Steel knives. I feel like brands like Real Steel and Ruike are better values than the Chinese made Kershaws or CRKTs.
You do good videos that's why you have them first. Thanks for doing them!!! I have the 0456 on pre order. what a nice knife. the clip will look good on my 0561 and vice versa. If the 0804cf wasn't dlc black I'd have that already. I can't do black blades. Wonder how "soon" kai means? I can not wait, I might have to get the 804cf and sand the blade down, and get the sinkevich when it releases.
+Knives, Guns, & Gear lil chunky, but the way it fills the hand makes up for it. Took a lil sabbatical from knives...Hard to keep up when they're so many interests to cater to. Sure you understand..lol. Later bud.
By the time you add a small sharpening choil to the 0220, the edge will be way out there. I'll likely pass on the 0220, but the 0456 is a definite buy, then get rid of the blue. I like the backspacer, but the clip and pivot are gaudy.
huh...i could have sworn that these were gold color...are my eyes deceiving me? or is it the lighting or what? If they aren't they sure should make them with that option! I would buy 2
love the 0220 but for what you pay it really pisses me off they won't give you a titanium clip at least , I don't mind the back spacer. They're clips work very well but I hate that damn black painted crap that wears horrible , I wished they would quit painting the damn things !!!
They're getting a bit too overzealous with the anodized accents for my liking. Just doing the bcakspacer or the stand=offs is one thing but these just look kinda... tacky. I prefer a more sterile look with maybe one small bit of colour to off-set it.
I was going to say that. I really agree, not to be harsh. I just thin ZT makes amazing knives. It just too overdone this year. Less is more for my edc role. Sort of flipping toys...
+TheAidansdaddy17 I think last year's models where more of the underdone type while these models add some good variety to the lineup. I personally really dig the colors

EDC Gear Reviews I’ve got the 0909 and absolutely love it.
Excellent review - I am diggin' *BOTH* these knives!
After watching this video I went and pre-ordered the 0456. I am sure the reason Kia sent them to you is you do such a good job with your videos.
Thanks man that means a lot!
Yes you are definitely one of the best
Thanks. You helped me decide on getting the 0456. A little late to the party but like you, I was deceived in pictures on size.
I actually saw this and liked it. Just forgot. Thanks again, Tyler
0456 is a beaut. Best one they came with this year. Great review. better than a SS booth review that's for sure.
videos
You are right. I apologize. I missed that on the first view. Nice review. The way you described the 0456 is pretty much exactly like I imagined it.
if I pick up any new zts this year, these will definitely be the ones, I like the color manufacturers are using this year, zt, bm, and spyderco are all classing it up with color this year!
What knife is tougher, the ZT 0220 or a Benchmade Adamas? I’m stuck between the two. I will be using the knife. Not just a looker.

I would take the clip off that pen and throw it on the 456....looks like the blues match perfectly and the screw pattern is the same?
You should suggest maybe they consider making a gold hue version. Kind of like the gold on the Ipad/iphone. I think people would buy it.
I am stupid excited about the 0456.
The 0456 is being held up because they need to finalize the color of the pivot? Are they making these for collectors or users?

I like the little bit of purple in the blue, done, release it already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice Christopher Ward. I love my C60.
Just the band is Chris ward it's actually on my steinhart Ocean 1.
Long time no speak bud. Just picked this 0456 up... Liking it! Take care.
Glad to hear you like it!

So excited and then..... Anodized aluminum!!! Which translates to chips, chips, and more chips....
Wouldn't that 0456 be considered sheepsfoot?
Anyway, these are some great looking knives and I'm glad it was you who got the opportunity to show us.
Yes it could. I appreciate it!

Jens is from Denmark by the way. 😊
I knew it was a Scandinavian country of some sort. Sometimes the mind goes blank on these videos. Lol
You mentioned that the 0456 costed more, but you failed to mention that was due to the fact that it used CTS204P steel...
I did mention the use of 204p in the video
Nice vid! Very informative.
For the size of my palm the 0220 feels awesome. No weight issue.
The action on mine is as good as it gets.
love the 0220 but for what you pay it really pisses me off they won't give you a titanium clip at least , I don't mind the back spacer. They're clips work very well but I hate that damn black painted crap that wears horrible , I wished they would quit painting the damn things !!!
Funny, dig the colors, otherwise so boring.
Are these knives or billboards ? Color & weight have to go... Two Thumbs DOWN !
