“Here Gertrude I got you” Gertrude: “Omg it’s So big”

@randyf.9188 4 года назад

I would like to see a 0451. The 0450 is a bit small, while the 0452 is more than I need for most tasks. I had the blue Ti, but ended up selling it. It freaked out Gertrude. 😄

@michaeldillon4499 2 года назад

I've owned my zt for 3 years it's my favorite knife. Very glad I purchased it.

@petermccann2561 8 месяцев назад

I grew up before the great pussification, when a 4" Buck 110 was common, and no one ever called it "big and scary". Sounds silly, to me.

@MrTrainwreck003 3 года назад

I've been bitten by the cutlery bug and have started a small collection. Because of your videos I've learned a lot. Just wondering if there was a universal product for sharpening knives or maybe point me in the right direction to learn how or what to use

@chrishinkle5982 4 года назад

I have the 0450cf and I love it my only complaint is its a tiny bit smaller than I like so I feel like I would love this just have not handled it yet. Thanks for sharing MC

@slasher667 2 года назад

I’ve got a lot of knives, Benchmades, sogs, spyderco etc and since getting this knife it’s been the only thing I’ve been carrying, once in a while when I want a beater I’ll grab my Benchmade 810 contego but 99% of the time I’m carrying the 0452, it’s classy, cuts great and can handle big jobs, love it

@KidCorporate 3 года назад

Been my daily driver for 5+ years, simply fantastic piece. I switched the clip out and it's been perfect ever since.

@jeffhicks8428 10 месяцев назад

same. I did a regrind on it right out of the box and it's perfect. the blade is way to thick stock, it's a pry bar with an edge. Now mine cuts like a kitchen knife.

My own variant of “Gertrude” used my Spyderco K2 to open a box. Felt VERY weird handing that to her.

My 0452CF is in the 14,000 range for the serial number and was already drop shut when I got it, but I've installed some aftermarket MRBS cages and now it can go toe to toe with my Norseman in terms of fall shut smoothness.

One of my most favorite pocket knives ever!

@timm5358 4 года назад

Sold my 0452 because I thought the 0562 was better. Boy was I wrong, after a few months of use, I started to get annoyed by the "thumbstuds" these scrape your finger on cIosing the knive, the curved flipper feels oversized and not comfortable compared to the 0452 and it doesn't fly open as nicely as the 0452, its the lenght of the blade that makes the difference there. So I sold the 0562, and pruchased the 0452 again.. prefer the pocket sword over the hinderer.

@car350zmm 4 года назад

Hello Metal, I was wondering if you have any opinions on some videos showing the lock fail on some ZT's. I dont want to be a troll, just want to know what do you think about that. Thanks a lot!

@metal_complex 4 года назад

I think it's definitely an issue, just nowhere near as big as people made it out to be. There aren't nearly as many models affected as people claim. It's also something that occurred on older models from a year or two ago and beyond. Newer ZT models are fine. You'll still hear claims of newer ZTs failing, but you'll find that those people rarely offer video evidence of newer (2018 +) ZT knives failing. They just say something like "ZT's have lock failures" and then fall silent when you ask for evidence, or they'll refer to an outdated video, or one that shows force that would disengage ANY framelock, which is nonsense. I have personally never experienced lock failure on any ZT knives. New or old 👍

What state are you in? Here in WY showing this would get you the Crocodile Dundee treatment - "That ain't a knoife....' or 'you have shown me your jewelry, now show me your guns." I'll be the first to admit that both my knife and primary carry gun are jewelry as much as anything else even though they are both large.

@Southernknife_addict 2 года назад

Just ordered one of these from dlt I got the 0562cf last week and liked it so much I had to have the bigger cousin lmao

@flywheel9759 2 года назад

Me and the wife had a Croc Dundee moment in a parking garage with a couple of thug life youngsters. They loudly demanded my keys while flashing a couple of cheap 3 inchers, I snapped the 0452 open and said "OK, Let's dance!" They left in a hurry without the keys. Now that's a knife! The wife thought I should have just handed the keys over.....Oh well, she got in a better mood as we drove our non stolen vehicle home. Highly recommend this ZT

@SeemsLogical 4 года назад

I want this knife and would totally own it by now if not for New York law saying any bladeover 4 inches is illegal. What's ironic is that my local knife stores stock these regularly and they are popular sellers. Still a beautiful knife but go figure.

@ShadyCool 2 года назад

Knife hall monitors in state legislatures never fail to prove they’re morons when it comes to the country’s knife laws. Most people are killed with everyday kitchen knives, not knives like this or auto folders/OTF’s.

@esfahan1961 4 года назад

Bought the ZT 0452GL CF last year and I love it. But my latest purchase was a CRK Impinda. Both are great but very, very different.

I purchased this when it first came out after handling it a couple of times and passing on it because of the clip! Now there are too many knives to carry, so this one is forgotten. I have to add, that this is one that I will keep though. Thanks for reminding me to not buy so many knives! Will I buy another one this weekend? Definitely!

@jasonlott9650 4 года назад

Why are you bothered by the smaller body screws? Most of my folders utilize larger torx on the pivot than on the body screws. Also, the pocket clip on this knife is NOT ADEQUATE for the length and weight of this knife! Don't ask me how I know...

@ShadyCool 2 года назад

As Metal Complex has shared before, T6 screws are prone to stripping. That’s why he favors T8 screws over T6.
