Well, I'm sure most have you have seen pieces but here is the scoop.

Oh wow, that is absolutely awesome. Looks like I will be selling the 566.
 
Holy Crap... The prototypes are sick. I know they won't be exactly like that but man....

And I think this is the knife most wanted the 566 to be. They will sell plenty of these
 
Grrr. All these new good looking knives and none of them are liner or subframe locks. Throw us guys who work in the elements a bone KAI!

You need a place for mud to get between the scale and lockbar?
 
I'm actually... very interested in that.
I have an 0566 on the way. So I guess if I like that, I'll probably love the 562
 
Let us know if you guys can find out a release date! That CF m390 is seriously on my mind right now wow

Although not ZT, Kershaw's Camber would be a good option for you if a liner lock is what you prefer. Stay warm, man.

We just got out of a nasty cold snap here. I used my 0550 one day to take a branch off of a tree while it was about -20. Lock was a bit sticky from the frost after it came out of my pocket, but not so sticky it wouldn't close. I just use a thin pair of gloves ("mechanics" style) and it works out good for me.

Well, I'm definitely selling my 0566 to get one of those knives when they come out. And looking at those pics, I really like the look of the prototype without any blade markings. Just looks like a very clean and elegant, yet very badass...
 
They're bringing the heat this year. The 0620, 0562 and CQC -4,5,6 are all calling my name! Time to start selling stuff to support my knife habit!
