Gotta say I am very impressed with ZT customer service... I bent a clip on my 0770cf and they got me a new one delivered no questions asked in a weeks time... That's pretty awesomeThe knife world is indeed a rabbit hole and the cost just goes up from there, but you start to appreciate and realize the difference in quality and craftsmanship. @David Brown is the man you need to speak with on the kydex. He saw the thread so I'm sure he can help out.
