Why? Gibbs knife.

[eveled]

The Gibbs knife.

Zero Tolerance had one of the greatest product placements ever and didn’t take advantage of it.

Why doesn’t ZT make a ton more of the knife Jethro Gibbs used in NCIS? It’s possibly the most sought after TV knife ever. Its the ZT0301 Tiger Stripe.

I’m not obsessed over getting one by any means, but I’d buy one if they came out again. Its the knife carried by the guy who wrote Rule #9 “Always carry a knife”

I just don’t understand why they refuse to make more.

It’s the same with The Walking Dead. There are several easily identified knives in that show…… then all of a sudden gone.

The 301 is a great knife!

what knife was identified on the walking dead?

What? The walking Dead didn't have any knives, don't worry about it. Nothing to see here

Busse Team Gemini Light Brigade … I think it was called

I may be one of the few, but no appeal for me.
I've seen the show, but I don't regularly watch it and ZT has never had a major appeal to me either.

but it does seem in general, that things that are popular have a way of not lasting

Of course they did. Daryl always had a knife. Busse's mostly.

Yea, had the black on black version. It was hefty knife but then realized it wasn’t very useful for me.

I forget which season it was when Daryl lost his Busse TGLB, but after that, the whole cast carried an assortment of Gerbers and a bunch of prop no-name type knives. Later in the series, Daryl used those two giant fighting knives with the o-rings on the guard, and I believe I recall reading somewhere that those were actually designed by Norman Reedus himself for the character.

Also on TWD, Rick used a Southern Grind Bad Monkey for a while.

I imagine that the amount of money ZT would be able to pay CBS is pretty negligible in the scope of a big TV show. A 30-second commercial during NCIS costs over $100k. A few years ago, the price was over $135k.

I think his point was that ZT missed the opportunity to pump out a bunch of 301s labeled Rule 9 or something.

I doubt it was done deliberately, but they certainly got some exposure from the show. It apparently is a sought after model because of the show. Why not capitalize on it?

Somehow I missed the Strider connection, so that alone is enough of a reason to not make anymore.

The kid Carl on walking dead was carrying a gerber basic fixed blade in an episode.

ZT doesn’t seem to do much right anymore.

If he'd only had this one!

 

[HexY3co]

Well expect to see some rule 9 ZT coming out soon. They are listening.

Cheaper to kill a Fungus Zombie ("Clicker") ... apparently Bucks are good enough
