Weird, weird...weird! My dealer has the 0393BRZ in stock as of today but still no 0462!? I don't wanna bug him about it though. I thought about buying the BRZ but I KNOW once I place my order, come monday/mid next week the 0462 is gonna pop up. *grumbles* Well if I have to I can ask him to set aside a BRZ (he has plenty right now) if I see him getting low on stock, and I can possibly shell out the money next month.

Ok Guys just pulled her out of the box and gave her the once over .
Wow I’m impressed and loving this bronze it looks so much better in person.Its a very low key bronze color and really looks nice against the black g10 . It’s seems to have more grip then my blue 0393 but I’m sure that’s jist luck of draw but my blue felt great to me to . The action is outstanding just like my other . I’ll try to post some pics in a bit with the Hinderer flamed clip and filler tab .
What a sweet knife ! I’m going out on a limb here but these 0393’s might just might be my all around favorite bang for the buck knife in all areas . Pictures do not do this bronze justice as it looks so much better in person . I’ll try to post better pics tomorrow with natural lighting .
Say hello to ZT 0393 BRZ Serial # 096

Wow - it looks great! You did well! Did they offer a flamed pivot as well?Ok here you go it was a match made in heaven . The Hinderer flamed clip and filler tab was a perfect match !!!!!!

I don’t think they do but that would be sweet ! I’ll have to take a closer look on Hinderers web site just to be sure though

, when you started this thread, I thought this guy is obsessed with this damn knife. 
Like I stated earlier the blue just doesn't do it for me. I opted to get the 462 done in bronze/purple scratch from Whitty. Man, that knife is sweet. I like everything about it. Well, I ponied up and got the Bronze 393 because the colors are what I like. I just got it in today, I now understand why you're obsessed with it 
. The biggest plus for me is the G10 overlay. With me being left handed, there's no pressure being put on the lock bar and I don't have to worry about thumb placement . I might like this knife better than the 392.............................. Yes I said it.

It isn't a safe queen - and that's a huge plus in its favor. Enough to consider the sale of a 0392 that's too nice to use.I’m glad your happy as I’m sure your aware so am I

I’m a user and or collector .!Really just depends on the knife or my mood .It isn't a safe queen - and that's a huge plus in its favor. Enough to consider the sale of a 0392 that's too nice to use.
Sometimes I will put one up for sale just for the fun of it and sometimes close the sales thread just as fast
How much a knife costs or how nice it is has normally very little to do if it gets used . Sometimes how rare one is will influence me though . I’ve had four digit Custom Striders and carried it to work cut rope used it a lot and also on my off time .Really just depends on the knife .
Edit: I must admit after giving it some more thought there were some exceptions were I felt a knife was so nice and such a perfect example That I wouldn’t carry it
My ZT 0392 being one that falls into both categories as far as a perfect example and rare/sold out .

I'm no expert, but I just got mine and the blade look like my PVD knives, specifically Benchmade's, and the handle looks like it was anodized blackish. Definitely not like my other ZT BLK knives in DLC.

No expert here either, but I did read (somewhere) that anodizing titanium black was a specialized process and generally not done. Seems the anodizing color range for titanium is somewhat limited - which is also why you don't see red. I think green is also tough to pull off. Blue, bronze, gold, purple, magenta seem to be the most common.
