ZT 0562 regrind pics

[maximus83]

This ZT 0562cf was done in a regrind by @razor-edge-knives. A great knife without it, but pleased with the finish and slicey performance from the regrind.

Specs:

• Spine width before and after: 0.160"
• Weight: before - 5.45oz; after - 5.35oz

Results:

• Blade passes informal sharpness tests in @wootzblade sharpness chart up to shaving arm hair and can fillet a curl off thin receipt paper.
• Simple food prep tests, sliced a wedge out of an apple without splitting. Held a cherry tomato upright, did a single draw-cut slice thru it leaving the slice on the blade.

The 0562 is a great knife but the standard grind makes it a poor slicer IMO
I would like to have mine regrinded

Cool, I really liked the 0562, but the edge was too thick to do much with.

Nice clean lines on that one, congrats on the new old blade!

Thinner blades are always better slicers. There is nothing secret about it. I often look other models like Spyderco for good slicers.

The reground ZT0562 looks great, but I imagine the additional cost will be nontrivial.

It looks awesome! I really like ZT but find most of them thicker behind the edgee than I would like. Op, I’ll bet the performance of your 0562 is amazing. Congratulations!

I always thought that the 0562cf was one of the better slicing knives from zt. But not as good as say a Spyderco.

Now I want to regrind all my zt's. Wish it wasn't so expensive tho.
