$125 for the Aluminum and $225 for the Titanium. I don't know how well they will sell at those prices. Hinderer Pens have done fairly well at lower cost, so I see them being ZT's biggest competition.

ZT has lost their minds on the prices on their knives. Ever since they went to MAP pricing I can't justify buying one.

The MAP pricing blows, but they did have a huge sale not too long ago. I would say these prices are fair, especially for a KVT Titanium Framelock with S35VN. There are cheaper alternatives, though. I paid $140 for a NIB ZT0561 and $150 for a slightly used DPx HEST/F Mil-Spec; It's all about shopping. Benchmade and Spyderco came out with some new knives as well, but it's the same deal... Forced MAP pricing.

I will say this, however, ZT's are very well built and their QC is very good for the price point. I've seen way worse from a $500 knife.

Good find! I didn't even think to look at Kershaw's new offerings.

The shuffle II looks like the perfect tailgating knife. I'm glad they fixed that horrid bottle opener from the original shuffle.

The difference is that benchmade and spyderco offer LE pricing

Kershaw has LEO/Military Discounts, but ZT has never had discounts

You should check out some of the new Benchmades. I have my eye on this one:

Prototype

Production w/ Serrations (I don't want those jagged teeth, but that's the only production pic out now):

You can find a used 0562 for around $150 and a used 0562cf for $180-200ish.
