Pretty slick unit , probably as close as I'll ever get to a Hinderer . Any experience anyone ?

I haven't handled one yet, but its one that I have my eye on. Its one of the few zt knives that I liked. If you wind up getting one I would love to hear what you think about it.

This knife is getting a lot of love on the knife forums.  I bought one (peer pressure), and sold it about a week later.  It just didn't flip my switch - and I almost never sell a knife from my hoard.  It was just a lot of coinage for a knife that I didn't dig.  I can't say there was anything wrong with the design or execution.  Its a sweet flipper with sculpted G10, titanium and Elmax.  But I kept thinking, "for $260, I could have a black Para 2, a green Delica FFG, and $80 left over."  But many folks who own one seem to think its the best thing ever.

I'm just afraid that it won't be everything I am expecting. I do happen to really want a good flipper.

I kinda wish it was a smaller piece . I prefer the 2.5"-3" range .

A dealer in Toronto has a few , I'll drop by and play a bit .

My concern would be the other direction - the 560 is a very nice knife, but at $260 street (and more up here in little Canadia)  that's getting perilously close to some very well-regarded custom knives.  I mean, for that price I could look at a Butch Ball Lil Konvic, or a Three Sisters Forge Beast.

Still cheap compared to a Hinderer , but good point.
