Zero Tolerance ZT 0562 ELMAX Hinderer Slicer G10 Folding Knife USA discontinued

Description

Zero Tolerance and Rick Hinderer teamed up to build the new 0562 with its exclusive Hinderer "slicer" grind.  He set out to re-create his famous XM-18 hand made knife.  It turns out that he outdid himself and according to a review on GearJunkie.com, "Zero Tolerance 'Copy' Surpasses Original."  The author Anthony Sculimbrene also wrote, "This is the closest thing we have to a full production XM-18 and, having owned multiple copies of both, I can tell you that the 0562 is just a better knife. Price blind, it’s better. And if you factor in the ~0 savings over an XM-18, the Zero Tolerance 0562 is clearly the knife to buy."
The ELMAX® powdered steel blade with flat-ground “slicer” grind provides both slicing efficiency and a tough point. ELMAX is a third-generation powdered steel with virtually no nonmetallic inclusions. This means it offers an extremely uniform distribution of carbides for high wear and corrosion resistance. Zero Tolerance sharpens it to a hair popping edge and the ELMAX ensures it holds that edge for a long time, even under hard use.
The knife opens with a flipper and moves out of the handle on our smooth KVT ball-bearing opening system. A washer with caged ball bearings surrounds the pivot and makes opening the knife nearly frictionless; just pull back on the flipper and add a roll of the wrist and the 0562 is ready for action.
The handle has a G-10 textured scale in front and a titanium back. For secure lock up during use, ZT uses a frame lock with hardened steel lockbar inserts and lockbar stabilization so the lock won't overextend.
The unique pocketclip is reversible (left/right) and enables extra-deep carry in the pocket. .

This knife is in new condition.  I recently inherited it from my Dad, who never carried or used it.  The blade has never made a cut, so it still has its factory edge.  This is the discontinued version with the G10 handle and blade made of the Super Steel ELMAX. It seems to be a pretty rare and hard to find knife, as this is the only ELMAX version on eBay.  There is no box included but I will pack it very securely for shipping.  Don't hesitate to buy now because I'm pricing it to sell quickly (a good below market rate), and it won't be available for very long.
