Some have gen 2 versions which are replacing old style models. (0560, 0561)

Relax Rhino, as always, I've got your back. I'll have a 550 and a 301ST in Ranger Green waiting for you at work in the morning. $2000 cash or in gold at spot price!

I doubt they'll discontinue the 0300. Its one of there more popular knives

ZT has offically announced that the 0300 will be discontinued at the start of 2015.

Normally most companies have a pretty good reserve of spare parts for models that get discontinued, and will continue to service discontinued models until the parts dry up. At that point, if they can not service your knife, they will offer you a knife of equal value that is currently being made. I'm not sure that ZT will do this, but this is the normal protocol in the knife industry.

Thanks. Trying to determine if I should just pick up a "BLEM" at a significant discount if they're being discontinued anyway.

I cant believe the 0560 is on that list. They should re-release it with a steel lock bar insert like the 801.
