I also got a call today. He said everything is still on schedule, but I will be picking up the can at a different place on the west side. He also said they were working with the ATF to try to get any pending transfers expedited.

Update:
ZT sent me a 0562CF as a replacement to the 0561. I think I like this knife better. Its a little bit smaller and more comfortable. The pocket clip looks to be a better design.
Hopefully I don't have the same cracking problem. They are very similar in design.
Update. ZT is sending me a prepaid UPS shipping label. They said they will need to evaluate the knife, but they might be able to make an exception for an exchange. I asked if it could be replaced with a 0562CF.
The stud is hitting only on the steel liner side. I don't know if this is intended. I think it would be hard to get even stud engagement on a production knife.
I noticed this wkend that the blade has cracked again in the same place. I guess it will be going back. I may see if they will replace it with a different model. I don't really want to keep sending this in every couple of months.
I use a mixture of a product called alkalol, and Xlear saline mix. Those 2 things have helped me more than anything else. I was on antibiotics about 5 times a year prior to finding these products.
No asthma. but I developed, tree pollen, indoor molds, outdoor molds, dustmite, Ragweed, and other weed allergies at 31. I basically get no relief since I have allergies covering the entire year. Im considering getting allergy shots.
I guess I could have had them longer but they got bad at 31.
I got my knife back last week. Turn around time was about 2.5 wks. They replaced the blade and added a hardened insert to the frame lock.
They also put the original serial number on the new blade. This surprised me. I had always heard that the replacement blades have no markings.
A few years ago Spikes posted a photo of their assembly area on FB. In the back ground you could see a bunch of boxes that had Andersons logo on them. Someone asked if the boxes were from Anderson, and someone from Spikes replied "Yes". This started a discussion on who makes their uppers/Lowers...
Last night I noticed what I thought was a hair or a scratch on my ZT 0561. After further inspection I realized it was a crack. It cracked between the stud stop and the jimping.
Its disappointing but I'm sure ZT will take care of it.
