Pre-order perks: Anyone participating in the Z-12 pre-order can take advantage of the following perks.
1. Choice of kydex print at no extra charge. Instead of standard black kydex you can choose a print or pattern at no up charge.
2. Opertunity to tweak designs. Want a longer blade length? Longer handle? Hybrid of two designs? Let me know and I’ll see how close we can get. (There are limitations to designs that can be discussed)
Zapp Z-12 Ultra is designed to be a competitor to CPM 10V. Zapp claims higher wear resistance and toughness over 10V
From my brief testing it does in deed out perform CPM 10V by a small margin.
It grinds and finished very similarly to 10V which is no easy task.
These Blades will be made with 1/8th Z-12 Ultra stock hardened to a target hardness of 65-66 HRC.
Canvas Micarta or Richlite with a liner is included with the base price. I have a plethora of handle material to choose from if you know what you'd like let me know in the order notes if not that's okay I'll reach out to discuss.
Base Price is as follows.
Seeker: $315
Splinter: $325
Vulture: $325
Comet: $325
X23: $325
Orion: $325
Apache: $325
Hunter: $325
Simply Select Which model you's like, Grind Height, and if you'd like kydex or not.
Due to the slightly thicker stock I’ve added a tapered tang as an option. Selecting this option will add $40 to the final build price.
Photos provided are examples of the knives. The knives in the photos show upgraded handle material.
Additional models could be an option if you’re seeking a model not listed here please contact me.
Before starting your build I will contact you to discuss/ confirm handle materials. I will make at least 3 attempts to contact you to confirm your build. If I cannot get in contact your Pre-order slots may be forfeited based on demand.
Builds will be invoiced when they start and have a completion time of 1 month. Estimated start date of the Z-12 pre order is April 2025.
