Fred, No intentions of setting any bar LOL but I owe Jason for a favor way back even if he does not agree, he is a stand up guy that I planned on giving this knife to him anyway so no worries amigo I assure you all future pass arounds that I send out I will expect to be returned to me I bought myself a replacement for this ZT even before I sent it out, so please send your Busse out and everyone should know if they don't already they are VERY expensive and they should guard it with their lives while it is in their possesion

That is very sad to learn, he truly did a lot for us Gun Owners and will be missed

You got it Jason, actually my friend you can keep it I was going to send it to you after the pass around but it is now your knife Jason!

I have never owned one, but for 14 days I had a 2010 H3 as a rental. my honest opinion it was very cheaply made. My company paid for the rental so I used those 2 weeks as an evaluation period. The Panels felt cheap, the fenders were very thin and not at all as durable as a H1, or even a H2. The H2 was a much nicer vehicle I am not sure why they bothered with the H3, Get her a Super Crew Ford Raptor but if you cant sell that to the wife I would strongly consider what TGO David is telling you about the 4 runner is made much better and should last you longer

I think that you should speak with the parents, give them the opportunity to buy their child their first knife. As many have said on this thread that will become an important knife to a child and I think that it should last. My first knife given to me by my dad was a Buck 110 and I loved that knife. I am in no way suggesting getting them a 110, but you can do much better for not much more money Either way while it is a nice jester from you please do not buy them those knives as I guarantee you they will not last if used and that could be a huge disappointment to a scout How many Scouts are we talking about here?

Congrats!

The carbon scraper, the punch (on a new build) the cleaning brush all come in handy for me

Well I used this tool extensively mobilizing an ROV system, it is better than I expected. The fact that I can use this at my Job and then come home and use it on my AR-15's makes it well worth the money I am extremely impressed with it so far

You are absolutely correct they are worth every cent and more than they charge in my humble opinion. You still need to pick up a Sebenza if you have not and see just how awesome they are as well

Very cool video, thank you for sharing it

Very Very nice Eric!

Congrats, it will serve you well

Consider yourself in the waiting list, Guys send it to him next after everyone who spoke for it already

Yes I still do

You got it Jason Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk

Bryan, They are worth it!

Yes, I was surprised as well but I must say I really do like the size of it

Well I have had it for a week now and one thing this tool is huge compared to my wave it is a giant I hope that it will hold up as good as my wave has only time will tell but so far I am very happy with it

That is awesome

you got it man!

Eric, Mac will send it to you after his turn, Come on guys anyone else? I want all of you that would like to try this knife to get in on this

I just looked at that knife on EBay,you need to find out if that was a collaboration with Scott Cook the seller of the one on EBay claims that one is, it will be worth more if it it as Scott's work fetches some serious money. You should buy yourself a large Insingo Sebenza you already know how good Reeve fixed blades are his folding knives are outstanding as well

The tiger stripe on the blades comes from Mick Strider and company, the 0300 series of knives is a collaboration of Strider, Ken Onion and Kershaw the blades are striped with DLC coating

Eric, If I were you I would keep it, I have sold many knives for a serious profit and later regretted getting rid of them. I do personally believe the value will go up in the future as that is such a rare blade, so again if you do not need the money from the profit that you could make now, I would keep it. By the way that is awesome that Chris and company will send you the paperwork and box which will make it only increase in value

Today I got a Zero Tolerance 350. The ZT set me back $112, a hefty price for a knife but it was something I wanted and, I dunno, maybe it was my birthday. Or possibly I was a little drunk when I ordered it. No matter, it is here now. It’s nice and it is almost impossible to feel ripped off when you hold it. Hence, I am not sending it back. They can have my ZT when they pry it from my cold, dead fingers or offer a ZT 300 for in trade. Turns out I also have a Kershaw Blur. The blur runs 30 bucks. So the question is: was the ZT worth the extra eighty bucks? Got to say that the answer is, for me, a resounding: No friggin’ way! you seem to be contradicting yourself with these statements, if you are trying to say that it is not worth the extra money to you why on Earth would anyone have to pry it from your cold dead fingers? The blur has the ZT beat all the way. Where the ZT has G10 scales the blur has roughed up aluminum scales coated in grippy rubber. You can hold on to either knife with ease and I suppose that the ZT might be slightly better when gripping it while covered in blood I was unable to test this hypothesis. I strongly disagree with that opinion, but everyone is entitled to their own The blur snaps open a little faster than the ZT, likely owing the less substantial (but still beefy) blade. The Blur is a thumb stud only deal while the ZT has both thumb studs and a flipper. I couldn’t really get the thumb studs on the ZT to work but the flipper part was fine. We must have very different knives, my 0350 is faster than the Blurs that I have used The ZT has one of those Tungsten DLC coated blades while the Blur has a simple stonewashed blade. DLC coatings, from what I can tell, are nice to prevent corrosion, wear and add slickness for machine tools but I can’t tell that they are that useful with a knife. I say this because if it worked for machine tools the cutting part of the blade would be coated as well as the rest of the blade. The cutting part of the blade lacks the coating so, from what I can tell, the coating is mostly there to look tacticool. That said, If the entire blade was coated in a couple angstroms of DLC tungsten it probably would stay sharp longer this would never work, if you ever properly sharpen the knife, any coating will be sacrificed that is one of the several reasons companies do not apply DLC over a finished Edge while you’re stabbing a million zombies or opening 10,000 fed ex packages. From the manufacturing I really can’t tell that the coating is there for a good reason. I could be wrong. Both knives come plenty sharp put of the box (same company after all) but sharpness as an indicator of knife utility is misleading. A really sharp knife is impressive but cutting tools need to be sharpened to the intended use. If you’re doing eye surgery you need a very sharp, precise instrument. If you are quartering a chicken with a cleaver you want something less sharp, to sharp and you’ll be pulling it out of the cutting board too often. The knives are probably oversharp for a utility knife but to each their own. Eighty bucks is a lot right? Kershaw all the way? Hold on there for a second. The ZT is a much stouter beast. The liner lock is much thicker and the quality seems much better on the ZT. Eighty bucks better? Doubt it. But this has been an unfair competition. You can get a plainish blade for 30 bucks with a Kershaw blur but you can’t get a plainish blade from ZT. With ZT you’re getting a S30V blade. Here’s the thing: If you’re buying the equivalent blade, an S30V blur (they make those) you are into it for at least eighty bucks. Compared to the cost of the ZT you’d be crazy not to spring for the ZT. If you’re going for the best knife for the ducats, for the knife you’re going abuse and probably lose the cheapest Kershaw blur is probably your friend. If you’re going for a multiyear knife the difference between the Kershaw and ZT is substantial. Yes, a ZT 300 is on my buy list, I hope I can find one without the coating. The closest that you will get is the 0303, it has Tiger Stripes like the 301 and 302 but has Black G-10 scales Here is a picture of mine I had an S30V Blur and last week gave it to my stepson, they are very nice knives but I feel that the Zero Tolerance models are a notch above
