My first ZT

[daddyo]

It came in the mail yesterday.

0350SW



My name is DaddyO, and I'm addicted to knives....

[mikegideon]

You've done it now! I bought a plain 350 with DLC blade, then a 200, 300, 550, and 561. Great knives.

 

You gotta love the way that blade deploys. It ain't shy at all.

I took the torsion bar out. Works great as a manual.

Yep, this didn't help my addiction at all!

[mikegideon]

You would probably love the 200. It's lumpier in your pocket, but awesome in your hand. 

[Monkeyman2500]

I love mine. Two years with lots of work on it. Still looks and works great.

Yep. The 0350 was and is my first ZT. Won't be my last.

 

Love the "flipper" if it is any easier to open with the torsion bar removed, I won't be able to stand it. 

 

My only complaint is that it's a little bigger than I really wanted, do I'll have to look at some of the other models.

[mikegideon]

I think my 350 is my smallest ZT. I don't think they come any smaller.

I don't know that it's easier; I just like being in control of the deployment speed.

 

It's also nice to be able to open it without making any noise.

You gotta get you one of these...

 

[daddyo]

That's a BIG knife, Mike!

 

But I see that Kershawguy has a stonewashed 0200 for $125!

 

Noooooooo! Must.... resist......

Not that much bigger than the 350 in length. It just has a thicker handle. I'm betting the stone washed is a pretty knife.

[mikegideon]

Well... it ain't as big as your bowie

Congrats on your first ZT.  If you consider another, I would seriously look at the ZT0300 if you don't mind big knives.  Outside of some of their limited editions, I think the ZT0300 is the best of their standard line.

 

Don't let the size of the 300 deter you; it carries very well.  I have no problem carrying mine, and most of the time I don't realize I have it in my pocket.

[mikegideon]

I like my 300 too. It's a little pricey compared to the 350 and the 200. Worth it IMO.

We'll turn this into a knife forum before TGO David knows what hit him. Congrats DaddyO. The 0350 is the best value on the knife market IMHO.

I got a 350 a few weeks ago from a vender here and I really like it.

The new 0566 is going to give it some competition. About the same street price. Hinderer design with an Elmax blade.

But I don't try to carry my bowie in my pocket. :)

I haven't carried mine yet. I carry my 561 some, and it's real comfy. Same closed length, only a little thinner.
