Ok, so I just got my first ZT today and I'm so in love with it that I'm already trying to decide the next one I'm going to get...
I'm trying to decide wether to get the 0350 or the 0200.
I'm kinda leaning towards the 0200 because I have an 0301 and the 0350 is kinda the same shape, and plus the 0200 looks sweet!
Tell me what you guys think!

Since you are 14 and I dont know the knife laws where you are I cant recommend something like that. You might want to look into that end of it though just so you dont get into trouble or lose your knives

I can carry a knife with a blade length up to 4 in. so either knife is ok
 
I think PG retracted his statement when he figured out how old you are . nothing personal just the way things are
 
I don't know the laws of where you live either, (looks like Florida) but the 0350 is an Assisted Opening knife. Many police officers can easily mistake it for a Automatic Opener. (switchblade) Presuming you are correct that you can carry a blade length up to 4 inches, either would be fine. The 0350 is AO and the 0200 is not. The 0350 is slimmer where the 0200 fills the hand better with the rounded scales. Just my opinion.

Please understand that people here don't want to get you (or them) into trouble with the laws. My kids have a VERY hard time understanding that the day you turn 18, all the rules change. Before that, there is a different set of rules that are intended to keep kids (and adults) safe.
 
You'll probably find the 0350 a lot easier to carry than either the 0301 or 0200. Even though the 0350 and 0301 are similar in shape I think that the 0301 and 0200 are a lot more similar in function, they're both big knives that take up a lot of real estate in your pocket.

I'd suggest taking a look at the 0550. The size is pretty close to an 0350 but it's a totally different knife. I prefer it to the others. Kershawguy had some blems recently for a really good price. I'm not sure if he still has any or not. His blems were going for about the same price I paid for my (non-blem) 0350 a few years ago.
 
Correct. Youngster, I'm glad you enjoy knives, but in light of recent events, I think giving any sort of advice on knives or any other sort of deadly implement to some one of your age is not wise. Sorry.

Ok, thanks for the explanation.
I respect what your saying.

I have both the 0200 & 0350 and for normal use the 0200 is really to large, please understand I LOVE my 0200 but the thing is a beast. If I was younger I would get the stonewashed 0350 for EDC.

Decisions, decisions... There so hard to make.
I really like them both so I have no clue....
Maybe I will just have to get both:D
Problem solved:D
 
That's the only real way to solve the problem! Depending what you are doing with it, the 200 is large to edc atleast for me. I edc'd a 0350st and a 0400st for a couple years. They both were easier to carry and fit the type of tasks I did well. I now carry a 550 for edc most days and find it a good compromise being about perfect for what I use it for. Plus it gives you a different style. And the first gens are pretty cheap right now.
 
I really tried to like the 350's, but found that they were too small for my hands because of the way the handle is shaped at the end. It forces my fingers to be bunched up too close together,or the point sits in the middle of my little finger.

I kinda agree with you. I got a chance to play with a 350 today and I got all 4 fingers on it but not much extra "room". I like bigger handles so its kinda small for me, but I still like it.
Sadly I didn't get to play with a 0200...
