I've been told different things about the ZT 0350KW.. I was told by a few people that the 0350KW lower serial numbers had a Satin Bead Blast blade and later on the ZT 0350KW (higher serial numbers) had a Stonewash blade making the 0350KW actually having 2 different variations but still retaining the model number 0350KW

I was also told by other people that there is only one 0350KW which is a light Stonewash

Can anyone clear this up for me
Thank You
 
Yes. here is a thread about it. Maybe a good idea to keep the info in there instead of starting other threads:
http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/s...ence-between-Satin-bead-blast-and-stonewashed

In the end, it's basically the same knife, there is not enough variation in it to make a huge dent in any value, or collectibility. Some manufacturers have made errors in their numbering, and typos in their steel types (EL MAX vs ELMAX), sometimes logos get moved around, words added or removed, etc.. Ultimately it's nothing that should really matter much.

To the best of my knowledge this is the correct scenario (in Quote) there was only one number ZT0350KW (KW meaning Knife works) the later ones and the one I sent you as I have told you are lightly stonewashed, not Bead blasted, bead blast was used on leeks , scallions , skylines with silver blades, which I call Satin and I believe in the case of it saying satin blade on 0350KW box only means not Black DLC coated as were most all 0350's of that era. Bead Blast finish is very smooth and free of all scratches , it is almost gray in color. All 0350KW on retail market at this time are stonewashed, if there was a bead blast version, you would only find it on the secondary market or old new stock some place.
 
Ok guys, thanks guys.. Sorry to post a new thread about this I was just very confused because I had people constantly telling me different things..
 
Dave, have you heard of any new 0350's that they are supposed to produce.. I have the newest that I bought of you which is the 0350CFM390 which is an absolutely gorgeous knife
 
I checked emails and I got my 0350KW from KnifeWorks in July 2013. Even though their website says "Satin Bead Blast" for the blade it sure looks like stonewashed!
 
If you ever run into one of the bead blast 0350kw let me know.. BTW I'm in the process of purchasing an 0350WW
