Carbon Fiber Blur, or ZT0350 Orange

[TotalDbag]

I'm in the market for a new knife. I found both of the knives listed above, and now I'm torn, or cut (hehe) between the two. Which one should I get???

for EDC purpose.

I actually have not handled a 0350. But I love my carbon fiber blurs. It is slimmer than the 0350, but weight and stuff has never bothered me.

Same here

Get both. I am partial to the zt.

 

[Tbaggin]

Both. Can't go wrong. Blur is better deassisted IMO.. ZT is more hefty, obviously!

 

[Tbaggin]

Oh and you have way more grip on that ZT vs the shiny blur.. What's it for EDC? Fun?

 

[Random Dan]

Definitely the ZT! Nicely textured G10 scales, beefier liners, flipper, and better blade shape.

Well, since the OP said it was for EDC, then it would be wiser to go with the CF Blur. It's a fantastic knife, so much so that I bought three of them. I don't really get why people get fussy about super crazy grip on an EDC knife; the Blur grips just fine. The CF inserts are great, and don't grab pocket material going in and out.

The CPM-154 steel is really a joy. It went down to 16 degrees per side easily, keeps an edge nicely, and responds quickly and easily to a strop. For an EDC and work knife, I couldn't ask for more. For me, the CF Blur actually is an EDC (none of that "I EDC'd this for two days!" junk), and using it, I have very little interest in another blade.

The 0350SW I've had for a while doesn't get any pocket time. I just didn't really dig it, and it's really not an ideal EDC blade. I love my ZT0303, it's a beast of a knife, and it comes with me when I go certain places. The size and heft are great. The 0350 feels like a middle ground that isn't necessary, and I wouldn't recommend it for actual EDC use. Not when you've got all the options that the Blur series has.

Better blade shape? No, not really unless you don't need a tip on your knife.

I love both my CF Blur and my 0350 (not the OR though). For EDC I'd go with the Blur, if only because orange isn't something I'd want to carry every day. Colors aside, I like the 350 a bit better than the Blur, it's just a bigger, stronger knife.

Obviously the answer is to get one now and the other later

 

[I HAVE KNIFE ISSUE]

Zero Tolerance 0350

I would take a deassisted Blur. It has Carbon Fiber and CPM 154 which are two great features. The blur is also a great edc knife

 

[TotalDbag]

Except I like the assist. It gives it a feeling of authority when it opens. Why do people not like assisted?

 

[sticktodrum]

Well, they both have the assisted opening, and can be used without it.

 

[NeverMore1701]

It's a personal preference. I tried it with and without the torsion bar, definitely like it better with.
