Ever since NCIS sstarted to use ZT-301 in some of their episodes. I had small voice whispering into my ear I should get one. Now lately it I've even seen dreams involving ZT-301.

Now I have ZT-0500. I love it. Its good back up, rock solid folding beast... Yet I am graving this 8 Oz+ beast with solid hunk of titanium and which costs nearly twice more in here than my any folder so far and even more than my Busse GW or Busse Cultellus.... Yet I grave this folder badly.

Now either I am losing my mind or then my mind is telling me you should by this knife. I could get Spyderco Military at same price or BM 940 (yeah, well, prices go weird in this country of mine) but something about S30V+Titanium is drawing me hard. I know I can afford it but I am not sure if it ever becomes dedicated hard outdoor user... ZT 0350 would be nearly half of its price here but it lacks the titanium and its blade looks thinner... I hate fact I am becoming steel snob... and I don't have knife with titanium... I know myself pretty much, so I don't ask much reason why not to buy. I'll probably post pictures of my new ZT-30x in a month.

If you guys could post some pictures of your ZT-300/301/302's here, please. That would ease up my huge internal fight which I know I am losing. I have no buyers remorse I have just have remorse about things I am about to buy, never those I've bought. So just for my sanity I'll buy ZT-30x once I get paycheck.
 
I wish i could post pic's but i'm sure there are loads on this site. I bought a 301 about a year ago and it's my edc. It's really built like a tank for lack of a better term.
Opens very fast, holds an edge well & I think for the price It's one hell of a deal. I have no regrets purchasing this knife.
If i had the money I'd buy a 302, just because!

Pull the trigger, you want it, can afford it, you only go around once.

I let mine go in favor of the 0200 and 0500.

The 0301 I had was a beast of a knife, but I found that I was carrying the 0200 a LOT more.
 
The ZT 300 is IMO the best beast ti framelock in its price range. I found it to have superb fit an finish and exquisite overall quality. However I sold it 5 min ago on the exchange because it was a tad large for me. But if you like large folders jump on it!
 
I took these for another forum where a member wanted to see how the knife fit the hand. I'm 190 cm and 100 kg so keep that in mind.

I had the same thoughts as you about price and weight. It was money well spent and I haven't noticed the weight after the first week I had it. It's my EDC knife.
