First Impressions: ZT 0350

[thesouthernguitarist]

Today I received my long awaited Zero Tolerance 0350 in the mail. Nearly everything is perfect on this blade. The jimping really provides awesome traction for your thumb, the blade came hair popping sharp, and the tolerances are perfect. My only complaint so far on it is, the pocket clip is pretty darn stiff. Other than that, I am more than happy with the 0350 and recommend it to anyone looking for a bulletproof s30v folder.

You are correct. I have mine in my pocket right now. :thumbup:

The clip may loosen up a bit, but if not, you can remove it and loosen it up a bit. Just set it on a solid surface and give it a few light taps on the bend of the clip. Then test fit it back on the knife. You want it a bit less tight, but not to the point where the tip of the clip does not contact the scale. If you do decide to go that route, be sure to use blue loc-tite on the screws.

I got mine as a user and I actually had to bend the clip back in a bit. I hate that hollow sound you get with a loose clip on a thin G-10 scale with a skeletonized liner. It's perfect now. I just held the clip in lineman pliers and bent it in slightly with my hand.

I may do that, right now i'm thinking i'll just carry it to see if it loosens up any.

Congrats on the knife! I carry mine as often as possible.

^^ Thanks man!!! Now if they would allow blades on campus...haha

They dont allow knives on your campus? My school allows blades up to 4 inches. which is more than enough for me.

 

[thesouthernguitarist]

well, I'm still in highschool haha. So that might make a difference. But to answer your question, no blades at all are allowed.

The 350 is one of the blades I'll likely never get rid of.
It did very well in my totally unverifiable whittling tests.
Much better than many blades far more expensive than the 350.
Excellent value, IMHO.
