Help me decide

[swimmerdude1127]

Hello all,
I was thinking about a new pretty large folder and narrowed it down to three choices, all about the same price ($120-130 range).

Here are my options:

1. Zero Tolerance 0200 - the one with no serrations
What I like: biggest one, supposedly "built like a tank"
What I don't: liner lock

2. SOG Tomcat 3.0
What I like: VG-10 steel, arc-lock
What I don't: no clip option available

3. Benchmade 950 Rift
What I like: Axis lock, incredible G-10 texturing
What I don't: probably be afraid to use it hard

So, what opinions could you all give me? I am leaning most toward the ZT but just don't know. I suppose I could get all three eventually

While i prefer the axis lock to the liner lock.... I would go for the ZT 0200.... The benchmade could easily take a beating... But the design does not point torward hard or extended use... Perhaps the following for benchmade...
-Benchmade Mini Rukus
-Bm - HK14205

Super strong... G-10... and mini rukus has g-10 and micarta... Both beastly knives... And great slicers....

Good Luck...

I have no experience with the knives you mentioned. I have a BM Rukus and it is a tank of a knife.

of those three i would narrow it down to the zt and bm.

the zt is large. would that affect whether or not you carry it?

the bm looks to be the most carry friendly, and you cant go wrong with the axis lock.
