How can I tell if the knife I'm getting is NOT a blem?

Sorry for the stupid question... but the knife I'm getting is less then what I've seen.
Oh yeah....it's a ZT0200.

Thanks,
Chris

Less in what way? Blems have XXXX stamped on them.

C.M.L · Feb 23, 2012

Less money.

And thanks for the info.

As Hatchetjack said, blems will be marked with an "XXXX" usually a little behind the model number. So it will say "0200 XXXX." If the "XXXX" is not there, than as far as Kershaw and ZT is concerned, it isn't a blem and has the full warranty.

Thanks.

I bought my ZT0200 for $90-100 BNIB iirc. There are lots of good deals out there if you look hard enough. Before I get any PMs, this was about a year ago.

what does blem stand for? refurbished?

"blemish," it is when a knife has some kind of blemish on it (scratch on blade or handle for example). These knives are marked with "XXXX" on the blade and sold at a lower rate.
