How do you like the ZT 0160?

I have it since 2 weeks.
I found it attractive, somewhat how a tactical scandinavian knife could look. I like the fact that it doesn't have a recurve, this makes it very different from most ZTs.
Now I didn't get around using it yet. Like all ZTs, it is marketed towards the military as a kind of combat knife. However I expect it to be pretty convincing as (my interest) a general outdoor knife as well. I expect that it could be an interesting stainless alternative to an ESEE.
Handholding is good, the choil prevents touching the blade. A pleasing G10 texture, not of the ultra grippy kind but good enough. It comes with a very good sheath.
Disadvantages? It is rather heavy, as you can imagine. It also had a decent "working sharpness" instead of true razor sharpness out of the box.

Here a picture of it in the hand:
Perhaps it's too scary for the general public when attached to the Fatboy bag:
