just curious thinking about getting one in near future they look like big knives for pocket clip carry to me but then just like a handgun theyre supposed to be comforting not comfortable . also any pics of longtime carry of ZT's is appreciated .
 
I carry my ZT0300 in my backpack during the workweek and sometimes carry it during the weekends. I prefer a lightweight knife for EDC like the Kershaw Skyline though. I don't mind too much carrying the 300 in my jeans on the weekends. My jeans are generally looser than the dress pants I have to wear to work and of thicker and stronger material so it not at all bad to carry.

I don't have a pic of me wearing it but here's a pic nonetheless: :p

ZT-350 here....had it for 1 week, so far so good....it`s a little smaller & a couple ounces lighter than the 200 & 300 models.
 
I carry this 0300 everyday in a belt sheath while hiking. I don't use it, I've got a lighter Spyderco Pacific Salt in my pocket for use. This is for backup use only and I wouldn't want to carry it pocket clipped at 8 oz., it's just too heavy for me. On the belt it's OK.
It wasn't real sharp when I got it, so I sent it to Richard J and he put a very nice paper wheel sharpened edge on. Now she's nice and hair popping sharp. Love it's solidness and fast action. Feels super strong.

You can see what a difference the in the edge expertly sharping it on a paper-wheel made.

I carry a 300 pretty often in my rotation. Now that it's getting colder outside, it'll probably see more & more pocket time, since it's so easy to use with gloves on. It is a little large, but you get used to that pretty quickly, and I wear jeans to work so it's feasible (not so if I had a slacks job).
 
I have been carrying a 350 for about two weeks now. It is one fine knife.
 
I have the ZT 200 and it looks like a very strong knife however for it's thickness and weight it really doesn't have that big a blade. The Emerson Super Commander has a thinner handle which makes it easier to carry and although the cutting edge is no longer than that of the 200 it actuallly gives you at least an inch more reach. [admittedly the Emerson is significantly more expensive]
Another thing that irritates me about my 200 is that although it offers quadruple clip mount options my particular knife came with damaged screw holes for right hand tip up carry and I hate tip down carry which is how the knife came.
I actually prefer to carry my CS Spartan because alhough it's a thick heavy knife not unlike the 200, the extra weight gives you a massive 4 1/2" blade.
 
I carry a ZT 0200. I've carried it for about a week now. I love it, and honestly it carries really well. I forget it's in my pocket and have to do the old "pocket pat" from time to time to make sure it is still there.
 
I am a big guy, but hate carrying big knives in my pants pocket. If I am carrying a big knife, it will be in my coat pocket or on my belt. I plan on getting a MUDD, and while it isn't huge, its dimensions are a little bigger than I'm used to.
 
I have the ZT0200 and ZT0500 in my carry rotation. I like them both and have no problems with either. I do seem to favor the 0500 lately because of it's deep carry clip.
 
Carried my 0500 yesterday. It's in the top three of knives I carry most.

It's easy to use with gloves on. A big plus, considering today was the first day above zero-F this week.
 
I usually do not carry large folders, but I like my 301 too much so it is in my carry rotation. I mostly carry it when I am wearing jeans but will occasionally carry it clipped in my right shorts pocket.
 
I carry a MUDD as my work knife. The pants I wear are cargo type pants, nice and loose. I wouldn't like carrying it if I wore tight pants, but with the loose cargos, it isn't noticeable.

I carry one daily. Switch between it and my Military. Love it. It is seriously tough as nails. It is great. Not big at all (well for me, Im love big knives) And to be honest the blade is kinda short. It is a beast and really cool looking to add to it. Don't find it a hassle to carry and love the added invincibility :)
