I got a lnib 0302 in a trade about 3 weeks ago but I just can't bring myself to use it. No I don't want to sell it or trade it. I traded a couple of knives I never used for it.

It's the sweetest knife I have including a couple of customs. I already have a 0300 I carry a lot. Help push me over the edge to use this great knife.

Well, the 0300 is technically the same knife.

Maybe safequeen the 0302 until the 0300 gets retired.

I've been moving in the direction of having users only myself.:o
 
Maybe carry a "user" as well to take any hard work, loan out, etc. then the 302 can just get opened and admired until you are ready to take the plunge to really use it.
 
I won't push you to do anything I wouldn't do. I don't plan on using mine either, so don't do it if you don't feel like it OR find a user 0302 for a bargain and use that one so you can carry it around and beat it up. Nice score by the way!
 
I used mine didnt really bother me its a beastly knife not really a thing of beauty imo
 
Ha....I do basically the same thing as others..... Carry my 301..... But also have ZT350 for the dirty work....... Can't leave my 301 at home... Lol

If it's really a collectable, don't use it. If it's just a really great knife but not exclusive like say, the Tilt, then trust the knife and the warranty and make it a user. Might not want to cut the heads off nails or anything, but why not put it to the use for which it was so well designed? Could be a good excuse to discover if you need to find another to be a safequeen. imho.
 
Ive tried to make safe queens and I like them so much that id rather carry them then leave them at home I find the knives I leave at home are the ones I dont like as much
 
One day I fumbled, dropped my 0301 and it hit the pavement. Then I looked at the abrasions on the Ti, then said, "ah what the hell, I'll use it to the end." Screw collector value, it's not going to be for sale anytime soon.

It's a heavy duty utility knife. Use it as it was intended. The only difference between it and its cousins is the scale color and blade numbering anyways. I wouldn't put a high premium on a knife on that basis alone.
 
Use it. ZT are user knives not show pieces collectibles. Its a production knife and has little chance of being worth anymore than what you paid for it new so dont let it sit around gathering dust.
 
I had a few safe queens for a while now, and I realized one day that why have them if I'll never use them, that's why I'm selling my ZT302 and a few others. I could never bring my self to use my ZT302, but someone else will get the enjoyment of owning and using it.
 
how about this... i love the 0302 but dont have one so send it to me and ill use it and get it nice and broken in for you. then send it back to you and it will be all ready for you to use, decision free ;)

Googled and found but can't get my Chrome browser to load the images of the sheaths??? Will try again later. It looks like there is a holster for my Surefire too!!! would love a combo that would allow me to carry my ZT350 and GX2 in one package.

....oh, and thanks.
