I like big knives, I EDC an XM-18, XM-24 and lg Sebenza in my rotation. Over the past couple of years I've purchased the JYD 2 titanium flipper, ZT 0301, ZT0551 and 2, ZT 0560s.
All great knives to be sure. But I let them go to consolidate funds and purchase Hinderers & Sebenzas. There's only one of them that I really regret selling - my first ZT the ZT 0301.
What a magnificent beast that knife was. Maybe mine was a freak of nature or something but it was 100% perfect (I'm really anal about every bit of my folders) in every way.
It fired much harder than the 5 autos I've owned. So hard, that it was unbelievable that it was merely spring assisted!
I could just get my large size hands around it with comfort, it would sing through newspaper right out of the box with premium S30V goodness, honed to perfection, right out of the box.
The humongous blade always gave me the feeling that it would pry into the side of a house and pop off every thing in the way for me to gain entrance if I lost my house key for e.g.
My ZT 0301 was a bad mamma-jammar and I miss it like a 20 yr old pair of leather, fleece lined, house slippers.
Do you guys who currently own ZT 030x series knives concur? Or, was mine truly a freak of nature and if replaced, not to be expected to live up to my original's build quality?

closest thing to a folding Busse I've found so far
