Received my Kershaw ZT 0350 today from www.knifeworks.com...ordered Monday @ 11:45a.m...got it today Wednesday @ 10a.m....fast

First impressions....

Digging the g10 scales, very grippy, feels nice in my hand...
Love the blade design...
s30v...razor sharp out of box...
SpeedSafe...fast, flawless opening, locks tight...
Linerlocker...moves very nicely
Thumbstuds...only usable purpose is to stop the blade, can't use them to open, doesn't bother me much, like the flipper more.
4 Position pocket clip, very nice, will have to change to tip-up...broke my cheap t6....need another one....
Tungsten DLC...like it, seems very durable, and I must have coated blades, like the looks better.
Overall, Very impressed!

After using and getting a feel for this blade....i now have a laundry list of Kershaw knives to get, my new all time favorite!

Must have before I die: no spec. order
1.Kershaw Zt 0200
2.Kershaw Zt 0300
3.Kershaw Zt 0301
4.Kershaw Zt 0302
5.Kershaw Boa
6.Kershaw Ram
7.Kershaw Spec Bump
8.Kershaw Tyrade D2 Composite
9.Kershaw JYD II Titanium
10.Kershaw Baby Boa

The ZT line is unrivaled, even by more expensive knives out there in the "premium tactical market".
 
That's a nice list of some really excellent knives. Mr. Curd is correct about the prices too. They will out work, out cut, and out last a lot of big dollar knives. Then there's the best in the industry W&R if you were to have trouble. I haven't yet with any of mine. Joe
 
If were you I would move the Tyrade and JYD Ti up to the top and get them while you can. The JYD Ti is already hard to find and going up in price. They were both very small runs. Also 3 other knives on your list are not in the 2010 catalog and have been discontinued. The Boas are both gone and so are the Bumps.

I have 3 Ti Leeks, but not a spare. :D

Oh for the OP, add a PackRat to your list....well, the revised list. :D
Helluva knife. :thumbup:
 
I'll second getting th tyrade asap I have the tan model its worth everything you pay and much much more!!!! Didn't know the spec bumb was discontinued though I'll be getting one very soon then!
 
Thanks for the comments, i feel very proud of this knife purchase.... Day 2 with the ZT 0350 and i'm loving it more and more....it fits so PERFECT in my hand, very comfortable....s30v is working excellent!

Also thanks for the heads up on the discontinued knives....will have to keep and eye out for a good deal...

As for the updated list....i think the only ones that i'd add would be the zt0500 and the ti bump....those two are list worthy! lol I really like recurve blades....

After using the zt line, i am going to retire my smith and wesson knives as work knives....and make room for the zt 0200, I can't believe that it took me 3 years to come across kershaw and the zt line....:confused:

Love my ZT 0350KW and my Random and Mini Tasks. Here is a pic in case you haven't seen them before. CPM 440V blade steel for the Random and ATS 34 for the Mini. Polished G-10 scales over a liner lock with full titanium liners. Plus they are the first production models with Ken Onion's AO.

The ZT 0200, 0500, and 0300 are on my list, too.

BTW: There may need to be a few new ZTs added to our lists for 2010.;)
