Hey guys I am looking for a replacement for my ZT0350.

I know guys like details on how the knife will work and it's daily duties. I don't really have any.. Lol. Just something unique and under $300 ish



I am thinking, in specific order..

Grayman Dua
ZT560
Strider SMF
Sebenza
 
Since all on your list are great blades, I recommend using the exchange and going down your list. If you don't fall in love with the dua, sell it or trade it on the exchange and go to the next one. You will likely only lose the money you spend on shipping and you will end up with THE knife you want.

I've had these; all are nice. Some are better.
I would pick the Sebenza. You can find it in the Exchange, barely used, for $300-$325. Sebbies come in Large and Small sizes. Verify before you buy; there is quite a grip-size difference. Either one will last as long as you will, and beyond.

How about Al Mar knives: sere 2000, payara, or shrike. All 3 have a look all there own, they're really smooth opening, ergos are great and are really underrated since you are getting a custom quality knife in a production folder. A close second, for me anyway would b a.Fallkniven folder.
 
I would also say the sebenza, they are all great knives but for me chris reeve is the best choice, although I have not had a dua, which I would really like to try.
 
Just to add....

Owning both, I always advise that if the choice is between a Sebenza and a Grayman go with the one you like the LOOK of best because there will be no further issues with either of them.

Al Mar, Benchmade, Fallkniven....all good knives. Once you get off your original list, and for that budget, you're in freefall---a LOT of good ones out there. In that case, take your time....

Take a look at the offerings from Southern Grind. Very nice knives (steel is arguable, but I haven't seen too many complaints from actual owners), quality materials, excellent fit and finish, and very unique.

That 710 is gorgeous too. I don't have that version, but can highly recommend the regular, so that must be even better.
 
You want unique? Well then, grab a dremel and some sand paper(or more professional tools) and make something unique. Here's my work in progress military-

But if you decide to go with a seb get one of the cgg or uniques. The plain jains lack alot of the "in your face" uniqueness. Don't get me wrong, the large plain 21 is by far my favorate knife I have ever owned, but it shines in its refined simplicity if that makes any sense. I don't have any experience with any of the other knives mentioned.
