To make a long story short, while on vacation I lost my prized Kershaw Ken Onion 1580ST & found out they've been discontinued.
I have an opportunity to get a ZT 0350 for a good price & was wondering if that would be about as close spec-wise & quality-wise i'll find?
Any other recommendations welcome.
Thanks for your help.
 
I used to own a Boa. Great knife. In my opinion the Kershaw Blur is a modern equivalent to a Boa in terms of size, but is doesn't have a flipper. The the ZT0350 is a killer knife! Hands down my favorite ZT to date. You won't go wrong with that one.


 
If you really liked the Boa you could keep an eye out in the for sale section or that big auction site and maybe you'll get lucky. If not the ZT0350 is a good knife but it is heavier and more chunky then the Boa.
 
I liked it & the weight of it didn't bother me. I was recently in TN & went to SMKW & checked out the Spyderco's (got one...good knife, but like the assisted opening better), the SOG's (seem light & cheap), and Gerber's (same thoughts as the SOG's), but none of those did anything for me. The newer Kershaws have a completely different handle that I don't care for as much as my old one.
Funny thing...I don't remember the holes in the blade of mine like is on the Boa.
 
I'm packin my zt0350TS right now. Love it.
 
Yes. For sure durable and solid. Well made.
 
The 0350 is a great knife. Very solid and durable knife. Another one to keep an eye out for is the 0566. It's similar in length to the 0350, but it looks like the handle will be a bit narrower.
