Hi guys!

Im looking to buy a new folder! Looking for something 3" +- blade.
Liner/frame lock or others.
Blade steel - s30v, d2, 154, vg10 ++

Knifes ive been looking at:

Zero tolerance 200 and 350
Spyderco Paramilitary
Various Griptillians
Spyderco tenacious
SOG Aegis

Want to keep it under 150$ to fit my student budget.

I like assisted opening, but nonassisted is also ok.
Partial serrations is preferred, due to the varied use it will do.

I already have a cs lawman so no need to mention that one.

Thanks
 
Quite different knife grades over there... even the prices of some of those can be the double of others! (Or even triple, I saw the tenacious now)

Which one do you like best for now? I don't own one, but I'm looking to get a ZT200 one of these days (or months, as I already have 5 or 6 knives pre-ordered or on their way...)

Yep, theres a couple that might not be very comparable in price and so. But if i can buy a 70$ knife and be happy with that it is as good as having a 150$ knife im happy with.

I like the 200, 350 and the paramilitary best for now.
 
I have owned the 0350 (both the DLC black blade version and the Elmax Composite blade version), 0300, and the 0302. All are GREAT knives. Today I bought a new 0200ST (partially serrated) from Blade HQ (I can actually go to their store because I live in the area). HANDS DOWN it is my personal favorite of the ZT line. Size, strength, build quality, and ergonomics are PERFECT! Price was $127.95 from Blade HQ.
 
Does anyone have a comparization picture with the 350 and 200? would like to see them side by side.
 
I have always heard great things about ZT and I don't think you could go wrong with any of them... I think the 0350 is viewed as being more pocket friendly though with a really good grip.
 
The ZT0200 is slightly larger than the ZT0350. Both are great knives. I went with the ZT0350CB as it is more fits into the pocket easily and isnt as big or heavy as I thought it would be. :thumbup:
