The only con I can think of to the ZT0200 at this point is that I do not own one yet.

Butchered the grammar, but that's what we can expect from Kirby.

That is a rough draft

It's just an email to Dave away...

I can tell.

I can tell.

I can not deny that was a well crafted comeback.

Are all your posts rough drafts?

Yeah, I love my Umnumzaan! I've owned a lefty insingo. Loved it. Had Barry H make a badass scale for it.

im with ya on that one chet i love the zaan it is one bad ass knife i almost dont even miss the sebenza 25 i traded for a tilt. but i have to say the tilt has been in my pocession for all of 2 days and has already kicked out the zaan and 560 from my pocket.

Blade shape

• good all around blade shape for just about everything (in my opinion) the recurve makes for a great slicer. I use it for yard work quite often and it flys through small branches and just about every thing else I can throw at it for that matter. the only downside to me is it's a bit of a challenge to sharpen, it would be fairly easy if I had a sharpmaker/lansky though.

Lock

• It is a liner lock, and a very stout one at that. No blade play up, down, left, or right. Very smooth, and it doesn't stick. The detent is quite strong on my example (giving it a great flipping action)

Pocket clip

• The 0200 uses the standard Kershaw/Zero Tolerance clip. good retention. It Tends to tear up the pockets after awhile. Over all it's a great clip.

Ergonomics

• like most Ken onion design the ergonomics are excellent, it really locks into the hand and is quite comfy. The texture on he G10 along with the thumb ramp/jimping really help keep it in your hand. I've heard some people find the choil uncomfortable, I haven't noticed any discomfort and I would guess its more due to bigger hands (which I do have so maybe I'm just part of the minority)

Steel

• The steel is 154-CM. good edge retention, corrosion resistance (especially with the DLC coating) and easy to sharpen.

Deployment

• Very easy, the over sized thumb studs work like a charm and the flipper works great!

Random points I want to touch on

solid steel pivot (it's not hollow)​

perfect centering​

large finger choil allows a lot of access to the thumb-studs

What you get

• an AMERICAN made knife for under $150 using premium materials with one of the best warranties out there (under $100 if you get a blemish)

pros

• lanyard hole will easily accommodate paracord
• Ergonomics
• Price
• Steel
• Handle material
• Build quality
• it's cool
• everything else

cons

• The clip can shred your pocket.

I love this knife and would buy one again. It makes you feel safe and just a little BAD@$$! Why do I like it? What? You seriously didn't read all the stuff above this Sentence?
