Pro-Tech TR3 VS ZT0350

[JBarbaresi]

Anyone have any pictures of a ZT0350 next to a TR3 for size comparison? I'm looking for a non-auto folder for places I can't carry my TR3, and have my eye on the 0350 but can't get a good sense of its size. Thanks in advance.

I'm a Protech fan and I don't have both knives. But I think you will find the 0350 much smaller than the TR3. It's more on the size of TR-2 I would say (Which is an AWESOME knife).

the tr3 is awesome, i have a godson as well and both are top notch quality. based off manufacturer stats the ZT 0350 has a .25" shorter blade and the handle is the same length. my main concern is the width, the tr3 is a good size and the 0350 looks extremely wide in the hands of some people on youtube. it would be nice to see them next to each other so i can get a better judge.

alright, how about this... can anyone recommend me a manual or spring assisted folder that would be similar in size, design, and quality as the TR3?

The 0350 is a larger knife than the TR3. It is wider, thicker, and heavier at 5.6 ounces vs 3.8 ounces for the TR3. The oal of the TR3 is longer than the 0350 at 8.2" vs 7.9". I have a TR3 stainless version and a ZT0350, but no pics. The ZT0350 is a nice handfull of knife, and at 5.6 ounces, it is very solid feeling. If you go with the 0350, check out the CB version with an Elmax edge.



Here are the specs for the ZT0350



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In response to customer requests, ZT is proud to introduce the 0350. It’s slightly smaller and slightly lighter than the 0300—10% to be precise—but just as aggressive. The 0350 is fully equipped with SpeedSafe for one-handed assisted opening. Even in combat gloves, you can easily deploy the blade using the large, ambidextrous thumb stud or blade protrusion. The composite blade is composed of 14C28N and premium ELMAX steel edge for superior sharpness and edge retention. Textured, matte-black G-10 scales provide a secure grip. Includes a quad mounting system for tip-up, tip-down, left- or right-handed clip carry.

Not easy to find, but Pro Tech made a manual framelock verson of the TR-3 called the Integrity.

Anybody have one? They look kind Sebenza or Bradley like to me. The price seems about right if the F and F is very good. Here's picture from the knifecenter.

These are the remakes of the Integrity. The originals were all hand ground I believe. Also, I believe the original Integrity predates the Bradley Alias. I can't speak on these newer versions, but the two older versions I have are solid and two of my favorites.
