What I like most about the ZT knives: I think there are several reasons why ZT has developed a cult following. I like the way they look and feel in hand. I think the fit and finish of the knives are equal to knives costing 4-5 times more. I think they are extreme knives which give the user a great deal of value. As a retired LEO, I would have carried them on duty. Military and Law Enforcement can actually afford to own these knives. However, back to my first statement. I like the solid visceral feel they have when in the hand. The ergonomics of the handle make it feel like an extension of the body. I like the way the blade is designed. It's a beautiful piece of art for a cutlery tank. Most of all, ZT's just say to the owner: "use me, I can take it, I won't let you down". That is all I'll ever need in a knife.
