Here's a link to the entire sale thread. I'm on my iPad so I'm not sure I can just post the 301 pix. All photos were made by Trix.

Thats nice looking, I like the lines being so visible on the blade. Might do that to mine.

I did the work for you, hope you dont mind me posting it here.

The 030X series is old compared to the 056X and other recent offerings. I've had mine for 3 years and I got it 2-3 years after they were released. The bulk of its publicity probably happened years ago. Now it's still a good knife, but a heavy one. I have a 0560 coming in that I can compare mine too.
 
I think the weight of the 30x is the thing that makes it such a strong contender against pretty much every other folding knife I've ever held. Combine that with its high grind and recurve blade, and it is just the best thing out there that I've found for anything less than a high-end custom. I have both the 301 and the 560, and there is a place in my usage for both. But I'd give up my 560 in a heartbeat over my 301, if I had to give up one. The 560 is a great knife, but the 301 is a GREAT KNIFE!!!
 
The 0560 is fun to play with and looks awesome but if I had to choose one I would keep my 0300. Good thing I dont have to choose !

You did the work, Bob? By all means, post away. I apologize for not giving credit where credit is due. You do fabulous work.

Just got my 301... :D

I first got a 0350 to "try out the Zt knives... and the first thing I thought when I had it in my hand was, :its really nice, but just a bit small." The 301 has fixed that...

:) Can't comment much since I've had it literally less than an hour. But its its shaving sharp.

I didnt realize it could be read that way. No, by work, I meant put the pic on the tread.

But I am pretty good at posting pictures. :o
 
Dave gave me a great quote on a 0301. Just waiting to hear back from him. Can't wait to get this!

I guess my luck did change, I won 2nd place in Dave's giveaway its not quite another 03xx knife but it is Composite junkyard Dog:thumbup:!!!

I cant complain :D
 
Well having have the 301 bit longer i have ot say it really moves things up... The 350 is more like a regular run Kershaw, but this 301 steps it up another level in fito finish, assembly and just every thing as far as I can tell. I'm very impressed, and the sizing is just right.
 
Does anyone have a grayman Satu? I would love to see a comparison between the 301 and the Satu.
 
Wow... No I really really cant wait to order my ZT 30X! I want it NOW! :D Very Sexy pictures of the 30Xs in action!
 
Feel like I need to start an '0200 love thread' in order to squelch my lust for a new 03XX... :D
