Ah, another one bights the dust. Its hard to beleive I just finished the year I turned 30 in...ugh. Oh well, it was also the year I was introduced to Zero Tolerance. I have carried this particular ZT0300 every day for over 6 months now and all I can say is, WOW. I absolutely love this weapon/tool. I quickly aquired 3 more after the initial purchase, but havent carried them. I have another all black "back-up" ZT0300 and a Tad Gear Desert Warior and a Tad Gear Combat Edition. I will probably never carry those 2, just have them cause they are cool. I realize some of you have more ZT's than me, gut its hard to beleive when I hold all 4 in my hand, Im holding a cool Grand worth of knives. I continue to use my knife daily, I have yet to abuse it and probably never will because thats just not my nature, if I need a pry bar, I go get one. I have cut cardboard, canvas, plastic and cloth among other things. I have only had to occasionaly touch up the edge with my Smith's ceramic V-rods. Anyway, just rambling here, maybe some of you have a story or a knife you found that you cant beleive you lived without....and of course Happy New Year to all of you fellow enthusiasts and keep the edge.
 
You sound like me when it comes time to use my knives. I do not use my Tyrade, ZT0500, or ZT0200 at anywhere near their capabilities, and these are also my favorite Kershaws, along with being my favorite edc's, and '07 was my year to discover two of the above knives, the ZT0500 and the Tyrade, and to restablish my relationship with the ZT0200. Kershaw is quickly becoming my favorite knife company due to it's ability to produce such well engineered knives!
 
I got so many knives last year I think I am insane :D.

I now EDC a ZT 0300, a ZT 0610ST AND a Spec bump--I carry more worth in my knives than I do my wallet + cellphone + clothes... :eek:
 
Here's my "stable"

Dude! It was one of those those times when a pic came out perfect, lighting and everything.
And what's the point of collecting, unless you can show ur collection to those who will actually have an idea about what's in front of them, rather then "a pretty knife, but no way I would ever pay even half of what it's price tag"? :D
 
I've seen these two pictures like everywhere... your photobucket, picture threads here in the subforum, arfcom, and now this one! :D

They're awesome pictures--but do you use any of them? (I see tape on some of the clips, so I guess so) but they look all so clean.
 
Awesome "little" collection you got going there RX!! I really like the looks of the ZT0205, and the ZT0400!:thumbup::D
 
I have no problem using my knives. Unless it's a gold box BM or one of few in existence, and they all get their share of pocket time.
On another hand, there's not a whole lot of tasks I need them to perform (other then slicing cardboard) but I keep all of my knives shaving sharp and ready to be used whenever I may feel so.
 
well i will admit it. as much as i like kershaw knives, i only got one this year and it was for christmas. shame on me and my low funds lol
