Zero Tolerance 0200?

this is my first reply, but when i get back from philidelphia im going to get a zero tolerance 0350 for 150$ it has S30V im pretty sure which (i find) is awesome. or you could just get both:D
 
Bought a 350 in December, went to a gunshow in January, played with a 200, while playing with it he pulls out some more BNIB 350's. I swiftly bought another 350.

I say get the 350, perfect for EDC, 200 is just to big IMO, plus that 350 has AO, very nice.
 
I really like my 200, smooth, locks up super solid, and while its heavy I don't really notice it too much through out the day. I'd say its biggest competition right now is the BM 275, which is also on my list, though I prefer the higher grind on the 200 (better edge geometry for cutting). Also there's the Manix 2 XL (also on my to buy list) better slicing with the ffg blade, but you give up some blade strength.
 
My opinon would be. Save $25 more bucks, catch one of the 0300 or 301 blems from kershawguy, and be happy with it forever. :)

But, if you're stuck on $150, I do hear the 0200 is very large for EDC.
 
I love the flipping 200. It's large but people still carry larger so it's all in what you want and are used to. It's well worth the money in my opinion.

I have a 0200 and a 0300 and a 0302. I like the 030x much more. The 0200 is more bulky in the pocket...the 0300 has a thinner handle. The 0300 weighs in at 8.6

and 0200 is 7.6.

You can get a 0300 or 0301 blem from a guy that sells Kershaws from for 165 and 175.
 
The 0200 is an awesome knife, one of my favorites, ergos are great and you can find them for around 120 our under 100 sometimes here in the for sale ads, it has a smooth action and is a manual openet
 
Best ergos in the ZT line, period. Best bang for the buck, at least before the price increases. My 0200 has seen more EDC pocket time than most of my other folders combined, and most of them are less bulkier. I keep coming back to it because it is RELIABLE. Come to think of it, I probably should buy another...
 
I'll let you know how I like my 200 when I get it in a few days.:D I snagged one on one of them there auction site thingamigiggy's. Hope I did good at 90 bucks for it. Supposed to be in excellent condition. I can't wait to try it out. It will be interesting to compare it to my 350 and 301.
 
I just swung by a USNer's house and picked up a like new 0200 for a great price. I'm really digging it so far! The only thing that I might change is to contour the scale slightly to make it easier to get to the linerlock.
 
the 200 is too heavy for practical pocket carry (but of course you can do it)...i carry mine in a belt sheath.

and, it's a Working Man's knife...get one to use if you use a knife in the field often, this is where you will appreciate its stout 4" blade the most...i shake my head of those who get one just " to flip" and play with; do what you want with your money but man, what a waste of it...
 
I got my 200 in yesterday. First impressions are that this knife is much thicker and more bulky than the 300 series. The 301 I have is more pocket friendly and easier to carry in a pocket. The ergos on the 200 are better than either the 301 or the 350. I like the blade shape on the 200 better than on the 301. The 200 blade is not as as tall from blade edge to spine as the 301.

Overall, the 200 strikes me as an extremely reliable and tough folder. Its easy to clean and should work great for my hunting and fishing activity's.
 
I've had my 0200 for over two months now and I love it. I've been paring it with my original black/camo paramilitary which i have a feeling is about to be replaced by a 0551 that i traded for and will be at my home in a week. So excited! But the 0200 is a great, tough, robust knife that i trust my life to. It is lighter and IMO much easier to carry than the 301, i sold my old 301. Also when you open the 0200 i find it comes out faster than the 301 but thats just me. It is by far the best $120.00 i've spent and by far the best ZT knife for the money there is.
