What are the current offerings from Zero Tolerance, and are any uncoated blades available out there? Looking at the 301 primarily.

Yep, they looked cool on NCIS, a couple friends have them.
 
ZT 0200 KW is uncoated. There are many people here who have BB their ZT's, I remember this post from earlier:

I blasted it, tumbled/stonewashed it, removed some of the recurve, sanded the handles and convexed it.

The ZT-0551 Hinderer design is pretty nice. It's 'El Max' blade is bead-blasted. There will be a 0550 version later - in a more common steel. The 0551 runs $250 MSRP - and they only made 1,000. It's a little smaller than the 0300/0301/0302 series - and not assisted, either. I have the 0551, which I bought 'off the shelf' locally and a 0301 I paid less for thru the mail - great knives!

Well, hush my mouth! Thanks for the correction!!

Well, maybe another correction is in order - some folks have reported significant difficulty closing their 0551's. Not everyone likes them...

Okay, not likely anyone will hush my mouth - but I shall deal sternly with my errant fingers!

They are pretty difficult to close... but not a big deal and I'm sure mine will loosen up with time.

I think the 0350 usually comes uncoated. The 0200 and 0551 are excellent knives, though, probably my favorites of the ZT lineup, so I'd go that route.
 
No problem closing my 0551; opening was a trick until I learned you keep my fingers off the lock.
 
I had an 0200KW and it was awesome. But way too big for me. Other than that though, an epic knife...one that will be remembered in 10 years.
 
I have a 301 and a 200. I really like them both. They appeal to the knuckle dragger in me. Big, beefy, well-made knives.
 
the 0300 is going to be my next purchase. ZT's are great heavy duty knives and the fit and finish is better than the company that starts with S imho. just my opinion..
 
I have a 0551, 0200 and a 0400......ZT folders are a lot of bang for the buck. They are hard-use in the utmost of the word. You would be hard pressed to find a cheaper hard-use knife with the same quality and toughness as the ZT brand. Do it.....you will not regret it.

My next purchase after I find myself a S90V/CF Para 2, is gonna be a ZT 0300.
 
yea the zt 0300 cant be beat! a titanium frame lock with hinderer g10 and s30v equals greatness lol
 
there are a few SW variants out there. not going to be easy to find, but worth it if you do.

i have really been liking my 0350CB

I love my zt 551, quality is great and the blade is a darker stonewash than CRK for example. Very nice, no problems here opening or closing.
 
The modded 301 at the top of this tread looks FANTASTIC :thumbup:I like

the shape of the blade and the finish Much better than the orginal 301.
 
My Bad. I dont know What I Was Thinking. I know thats a 200 not a 301...

maybe thats why a want to get a 0200. I like the shape of the blade on the

0200 Much better than the 0301. I want to get a 0200 but I dont Need

one.

Tell me why I should get a 0200 :D
