Recommendation? ZT 0220? Kershaw Blur?

[brasileiro]

Hey there!
I don’t know if here is the right place for my doubt.
Im looking for a ZT 0220 or Kershaw Blur.
Almost same size, almost same blade geometry, different blade steel (S35VN vs S30V) and handles (Track Tek vs Titanium). But...
ZT is 3,5 times expensive than Blur.
I have blades on S30V but no one in S35VN.
Does it worth?

Thanks.

Yeah, it does worth.

Steel in S35VN is a little better than S30V, but not enough to worry about.

However, the ZT 0220 is an awesome knife. Rock solid. Flips like a dream. And it has good blade geometry (edge width) that makes it a good slicer, even with a fairly heavy blade stock.

I think it does worth too if you find the s30v difficult to sharpen. Otherwise, it may not be worth. However, the zt knife is like a Cadillac where the kershaw is like the chevrolet. They both will get you where your going, but one will do it better and with more style. But as far as cutting goes, its hard to notice a difference between to two steels

So, they are in different level. I couldn’t find even a picture side by side or YouTube versus video review with both.
Thank you.

There is no side to side picture maybe because they are not in the same league.

Here you go, mate. I snapped a few quick side by side pictures for you. As you can see, although their blade length is similar, they are two very different knives.

The Blur is a great deal and a fantastic EDC folder, the 0220 is a higher end folder with super smooth action and lots of well machined titanium. The 0220 is also quite a bit larger than the Blur and is not as comfortable to carry in some pants.

Thank you very much. I appreciate your efforts to post these photos.
Is track tek a good handle I mean feels like G10 or feels like plastic?

Track tek is grippy, but not uncomfortable. Can't comment on the 0220 but as per the blur it is a great knife at that price. One of my favorite edc knives, really comfortable handle in the palm.

It feels a bit like rubber. The older Blurs had more of a sandpaper feel. It adds a bit of traction to an otherwise sleek aluminum handle. It works just fine.
