I have a ZT 200 and love the quality and strength of this knife. It is a true tank, but the handle is just a tad thick IMHO. My question is I am looking at getting another new knife and was looking at another ZT. So here are my questions

1. Is the 301, and 302 handle thinner or the same thickness as the 200?
2. Which has the thinnest handle 301, 350, or the MUDD?

If any of you have these knives a photo comparison would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
 
The 300's are close to the same thickness as the 200. The 350 is a lot thinner if that's what you're looking for. I've got the MUDD on the way so I can't relate its handle thickness just yet.

The 200 is the favorite of the 5 I've owned so far (200 x2, 301, 350 x2).
 
I totally agree with Kru03, I've owned all the three models and the 200 is the only one I kept. The 350 feels the thinnest overall, but has similar liner thickness as the 200.
 
My MUDD is .730" and this 301 (not stock) is .668" thick. Despite being thicker, the MUDD seems to carry better in my pocket. I think this is due to the fact that it is noticeably less wide.

Like Kru said, the 0350 is much thinner than the others. This is because it uses flat handle slabs. The slimmest ZT (in my opinion) is the 0400. Another option would be to get thinner handle slabs for your 0200.

Phil made the orange slabs. He makes custom slabs.

Here's one he made for my 0350.

That 0301 came of my bench just a couple of days ago. I still happen to have it, so I snapped a comparison picture with my 0500.
