Graced with the ownership of a brilliant ZT 302 (light brown colored G10 scale on one side) this chilly November. A knife I've aspired to since the time it was just a rumor.

My congratulations to Kershaw, Kai, Ken Onion & Strider Knives. The sculpted handle would make Michaelangelo jealous. Carved titanium, oh my! The opening snap involuntarily forces lizard brain exclamatory language from my dropped jaw. I feel as if a knife from the future has been sent back to me somehow.

It doesn't feel heavy or big IMHO. You should have handled the prototype, as I was lucky enough to have done, now that was heavy. Excellent work triming down that beast to this production knife. Genius, really. None of you involved in the production of this knife will ever have to prove your competence in any other way.

You have my kind thank you for exceeding my cutlery dreams.

WOW!

I've had my ZT 302 for a couple of weeks now and I'm liking it more each day.
In fact, it's in my right front pocket now, with a lot of other nice folders sitting in the drawer. Enjoy!
 
I'm looking to trade for a ZT 301 (the "green brother" to the 302), but then, if I ever do end up with a ZT 301, that would leave my beloved Cyclone sitting in my knife-drawer.
 
OD brown...seen enough of it in my lifetime...I'm still waiting for the next release of the all black TAD version!
 
I can't begin to pretend to be able to defend the gray and black flame broiling camoflage usually found on the blade. It scares me a bit more that a bare blade, however, and maybe I know why.

You can't see the blade in the usual sense. It doesn't look like a knife because your eyes are confused without the shiny metal appearance usually associated with a knife blade.

Like tiger's stripes. It brings up the fear when you have a predator wearing hard to see camo that you won't see it coming. Ever walk thru the jungle at night? I have.

However, you will hear it coming as the opening thwunk sounds like a gun's receiver slamming home.

I have had one for a couple of weeks and I will keep carrying as my EDC. I have had many EDC's, but the 302 is by far the greatest knive I have ever held. I hope all of you get one soon. Thanks, Jason
 
I have a satin finished 0300 and I love it it rotates in my EDC heavily. I removed the torsion bar and it really is a hell of a knife.
