OK I am convinced that one of these will be my next edc. My question is to those who have both: since owning both, is there a model that seems to "fit" for you better? Why? One of the issues I am wondering about is if the 300 series fills up your pocket to the point that it becomes too full of knife? The 350 seems the best of both worlds but that 300 framelock and texture seem to get in my skull and I cant get it out of my head. That coyote brown and stripy blade on the 300 is in my afterimage when I close my eyes............make it stop, make it stop!!!!
 
Just a little motivational push.

My no nonsense opinion of this is:
Being that the 0350 is 10% smaller, comes in at a different price point, has a liner lock, and flat G10, those are the only real differences that I can see. I do own both. Same blade shape, blade steel, ergonomics are about the same. The 0301 is thicker, but if you have caliper pockets and can tell the difference then that is a topic for another thread all together. If this knife fills up your pocket, then you probably have tiny pants. I carry the 0303 with a wallet in the same pocket and there is no issue with reaching in and pulling out the wallet when need. ALso, the tan G10 version you mention, it's discontinued, good luck finding one if that is what you want. They are on average scarce and when they do pop up, they go for around $325+ from what I've seen. ;)
 
Ok, thanks guys. Is the green one like singularity's available? I like that one about the same as the discontinued tan one.
BTW Singularity, nice pic. You guys are making it hard for me in a good way. The ZT's seem rock solid.
 
Don't forget the ZT 0300 is very heavy. Like caring a soup can in your pocket. I like big knives for edc but the 0300 was way too heavy and I sold it. The 0350 is much more edc friendly.
