Hey guys, I've been eyeing this one for a while and can't seem to find many reviews on it. Is it worth buying for it's price tag? Plan on using it, so I don't want to spend the money if it's not really worth it. Charlie Mike gave it the O-K, but I figure more opinions never hurt.
 
If you look around I'm sure you could find one for a bit less than most are advertised.

What will it be used for?

If you just want a bigger knife for chopping and such then id say go with a camp 10, 14 or 18
Or a Becker of some sort.

It is from what I hear a good knife..
 
It's really more of a collectable, though I'd take it camping and use it and such. I don't plan on using it hard, but I'd want to know if it could handle it or not. Plus if it's just quality or not.

If that's how your gonna use it I'd go for it, it's a ZT it's awesome in other words!
 
Oh it'll handle it just fine. It's a 1/4 piece of S30V, full tang construction. You'll notice the handle is the blade stock sandwiched by the G10. It runs the whole length of the handle, as well at the width.. The tip of the ZT-9 is pointy and fine however, so treat it as you would another fine tip.

ZT's stuff is all quality. I haven't had one that wasn't fantastic.
 
I bought a 2nd hand LNIB for 185$ shipped and saw one at a dealer for 195$ shipped new. I also scored a blem for 165$. Used ones might go for a bit less.
 
I don't see the second hand ones come up very often but I definately want to get ome someday. Just looks so insanely awesome.
