Anyone got any good pictures in the hand of the ZT 300 folders? Wanna see how big they are and what you think of it. Saw a post here comparing one to the Spyderco Millie, looks a cool blade. Watched the review from Nutnfancy and he gave it the thumbs up.
 
Also will second that it is a great blade. so be it a little heavy and big for EDC, however I have carried mine before. From 2006 to the start of 09 I EDCed the ZT0200. I now neck carry a Izula just because of the weight and freeing everything from my pockets. But I am sure you will enjoy a 0300 series. Wish I picked up a few more specials from TAD Gear when they had them.

Here is a picture of most my knives which you can compare the size of the 0300 to several others... Yeah I like ZT and rats.

Amazing photo :thumbup:

I carried my ZT 0300 mostly during fall/winter/early spring months. You won't be disappointed.
 
Spoolup thats just wrong. That picture is blatant knife porn!!! What a collection. :)

Whats the story on "assisted opening" though? Would it be classed the same as an auto?

No. You still have to use the flipper or thumb stud to start the blade moving. Auto is defined as a knife where you press a button or a hidden scale release (or a thumb slide like Microtech OTF knives) and the blade opens and locks open automatically.

However, cops are often very "stupid." A cop may define an assisted opening as an auto, which you can argue in court, but still. The cop will most likely write a ticket if you get caught with one, especially one with a blade length longer that what you're legally allowed to carry.

You suck, that is one of the TAD gear ones I wanted.... Boo for me for missing them. Nice piece of steel you got there man.



Blunt- Thanks. I like em... Knives are just as addicting as gun, so be it knives generally cost less.

The blade was cool with that swedge, but that digi G-10 was just paint :thumbdn:

I guess they didn't expect anyone to use them? :confused: My paint was coming off after a week of light use, IMHO you didn't miss much.

I was afraid of that. I'd been looking for digi-camo g10 but it didn't seem to exist. The closest thing I can find is micarta made from digi-camo cloth.

Take that with a grain of salt. In Washington, there are no on point decisions. But I was in court the other day, and the judge ruled that an assisted opening kershaw was a "spring blade" or "switch blade" and the person who's knife it was will have to appeal that to a higher court if he wants to challenge it. After the decision I tried to explain the difference to the judge (not my case, so I did not have a dog in the fight). The testifying officer kept trying to make a big deal of how fast it would open, when she was finally to get it to open all the way!
 
Your gonna enjoy it... its a folder that thinks it is a fixed blade. Great setup. Also on the RC6.... GREAT knife as well. I Have made it my go to camp knife, which use to be the RC5.... Which is a sharpened prybar. The main thing that turned me off to the 6 was the lack of "secure" mounting options on the sheath, back in the day when I bought mine it was just a plain injection molded sheath and some 550 cord. They now come with some sort of clip assy thing.. I ended up picking up a chestnut ridge sheath for it just before the elk... I was instantly converted... GREAT sheath, retains WELL, I got mine in green to better blend with the multicam and all my OD/ Foliage clothing. Here it is with a Foliage Kifaru E&E for reference. Keep them in mind incase you want to upgrade, again you will not be dissapointed....

Not to take things too far O/T, but seems like the recent revision to HR 2892 debunks that idea pretty well. The legal definitions of A/O and automatic are based on function, not deployment speed. Many of the people who carry and actually use one-hand openers would be able to actuate them just as fast as they would automatics. Hell, I have an old BM auto with a spring that's so flaccid, it's definitely slower than my Sebenzas, but it's still an automatic... no problem with that down here in OR, though. :)
