ZT Knives

[Vinnie the Nose]

I am thinking about getting one of their Strider collaboration assisted folders.Anyone have one? This would be the most I have ever spent on a knife, but for once I would like to get something of very high quality. I tried to do a search but can't do anything less than 4 letters. Would I just be better off waiting another month and spending another $100-$150 and get a real Strider or a Sebenza? Admittedly I have no real use for a knife like this except it would just be fun to have.:jerkit: Thanks guys.

sometimes you can find an 0300 for sale here. I think there is still one selling for $220, a coyote brown one. I bought an 0200, which is an unassisted liner-lock rather than an assisted frame-lock like the 0300, and it is the bomb. Or bomb-proof, actually.

In comparison to a real strider or sebenza, the first difference is that neither of those is assisted. Beyond that, each knife has a completely different feel. Sebenze is simple, sleek and refined. Striders are angular and "brute force." The ZT that I have is a combination of Strider's tank-like build quality plus the great Ken Onion designed ergonomics that (1) just locks the handle into the hand, and (2) provides a really unusual blade shape that is much more useful than I would have thought.

So, any of the 3 you mention will be solid workhorses. It's more a question of what appeals to your personal aesthetics.
