I am looking to get a new knife to add to my edc rotation. My budget is about 70 dollars preferably less. I realy like the zt350 but i dont like the price. I realy want something with a good blade shape that has nice belly. I would also like to have a smaller cutting edge around 3 inches. Lastly i would like it to be hefty around 5 or 6 ounces this one is not that important but its preference.




Thanks in advance
Henry

How about the Kershaw Rake. Pretty close to the 0350 in heft, nice thick liner lock, great belly and real good ergos for med hands. D2 is a fantastic edc steel. You can get blems for about $55, or a non blem for $75. I don't know why this knife get no love. I love it.
 
The Kershaw Junkyard Dog 2 is a little bigger than you wanted in the blade department, but it's incredibly stout for the price point. I bought mine back in '07(ish) and it's still going strong. 3 3/4" blade, little over 5 oz of heft, big beefy liner lock, non-mechanical flipper (no spring to wear out). I really like it. You can get the plain version for under 50 bucks and for around 70 you can get the composite steel version.

If mine was even close to being worn out, I would pick up another one. However, it's still chugging along just as strong. The JYD2 is one of the main reasons I haven't picked up a ZT300. I haven't needed to. Now that 550....THAT I might need;)

I was just thinking it sounds like you are describing the Kershaw Rake! Thats what I would get in a heartbeat.
