I like the 350. However, I think that the 0200 is the better sized and more useful knife. You have both though so you should be all set for life.... you can go ahead and sell all your other knives

It practically is with the size of those liners.

I think its allright, but wouldnt buy it again. Think the handle is too short for my hands and the serrations are way too agressive causing them to really bite into stuff and get stuck.
On the other side the build quality is great, locks up nice, excellent steel and looks pretty good too.

The thickness of the mechanism isn't the only superior characteristic of a framelock.

Just got my 350 a couple of days ago, have been doing an A/B comparison between it and my Tyrade Ti....the 350 is around 10-15% smaller overall, and an ounce lighter than the Ti. Build quality, fit & finish on the 350 is quite good, liners are thick and the lock snaps into place with authority. There`s no blade play, it locks up like the proverbial bank vault. The dual thumb studs are basically useless for opening the blade, and look to serve only to reinforce blade lockup against indentations in the front of the liners. The flipper is well-positioned, and snaps the blade out with a minimum of effort....very tidy. The G-10 scales are very ergonomic, feel like 220-grit sandpaper, and provide a good purchase. The S30V blade has nice even grind lines, the included angles make it a decent slicer, and it did a good job of whittling some seasoned cherry wood that I had around the garage. I really like this knife, it will more than likely stay in my EDC rotation for some time.
