0350TS; Folding Pocket Knife; 3.25 in. S30V Stainless Steel Blade with Tiger-Stripe Tungsten DLC Coating, G-10 Handle, SpeedSafe Assisted Opening and Quad-Mount Pocketclip; 6.2 OZ.

I have wanted to purchase a Zero Tolerance 0350 knife for as long as I can remember. No real reason that held me back, especially since I continue to procure other knives from other companies for EDC, hunting, bug-out, utility and just for collection. I had been feeling a bit uneasy after reading all of the negative reviews regarding the counterfeit products circulating not just in Amazon, but in other sources, too. Fortunately, I was able to confirm that the 0350TS I purchased is a legitimate Zero Tolerance knife, after evaluating mine against others online, and then after contacting ZT. The knife fits comfortably in my hand, when closed or with the blade deployed. The G-10 scaling offers the right amount of tactile grip that there is no slipping in my hand. The blade is wicked sharp. Out of habit, I ran it on my ceramic rod and then a few strop passes, but honestly, that was unnecessary, but just a habit, as I noted. The Tiger Strip looks awesome! The knife is much smaller than my 0300, which is one of my favorites, but the 0350 actually fits my frame and hands better. The only thing I would have liked to change, which I may, is a longer pocket clip. The current clip provides strong retention, even in lightweight shorts, but I would feel more confident if the clip was another inch longer. Finally, the price is a steal! I recommend this knife without hesitation. I may even buy another one, in the all black-out finish. As with any knife purchased online, and not direct from the manufacturer, be sure to confirm the authenticity of it upon receipt.

The 0350 ZT comes in different styles and this particular style is quite nice. The tiger striping is quite stunning and perfectly executed, there are no flaws, this is not cheaply made. It opens quickly and easily and is razor sharp out of the box. If you have any experience with Kershaw, you know their knives are one of the top popular brands. The ZT line is a no nonsense line which are overbuilt and rugged and the next level above their normal brands and the ZT line is made in the USA. The 0350 is near the lower price end of the ZT line but you wouldn't know it by the apparent quality, feel, heft, sharpness and overall bad ass appearance of this knife. Small and light enough for EDC but not so high end that you might be afraid to use it.This would be a good introductory knife to the ZT line at around $150, the ZT line bottoms at around $100 and even those knives are superb, I started at the $100 ZT level with the tanto 0400 serrated folder. It is also a rugged and superbly made knife. I own eight ZT knives now and am hooked. This knife came in brand new flawless condition and Thompson Tools did a nice job getting it to me quickly.Kershaw has a lifetime warranty, so if you ever need to have it repaired or sharpened, just send it to them and they take care of it. They can be found on Facebook and there they will answer all of your questions. I like to post pictures of my collection there and find it is nice to be able to ask questions about new knives coming out and the availability of other knives I am looking for.

Not perfect, but a damn good folder.First of all I like ZT knives, I like the heft and the feel. Which is the same reason it's not a perfect EDC. It's heavy but a well-made flipper that looks and feels good in the hand. But, IMHO, the heft makes this a jeans only carry and too heavy for lighter material such as slacks. But when dressed up I carry more of a gentleman's folder like a Kershaw leak.What I like most about ZT knives, as the tag line says "Built like a Tank". It's fits my hand, well built, finish is superb, the blade is perfectly centered, sharp and made with a fine S30V steel. I also have a ZT 0566 which if I had to compare I would say I slightly prefer due to the Hinderer frame lock and deep carry design. But like all of Ken Onion designed knives, it's a looker...Not thrilled with the lack of a deep carry clip but the clip provided works surprisingly well. It's wide, slides on and off effortlessly and does not dig or catch and tear the pants. The knife is a little thicker than I like but fits the pocket, again, surprisingly well. I prefer the frame lock of the 566 to the liner lock of the 350 but both do the job.I'm toying with the idea of de-assisting but probably won't as the assisted opening, as with all Kershaw's and ZT's, work well.So, overall another GREAT LOOKING Ken Onion designed knife with ZT quality but lacking some top-of-the-line features I would have liked. (E.g. lighter, thinner, deep carry, frame lock, de-assisted, ball bearings instead if bushings) So, not perfect but damn good...

I bought this knife a few years ago and it just wasn't up to snuff. It didn't feel right in my hand, too stiff to close and it was just too big to keep. I returned it.Two days ago I thought I'd give it another chance and today I received it. What a difference a few years makes! This is incredibly well built, easy to deploy, easy to close, easy to carry and very sharp. And it does not feel "too big" whatsoever. The only thing I'd change would be to round out the flipper tab. It's kind of sharp compared to the rest of the knife.

Mittlerweile sammle ich seit fast 40 Jahren Messer , ob Klappmesser oder Dolch vor mir ist nichts sicher (wenn es mir gefällt).Aber dieser Folder sprengt wirklich die Ketten in Bezug auf Verarbeitung und Haptik.Bei dem Grad der hochwertigen Verarbeitung kann höchstens das Spyderco Police noch mithalten und wer ein solches besitzt kann sich diesen Vergleich vorstellen.Was leider nur schade ist …. Die Verpackung sie ist lediglich ein müder Pappkarton und nichts für die Vitrine , dass kann Spyderco besser , da gibt es zwar auch nur Pappe - aber schöner zum anschauen.Egal , dass ist Gemecker auf hohem Niveau.Schade ist nur , dass ich das ZT dank dem deutschem Waffenrecht nicht Stolz am Gürtel tragen darf.So ist das ZT also ein Vitrinen bzw Rucksackmesser , aber egal - jetzt ist es meins und ich bin glücklich.Fazit : lasst euch nicht vom Preis abschrecken , dass Stück Stahl ist jeden Cent wert.

Sehr Robustes und Wertig Verarbeitetes Klappmesser in bekannter Zero Tolerance Qualität.Das Klappmesser wirkt Trotzt der Liner Lock Verschlusses ähnlich Stabil wie meine Pohl Force Bravo ONE gen 2 und 3 mit Back Lock Verschluss.Auch das DLC Coating wirkte bei den ersten Anwendungen robust.Plus Punkte für mich:- Wertige Verarbeitung- für ein Klappmesser Extrem Stabil- Klinge aus Pulvermetallurgischem S30V Stahl.- Lebenslange Garantie vom Hersteller Zero Tolerance. (bei Klingenbruch durch eigen verschulden Ersatz für 30$ USD ).- Optisch Ansprechendes Designe von Ken Onion- 4 fach umsetzbarer Gürtel Clip.- Speadsafe Öffner der nicht zu extrem wirkt wie zB die Fendern bei div Kershaw Messern (in meinem Fall Cryo I), was ein dezentes aber Schnelles öffnen erlaubt.- Und MADE IN USA da Viele Messer Selbst in dieser Preiskategorie noch in Asien gefertigt werden. Nachteile.- Für die Größe und Stabilität recht Schwer. was mich aber in der Praxis wenig störte.- Es wird nicht Expplizit im Inserat darauf hingewiesen das dass ZT0350 NICHT §42a Konform (Tragen in der Öffentlichkeit in De ohne Grund könnte zu Problemen führen ) ist. diese Info wäre für mit dem Thema Deutsches Waffengesetz & Co weniger Vertraute Käufer sicher Hilfreich.

Das Messer hat ein sehr ausgewogenes Gesicht und ein schönes, auffälliges Design. es hat eine sehr angenehme Haptik und funktioniert einwandfrei.

Gibbs hätte seine Freude!Ein Stück für Liebhaber.
