I love my ZT 0308 , I even purchased Micarta scales for it. Thanks for the nice review. 😃

I added the black polished micarta to mine, and completely changed my feelings on the knife. I absolutely love it now.

@TheScottyp1 4 жыл бұрын

how much were the scales?

@bigdavidcannon4 4 жыл бұрын

I purchased from USA made blades. $59.00 for the scale of if you purchase the knife with scale already installed it only cost $305.00. Thanks

I’ve owned 2 0300’s and loved them, the 308 lost me at the tan g10 but love the blade. Great video

Love the 308. Only flipper with equal non assisted action is my ZT 393 which is also awesome. Action is buttery smooth. Though will scare folks when opening. Lol

Well at least ZT calls the newer trending models what they are. Boutique knives. I have them and like them. They are incredibly nice pieces. The older ZTs have a very different feel, that's for sure. Nothing wrong with either.

I've always been a "hard use" folder kinda guy. I mean I carry a 4max in my rotation, all my friends, and, my brother are like that too.bit wasn't till later on in life that I figured out that's not everyone's thing lol. I get more edc friendly knives, and of course have some. But my favorite go to knives are always the bruisers. Glad to see the 0308 in ZTs line up. I do love the Hinderer ZTs too. The other stuff doesn't speak to me at all. Maybe the RJ martin colab. The sinkevich ones... Not so much. But to each there own.

The 308 needs the deep carry pocket clip like the 0562 family. An Aftermarket deep carry that does goes behind the scale would be a massive improvement. Hope somebody does a deep carry clip that wraps over the back and uses a shorter last spacer to fit.

I like ZT, but that price is just nuts. You can get the new Presidio for under $110, or an AD10 for $140 last time I looked. My definition of a hard work knife is a ten dollar Mora.

@terencemarkiewicz3908 2 жыл бұрын

0920 is the best zero tolerance yet I've handled and I've had the 0560 and 0562 ti but I think I'm gonna try the 0308

@gumbihilt1333 3 жыл бұрын

How in the world do you make an AD10 carryable? Carry my 4Max Scout all the time, but the AD10? With that clip? Help me out here. I have one that sits at home because I can't figure out how to make it work in pocket.

this is what a real zt is supposed to be like--exactly right in my opinion. not all zt's are this way--they're good but don't quite invoke the joy--more like a little heavier kershaw (and to be fair priced more like an upscale kershaw). i resisted the urge for the 308 because it absolutely at the edge of the envelope price wise. if you want the joy tho, you gotta pay that piper. my advice to people on the fence: buy ONLY knives that get you what you want, which means far fewer knives.

the relief cut "thinness". It is noticeably thin and thinner than the liner on show-side. On my 560 it's the same thickness. Is making the relief cut "wall" this thin actually a bad thing? Is it a point of possible failure?? No one's mentioned encountering it that I know of.... And if it were why would KAI/ZT do this? Should they not know better?? "knife building 101"? Cost....just recently in Canada they dropped the cost of the Cyote Tan version by $40.00 CAD....the black scale G10 with blk/grey tiger stripping is $490.00... Have you done a videeo comparing it to the Reate Torrent? Or your "Best 3 haard-use knives"?

If you have watched the demko testing videos from Cold Steel the ZT 0300 failed at the relief cut

I think the best ZT’s are in the middle. I don’t like the assisted 0301, 0350. They are too heavy along with 0560, weird 0220 (?). Then, I can’t stand the 0450. It’s too small for me and I’ve handled 5-6 in store and could pretty easily push lock bar over with my finger. I’m picky and don’t like flippers either but the two that were good enough to keep are the 0801Ti (don’t like the old 0801) and 0393. I had the 0562 which is good but the other two are better especially the 0801Ti.

@damienhughes7228 4 жыл бұрын

I love my 0308. Great blade, action, ergos, and I actually like the looks of it honestly. They could’ve tweaked them a little but overall I like the look. I don’t love the pocket clip but it keeps the knife in your pocket. Not everyone does but I do. Can’t wait to see what their next release brings to the table.

@@richardhansen1628 handle enough reates an wes and they go from good to great like any other premium brand reate is better then we and zt on average. But this zt is better then a good but not perfect reate No real disparagement to reate but there not perfect especially for the Money they ask makeing zt lookk like a value brand at times and WE can suck and egg for what they charge. Most zts dont hold but up this does easily . Im in the high low 30s of zts owned and this actually made me smile. (4or5 ) wes 3or4 reates by comparison

does it have bearings on ti?

@CASTRO45ACP 4 жыл бұрын

No, one side is a stainless steel liner behind the g10, the other side has a steel washer on the titanium. Honestly though I've had a 0920 for about three years and that has steel bearings on titanium and it hasn't worn a deep groove, I think it may be a little overblown.

@TheScottyp1 4 жыл бұрын

@@CASTRO45ACP yea i just got that one too. i guess we will see. im glad they put some steel there tho. cheaper to replace washers than the whole ti scales. the only thing that worryies me is overtightening the pivot cause bearing depressions. a chinese folder did this to me. dicoria sailing s35vn. so im assuming with any hard transverse pressure you can get bearing spots in the ti also. id wish they would used thick tracked washes like some of chinese. but zt are still some of my fav knives. this may be my next knife. Edit: i love me some les george desins. have the 0909 and 0920. 0920 actually has great action. in that respect ti seems to roll great on bearings. they are steel tho. not sure how ot would go with ceramic on ti.
