Very cool comparison. Very even. I love that the Kershaw came out on top because it's more affordable haha. That ZT is a spiffy looking knife though. Someday I'll have to upgrade from my Gerber's .
I just got a knockout in m390 for $99.0] I really find it hard for me to buy a knife over 100.00 mainly because I lose them way before I damage them I've seen a few zts that look cool but are to big for me also nice job bro
KAI USA is the parent company of Kershaw, ZT, and Shun Cutlery. ZT is the higher end all USA knives. Kershaw is the budget brand, basically. Shun is kitchen knives.
+PREPFORIT Lol Im never wrong right? I did it as fair as I could and the zt didnt perform at a level that I feel is worth 100 bucks more. I prefer the knockout. Yeah I rode a lot last year, life has prevented it this year but im making the get fit challenge a priority.
+Glocked 17 there is always a microscopic burr on the very edge of the blade, use can separate them or push them to one side...example if you run a blade on a diamond stone to sharpen...the opposite side that you sharpened will feel sharper because the burr is pushed to that side. Using a leather strop with compound will push them back together and give you the sharpest cleanest edge possible.
I agree completely, I have the same knives and definitely like the Kershaw best. It has a great smooth flip out blade, but as you mentioned the Kershaw is half the weight and I can't feel it in my pocket and it has a sturdy no wobble blade. I was looking at a Red Knockout on" The Kershaw Guy"...$52.00 for a blimished one.
TheLankyWoodsman Sure thing, I have the Black Kershaw, but that blemished RED one looked awesome. I have the ZT301 and love this knife, but once again this knife is real heavy, and could cut down a tree and also has the smoothest bearing system for the blade deploy but when it comes to carrying a knife you can't beat the Kershaw for its light weight and sturdy blade. Plus the 301 is too expensive to really use. Keep up the good reviews.
I'm sorry but that zt 0350ts looks like a clone. My I ask where did u buy from. It may be the lighting but even the tiger stripe is a lighter color than what I've seen.
TheLankyWoodsman I did the same. I hated the factory pocket clip on the 0350. I just got the Knockout but I am liking it so far but I can't say anything bad about the 0350 either except that the pocket clip sucks. I don't know which I would choose if I had to pick one.
