Zero Tolerance 0350 Folding Pocket Knife; 3.25” S30V Stainless Steel Blade with Black Tungsten DLC Finish; Textured G-10 Handle Scales, SpeedSafe Assisted Opening, Liner Lock, Quad-Mount Clip; 6.2 OZ.

Truly heavyweight knife. Extremely well-made. Very durable. Excellent locking mechanism, and sharp blade. It’s one of my favorite knives.

Best folding knife. The material is good and pretty light compare to the stainless knifes I have. I’ll buy it again.

This knife is hefty. The blade is very 'tall' from belly to spine and just instills confidence that it can do what you need of it. The liner lock is very solid and there is no movement of the blade once it's open. I haven't had to sharpen the blade yet so I can't say how difficult the steel will be to sharpen but it is holding its edge very well so far. It can be a bit intimidating to others when you flip the blade open, but that is true with any assisted open knife.

Bought this thing off my boss used for $50, left it on a pallet, and shipped it somewhere in central Nebraska. Hope that person is enjoying it. The blade is nice. 4 fingers underneath and 3 fingers underneath grips feel good. Its possible to use one handed open and close, not sure how a leftie would do this. The pocket clip is tight enough it actually kind of eats the pockets of your jeans. It can open bags of dog food.

My first EDC knife was a Spyderco Native (6 years ago) followed quickly by a Spyderco Paramilitary II. After breaking the tip on the PMII by some light prying, but prying nonetheless (my fault) and not being extremely impressed with the overall strength of the knife and solidness of the lock up, I went in search of something beefier.Well, the knife gods aligned the planets and I stumbled upon the ZT 0350 around 3 years ago. It was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Great steel. Rock solid. Excellent lock-up. In a word: Beefy. Also, the 0350 is relatively inexpensive when compared to those, like Microtech for example, that blatantly copy ZT’s designs but with gaudy features while being WAY over-priced (don’t sue me).At any rate, I’ve daily carried the 0350 now for 3 years without issue. Plenty of hard use like prying, batoning, camping, cutting, box opening, etc. and the knife locks up just as tight as it did 3 years ago. The blade coating has held up impressively. I like the blade geometry, cuts extremely well and for being so beefy, I can cut with just as much precision than the PM2.The 0350 FAR exceeds the performance and build quality of the Paramilitary 2. It’s on a completely different level above that rather highly regarded Spyderco knife, and costs LESS in some cases than the PM2.I have since picked up a 0301 and just ordered a 0770, 0450cf and a 0562. These things are addictive!Pics attached of what the knife looks like after 3 years of use.EDIT: I forgot to touch on the weight. The PM2 is a light weight knife and the 0350 was noticeable at first but after a few days, I became used to the heft and size of the knife in my pocket. I also work in an office that fortunately is not business attire required and I don't wear tight pants or skinny jeans as I'm not a woman or hipster (for context I'm 6'2" 190lbs) and the 0350 really isn't that visible although I would prefer a deeper carry clip. I am cognizant about flipping the 0350 open in front of coworkers as its extreme tactical manliness could easily frighten those not used to seeing that type of knife but I carry the 0350 everyday in my office without issue.#blackknivesmatter

[To preface my "review", I've been a gun guy for over 20yrs. and am new to knives. While guns/knives are apples/oranges in many ways, similarities like materials, quality, attn to detail, fit & finish, function, et (many) al, remain; and are valid. If I don't know about something, I say so. I'll give my honest evaluation w/ the limited knowledge I've got on this topic.]After several lesser blades, I believe finally I've found a knife that's near-perfect for me. I won't speak for others, but perhaps we share the same requirements in a knife:I wanted a good-quality, American-made knife that's capable of utility/EDC tasks, some hard use if necessary, that doesn't require constant tuning and maintenance.I believe I've found all my requirements (and thensome) in the Zero Tolerance 0350.I was afraid that a 3.25" blade length may be too short for a folding knife - but it's plenty. The blade is deep, and the edge is extremely sharp from the factory. The blade is thick, even in its contoured spots.Fit and finish is outstanding. Genuinely beautiful to look at and touch/feel. The G10 has a "grippy" and tough quality.Flipper/thumb-stud blade deployment is butter-smooth, very fast, and comes out w/ authority. Lockup is tight and strong, w/o even remote blade movement in any direction.The edges throughout are finished perfectly.The detent that holds the blade securely closed when folded (I'm pretty new to knives, and can't recall nomenclature) does its job and holds the knife folded tightly until you say otherwise - which is pretty important when an extremely sharp tool is in your pocket, inches from the femoral artery and other very important body parts (ahem).I like the DLC finish. I'm familiar w/ DLC on pistol slides and/or other gun parts; I've got a gen 5 Glock 19 w/ DLC. It's tough, but certainly not immune to holster wear.I was surprised to see that knife makers have been using DLC for years before it became a "thing" for guns. I'm not sure how that would translate to knife use - I imagine enough time/work will wear the DLC on a knife blade.As a whole, I really, really love this knife.
