Dave, My ZT 0301 arrived today. ( ordered early saturday morning, arrived wednesday and that was with the holiday, plus Dave is on the other side of the US. Lightening Fast Shipping and well packaged to boot ) The knife is absolutely awsome. I feel the quality is even better than my strider smf. Big, grippy, well built knife. This knife is a tank and I love it. It even dwarfs my umnumzaan. After looking for quite awhile, I found the blem. I cant believe ZT would even call this mark a blem !!! Strider sells knives for $500 that have multiple blems and worse. ZT has some of the best QC in the business. With the ZT, your getting a strider smf like knife ( much better quality than the smf in my opinion ) for only about 30% of the price............Dave, Your the best, I will definately be back for more.
