ZT 0230!

Cool knife, and props to ZT for doing something different for a change, but MAN that is one ugly, impractical blade shape. If that had something like a 0450 blade I’d love it

 

The sheepsfoot blade is pretty popular on traditional knives...why would it be "impractical" on a modern slipjoint?

 

Wut? Ugly is in the eye of the beholder, but it's a simple sheepsfoot blade, doesn't get much more practical or utilitarian than that.

And I'm sort of amazed, ZT has finally made a knife that I genuinely want. Kudos to them!

 

It sure is! As I find the knife ugly and have absolutely zero interest in purchasing.

 

I just wish it had a deep-carry clip.

 

My only complaint is the carbon fiber. Really dig everything else.

 

Impractical for me at least. My daily knife use requires something with a tip. Looks good for slicing up some ham tho....I know everyone has different tastes, just not my style...still glad they’re doing something different, I am a big fan of ZT knives

 

I would happily buy a ZT slip joint, but IMO the 0230 suffers the same insta-nope fate that most Anso designs do for me by way of the inclusion of that fugly Anso hoop in the design. It may be some weird personal thing, but I hate that on every knife I see with it.

 

I dig it, but Im going to have see how it holds up to a spine whack test

 

I agree. Wish they ditched that and included a deep carry clip. For people who wouldn’t want a clip they could just remove it.

 

Thanks for the review and the vid.

 

But then there would be fugly holes all over a slip joint (because if they're going to add a clip, it has to be 4 position adjustable so nobody whines that it doesn't work for the way they want to carry - R,L,U,D)

 

See this is how you do a video review. No stupid music, weird logos and annoying voices. It wasn't 15 minutes of some dude filling time by blabbing endlessly about useless facts or the merits of the box coloring or what he had for dinner. Under a minute and a half even! Bravo good sir, bravo.

 

It's gonna cost me about $220, and I probably wouldn't carry it ever, but dammit I want one.

 

I actually dig this one. I would like a pocket clip on it for my personal needs, but I would rather buy this than any of the knives they have released in the last couple of years.

 

Now.that's how a video review is supposed to be! Thank you sir.for your efforts. They are much appreciated. Knife.is not.for me but impeccable presentation!

It's unfortunate there isn't a pocket clip. For that reason I'm passing.
