    Zero tolerance?

    i know this forum does not get much attention, but I was wondering how many of you carry for EDC and use zero Tolerance knives and how well they hold up or how much abuse they can take. I just bought a few and so far I really like them.

    I just got a Zero Tolerance yesterday and so far I like it. I thought when I opened the package that it was kinda bulky, but after handling it a while, the size is just right. So now when I'm at work and can't carry my pistol, I have the ZT in a sheaf on my left side and my Strider in my right pocket.

    I have carried a folding knife every day for the past 20 years or so. Zero Tolerance? Never heard of them.

    ZT is a division of KAI USA (aka Kershaw). Their focus is military/LE style folding knives. I don't own one personally, my 10+ year old Spyderco is still holding up fine, so can't comment on quality first hand, but if Kershaw USA is involved, I'm guessing it will be pretty good.

    so far I have bought 3 801, 566 and 0200 they seem to be high quality and sharp as a razor blade, I think the 801 is my favorite it opens by ball bearings at the blade and opens as fast and much smoother than the assist opening, plus don't have to worry about it opening in pocket unintentionally

    I have had Kershaw knives over the years. My favorite was my DW Officer, which I left on the front bumper of a customer's car. I now carry a Swiss Army Knife.....every day for the last 20 years.

    After acquiring several nice knives, I find the knife I use daily is a Benchmade. I carried a Gerber for many years before losing it.

    I just bought an 0350. Only had it for about a week so can't comment on its durability. First impression is it is very well made though bulky. The spring assist works great and is on par with my Benchmade that I've carried for a long time.

    So far I am impressed.
