Sidearms & Scatterguns Zero Tolerance 0300

[operatorj]

I have been thinking of picking up a Zero Tolerance 0300 for a edc/on duty knife and was wanting some feed back from anyone who has them. I am looking for pros and cons.

Re: Zero Tolerance 0300

Most comments are very positive, just big. And no don't have one, but spoke with some knife builders who had hands on....while i was selecting my build.

So beyond size for EDC. the other complaints are more or less the same as SB vs USO vs NF vs Hens...... each one is a POS to someone.

I have 2, very strong but slightly large inside the pocket. When you need to cut/chop something, these things take a lickin and keep on tickin

VERY strong pocket clip, would likely wear out fabric if not bent out a bit (loosened up). I sold both of mine, they are strong knives but I never warmed to them.

I have a Zero Tolerance 0300 and like it. As others have mention takes a licking and keeps on ticking. However, there a heavier than others. I carry a SOG Trident Tanto - Black TiNi. It's lighter, but I wouldn't use it to pry something open as it's not as strong as the ZT.

Re: Zero Tolerance 0300

Thanks for all the replies. I carry a Emerson Mini-Commander now and am just looking for something a little bigger and rugged. I would love a Strider but they are WAY out of my price range. I can be pretty hard on knives and the Zero Tolerance seems to fit the bill for what I need.

Well I got to handle a ZT 0350 today and that is what I ordered. Seemed like a good balance of size,weight,and strength. Hope I like it.

Re: Zero Tolerance 0300

I've handled the ZTs, and know a couple people that own/use them. They seem like a well made, durable knife, but I just don't care for the blade shape. Seems like it's shaped more like a skinning knife than an EDC knife.

Re: Zero Tolerance 0300

The 0300 I think is a little big for EDC but a great knife.
I use the 0400 and can't use it enough.

Re: Zero Tolerance 0300

My 0350 showed up today and so far I am impressed. good balance of weight and size. I think it will serve me well.

Re: Zero Tolerance 0300

i LOVE my 0350...carried one of many various bm grips until i got the 0350 and haven't edc'd anything since getting it last year, and i usually buy a knife a month or more...have been focusing on fixed blades now that i have the 0350

Re: Zero Tolerance 0300

Re: Zero Tolerance 0300

I carry a 302 ED and love it. It is just as strong as any of the others I looked at or own. holds a super edge with the spyderco sharpener.

Re: Zero Tolerance 0300

I have a 0350 also and like it alot. Got it for Christmas last year and have been carrying it since. Put my Strider on the shelf. Good knife.

Re: Zero Tolerance 0300

I am very impressed with the 0350. Locked myself out of the house this weekend and had to use it to pry my door. All it did was put some lite scuffs on the blade coating. Just a little solivent on it and it looked good as new.
