After getting to fondle Tyler's Zero Tolerance 0300 at NFA day, I decided I had to have one. So after quite a bit of looking around and getting a hook-up on one, I bought a new ZT 0301. So far, I love the knife, just getting used to it now, it's a wicked hunk of S30V/G-10/Titanium....
Kershaw Zero Tolerance 0302 Folder Knife with SpeedSafe
ZT and Strider joined forces to design this top-quality combat folder equipped with SpeedSafe® manual assisted opening. The ambidextrous thumb stud or blade protrusion enables you to deploy the blade one-handed. In addition to SpeedSafe®, the 0301 features a tough S30V stainless-steel blade with “Tiger Stripe” Tungsten DLC (Diamond Like Carbon) coating, which enhances hardness and reduces friction drag—as well as providing a non-reflective camo surface.
The blade is matched with Coyote Brown G-10 scales, 3-D machined to provide a secure grip. A 3/8-inch hex head pivot shaft nut makes field adjustments possible with minimal tools. Includes a quad mounting system for tip-up, tip-down, left- or right-handed clip carry.

I knew I would suck you in, bwahahahahahahahha! and coletrane did it not feel smaller after carrying it for awhile? when I first got mine I wasn't sure that I wanted to carry it as it is so big but now it almost feels small to me.
Well, after carrying it a couple of days, I'm still getting used to it, but it's easily the best and highest quality folder I've ever owned. Don't get me wrong, it's a huge mother, but so was the M16-14SF I carried before the ZT. I'd recommend one if anyone's on the fence about them, I certainly was, but I'm still glad I bought it.
To quote Sir Henry Royce, "The quality will remain when the price is forgotten."
