This is my first review - with iPhone photos - so please be gentle!
Specs from ZT;
S30V Blade 3.375 long .121 thick
Overall 8.125
Weight 4.2oz
If you are familiar with the ZT line you will be surprised with the light weight, this is mostly down to the skeletonised liners and the the thinner handle. However, you will be pleased to know that the strength remains.
The blade is thick and has a nice stonewashed finish, the tip is strong and the grinds are even and sharp out of the box (this has the best edge grinds of the three ZT's I have, very even and easy to sharpen / strop)
The clip is the standard ZT and is suitble for left hand / right hand tip up carry.
The action is smooth and the lockup secure, both with the flipper and the ambi thumb studs (which are worthy of note they are small and angled quite unique and very functional) the knife once locked has the usual ZT feel of bombproof reliability.
Overall I think this is a very good value semi tactical knife, it has pretty good practical EDC traits if you like the tanto blade shape - I can't believe the lack of information on this blade - I really like it!
The lanyard hole is a bit small and won't take doubled up pararcord - that may be a problem for some...
But for the price I say it's a winner.
Any questions comments welcomed!
