Kershaw ZT "Zero Tolerance" 0400 S30V Tactical Folding Knife - Amateur Review (High Quality)

This is my review of the Kershaw ZT "Zero Tolerance" 0400 Tactical Folder. This knife features a Tungsten DLC coated S30V stainless-steel tanto style blade. This is the plain edge variety vs. the combination edge with serrations. The handle is made from machined black anodized aluminum with Trac-Tec inserts for added grip. This knife has a Wilson tactical lanyard attached in the black/grey variety. This knife retails for $150 but can be purchased online for around $120. I recommend Dave's Knife World if you want to buy the knife and lanyard together. It is what you would consider a small store, but the service is good and I am satisfied with my transaction.

Excuse my stupidity, but what purpose does a lanyard serve in a knife fight? Easier draw?

[protreats]

@Axium86

A lanyard allows you to draw the knife faster and creates a diversion hanging if/when you go into a knife fight. It also looks very cool if that kind of thing matters to you (it does to me). You want to get paracord only though; they are super-high quality and have a secondary purpose of providing cordage if needed in an emergency by being unraveled.

BEAUTIFUL blade!

@grantman234533

Yes it is, thank you.

I just bought this today,looks wicked!

These are supposedly tough as nails.

[protreats]

@dgl1962 Tough as nails is right. Mine has some signs of EDC, but it is holding up superbly. I love my knife and I will never part with it. My next knife will be a Wilson Tactical RRF, but with a $350-400 pricetag - it's quite the upgrade.

If you want an awesome mid to high quality knife (mid in comparison to a Wilson Tactical RRF) this is the one you want. YOU WILL LOVE IT

use a knife to pry with and if you dont have a knife you can use your crow bar to cut cake with !!!

[ivageivage]

only thing i don't like is that recurve, everything's bad ass about it and the coolness factor is sky high... only thing im worried bout is it's utilitarian abilities.. hmm

[shadowstormreviews]

Hey Man nice review, they look of impecable quality and durabitiy, id love to get one some day but for now i have only normal kershaws haha. in your other video you said you resharpened it, how did that work out for you? in my experience with harder steels and bizzare blade shapes it is hard to get a edge back on it..

[monkeyedge1]

Good review. Good Knife.

[glutn4punshmnt]

Have you tried resharpening with that blade shape? Just curious since I'm used to very traditional blade designs like straight tanto types and drop points.

@w5monkey LOL...you can count on it being opened a million times...After I fell in love with it I couldnt help myself...

[w5monkey]

@Jeenyus1983 You must have flicked that thing a million times, lol. Interesting thing about springs is that they won't lose their resiliency wether compressed or open. Only when they are repeatedly used will they break down. Kershaw should hook you up with spares regardless.

[Jeenyus1983]

I have the kershaw BLKST---Its basicly a black blur with a black 14C tanto blade with speedsafe of course...well--the stinkin spring just broke and now theres no spring assist!! I sent it back to kershaw...I could NOT beleive my Kershaw broke in less than a year!

[sauliusipsc]

Well made and beautiful, just the liner lock blurs the shine of gold:)
