Unfortunately I lost my 0350 my wife bought me a few years ago. What really sucks is I know the area that I lost it in and it's not there, I know someone I work with has it and won't return it..

Anyways, I'm in the market for another ZT I think. I can't afford the Medford I want. I have a 0301 that I will carry in the meantime, but I want something lighter.

I want a frame lock flipper, maybe CF. I was looking at the 0450CF or something similar.

Your thoughts and opinions are welcome.

I love my 0450CF.  It's my EDC.

Yes watch amazon as they have been listing zt well below any dealer I seen. Picked up a 566cf like the poster above said, picked up zt562 for 129.  They also had a zt350 89.99 too.

ZT 0450CF  

PROS:
Slim, lightweight, nice blade, bearing system so slick you'll swear it's an assisted opening mechanism.

   Made in the USA
   KVT ball-bearing opening system
   Flipper
   Reversible clip (left/right)
   Titanium frame lock, hardened steel lockbar insert
   Steel: S35VN, DLC coating
   Handle: Carbon fiber front, titanium back
   Blade Length: 3.25 in.
   Blade Thickness: 0.121 in.
   Closed Length: 4.1 in.
   Overall Length: 7.4 in.
   Weight: 2.4 oz.

Note: for some reason, the ZT website lists the 0450CF as being 2.7 oz.  It is actually 2.4 oz, which i have confirmed on my scale as well via several other resources.

My only complaints are that it doesn't come with a deep carry clip, and the blade has a little more belly and a little less drop than I would prefer.  I also would like the option of an uncoated (naked steel) blade.

a review of the non CF version 0450:  http://knifeinformer.com/zero-tolerance-0450-review/

"Now, they may not officially offer a deep carry clip for this knife, but if you call or go online and request a replacement clip for your 0560, lo and behold it fits perfectly on the 0450 as well. Thanks for that happy little coincidence, ZT!"

My 450 CF has a silver tone 0560 deep carry clip on it.  I tried a couple of different aftermarket black deep carry clips, but the ZT clip is much nicer even if it is a color mismatch.

I got back from work this evening and my 0350 was under my windshield wiper blade.... I was happy to see it.


Thanks everyone.
