For those of you that have experience with them would you buy a Zero Tolerance again? Are they worth what they cost? Are there any problems I should be aware of before I buy one?

I would buy a Zero Tolerance before I bought a Benchmade ever again.....great knives, that are damn near indestructible in my hands.

Just ordered a ZT 550 today and the reviews have been very favorable from what I've seen online. The framelock and size were the main selling points for me after hearing of the overall brand quality.

Thanks for the replies. I just ordered a 0561 Hinderer. Its the sharpest looking knife I have seen in a while.

Re: How Good are Zero Tolerance Knives
I have an 0300 that picked up at the start of 08. Its still running strong. And I am hard on all my gear. I bent out the belt clip a little somehow. Talked to them about fixing it at SHOT this year. They offered to do it no charge plus give it a once over/ tune up and sharpening. Turn around time of an extremely reasonable 2-3 weeks. I still havent done it cause it isnt that big of a deal, plus I fear I may get seperation anxiety. LOL. You are gonna love it

Re: How Good are Zero Tolerance Knives
I was in the same spot about 3 weeks ago. After comparing benchmade to ZT and picking me up a ZT350TS and using it for a little bit this knife is made to be worked. I let me friend who doesn't believe there is any other knife other then benchmade, use my ZT for a day he couldn't believe how rugged the knife is built and how solid it feels. For ruffly half the money I wouldn't think twice about buying/using my ZT in any situation and know it will survive. Just ordered me a ZT560 today

Re: How Good are Zero Tolerance Knives
I have had a 0200 for about 5 years. Carried almost everyday. Multiple delpoyments. Still my go to knife, but it is a big knife to get used to carrying.

Re: How Good are Zero Tolerance Knives
Great knives. I have a 301 and it will cut down small trees yet fits in my pocket.

Re: How Good are Zero Tolerance Knives
have/had an 0350....carried it for a long time, until I got my Ritter/Cuscadi custom one done...now I only carry that. My next knife, though, will be either a small sebbie or an 0550...or 0650

Re: How Good are Zero Tolerance Knives
Could have sworn I just replied to a Zero Tolerance thread like this. I carry a 0200 for a few years now, it is as good as any knife I have ever had. Buy with confidence, if I needed another knife I'd get the Hinderer Zero Tolerance, cant remember the model name off hand.

Re: How Good are Zero Tolerance Knives
Just got the 550. So far it's very impressive and built like a tank. No play in the lockup at all, and super sharp.

Re: How Good are Zero Tolerance Knives
I have several zero tolerance and benchmade knives. Zero tolerance are more robust, tougher, and lock up with less movement. But they are also heavier.

Re: How Good are Zero Tolerance Knives
I need a one handed knife. I replaced several Benchmade automatics with a 0350ST a couple of years ago. The Kershaw is more reliable opening when they get dirty and can be operated with gloves. I've used and abused mine doing everything from dressing elk to digging out tansy out of the ground.
I also had the opportunity to talk to the guy that heads up the ZT division of Kershaw. The warranty is absolute.
My only complaint is that the blade is too broad behind the point. J-Newton's regrind addresses that. The ZTs are a superb tool.

Re: How Good are Zero Tolerance Knives
I have several BMs, Spyderscos and ZTs. the ZTs are rugged, warranteed and sharp. the 350 is good everyday carry blade, the 301 is a tank. heavy, but indestructible, and the 560 is SMOOOOTH!
I do like the ZTs, but Benchmade has a place for anything where a good point is needed. the ZTs are tough, but the wide blade can inhibit delicate cuts. IMHO
