I saw that knife and I thought they screwed up the prices again cause, there's no way... So it's a clone! Honestly, I'd like to see you BANG on that sucker to see how well it holds up!!!

[@Riley3999]

Probably the only time I want to pick up a clone just cause ZT0006 is way too overpriced but I like it's design

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

Dude I reviewed this one and I only have the Clone and it's tied in the sheath and overall excellent knife good fit and finish $50 Amazon!

[@masterxiong7368]

​@@jerrydonquixote5927 I can't find it on Amazon. What are some words to search?

[@linkbond08]

I have a Blackhawk dagger in D2, it's great.

[@brr8888]

I’d love to see a hard use test on the fake.

[@haptagud]

Check out nutnfancy "Fixed Blade Wilderness Testing: ZT 6" + Survival Saw". It looks like he reviews the clone by accident.

[@fkr6051]

Hey, I have that clone too (yeah I have all the existing clones...) I made a vids on it but nice to see VS original. My Chinese vendor told me it is DC53 steel and usually he is right and knows it's business, I doubt it is D2 as recently Chinese use for clones either DC53 or 9CR18MOV... So'will bet on first one but can also be the other. However both are decent steel even if I like more DC53, and I used that clone for a bit and was very satisfied how it performs and hold the edge!

[@peterbiltknifeguy]

Very cool! Yeah. It seems decent for a clone

[@jorgefernandez6407]

@@fkr6051 DC-53 would be nice! I'll take 8 or 9 cr too... Oh wait, have that knife!

[@alex-loxa]

They put 000 because they think in the future they want to make 10000 model’s and yours was model 6

[@SteinzVsKnives]

yes id love to see how well the fake one holds up since some of the fake temu knives i got are actually amazing and stand right there with the real thing!

[@peterbiltknifeguy]

Me too. It seems well built

[@SteinzVsKnives]

@@peterbiltknifeguy hell yea ive got 9 more cheap ass temu knives to test cant wait to see how much abuse they can withstand lol

[@peterbiltknifeguy]

😂 right!

[@ridingincognito3300]

​@@peterbiltknifeguy I have this same fake and I have some photos of one big flaw with the knife and how I repaired it. Basically the nut inside the handle is too small for the tang so it doesn't catch inside the cut out. Even with Loctite if you use it for hard use it will rattle loose and the handle will become loose. My fix was to make a custom square nut at 9.5mm tapped with a m4 thread

[@peterbiltknifeguy]

@@ridingincognito3300 that’s awesome.

[@ridingincognito3300]

@@peterbiltknifeguy Mind you, I knew it was a fake when I bought it from Aliexpress. I had the intention to use it without care and after that small fix it's been much better than I expected. It has gotten a super slight bend along the blade edge now after spending 5 mins hammering it through a knot in a chunk of old Ironbark wood(it's much harder than most woods you get in America) but it didn't chip and it's pretty much gone after a couple sharpens anyway.

[@jorgefernandez6407]

Bro, got one! Scary! They're getting good at cloning these knives! But you know, it's worth buying it just to trade the sheaths!!! Not gonna lie, I like it. STILL would like to see a hard use video on it! Maybe those interested (like me) should pass the hat so you don't have to fit the whole bill??? :)

[@peterbiltknifeguy]

I plan on doing a hard use soon. I just need to clear up my backlog first lol. And yes. Scary close

[@juanestrada9567]

I recently bought a clone on Amazon 0006

[@peterbiltknifeguy]

Awesome

[@bhunt919]

Love the design and look of the zt0006 and I'm not a fixed blade guy but there are way better options for the price. The knife is more look than function.

[@Kris_Stiletto]

Great Video! Thank you for making us all aware! :-) Peace, Stiletto :-)

[@peterbiltknifeguy]

lol. Thanks

[@jerrydonquixote5927]

I reviewed this one and I don't have the real one, but I wanted it. Now that I've got the fake, I don't even care about the real one. It came tight in the sheath and excellent fit and finish. It is a very very good knife and I don't mean budget knife or clone. It is a good knife period! I'm thinking about buying a second one because I just like it that much I just wish I knew what kind of steel it had. I'd say it was a little hard to sharpen, but only the Belly of the blade where the steel gets a little thicker on the grind. But I mean not overly hard, I just had to remove a little more steel on that part. Thanks for the comparison!

[@peterbiltknifeguy]

Awesome. Yeah. The real one is almost too expensive to even use. They did a great job

[@transporter3773]

Good👍 Test go go~~

[@morganacanon]

This will end up like your m-tech trailmaster clone. Good enough to thrash on, cheap enough not to care. Chinese crap is really starting to shine in my opinion. Dc53 smokes a lot of the American blades that are getting by on name alone (cough cough buck and gerber). I'd love to see a hard use comparison on these knives.

[@peterbiltknifeguy]

Hard use video is definitely coming

[@bwax1542]

So now I gots to go do some research on DC53 Steel and see what the fuss is about. Like others here, I do want to see a side by side dual between these two. I own the ZT 006 so I want to see if my money was spent well ...... or not!

[@CNYKnifeNut]

The people that bash the price of the 0006 are the same ones slobbing Vero's knob for his $300+, 3", titanium scaled fixed blade design made by Bestech. The price of the 0006 is fine, and this is coming from someone who almost never buys production fixed blades because better customs are always available for the same (or less) money.

[@scottf.3808]

At the end of the day that clone will fool 80% of the folks....Remember we are talking about the general public not just knife folks....Well done as sad to see though....Good and informative vid....Good stuff....

[@peterbiltknifeguy]

Thanks Scott. Wanna buy a ZT? 😂

[@scottf.3808]

[@WhatsthePOINT_EDC]

Sweet knife for sure. The fake is pretty good all things considered. I’m not a fan of clones but they did a good job. Haha!👊🤘🤣

[@peterbiltknifeguy]

Lol. The did. Damn Chinese

[@trekfortruth2841]

A shame nutnfancy was fooled...good on ya for catching it.

[@peterbiltknifeguy]

It’s probably very easy to be fooled without something to compare it to. I know it was the knockoff within a minute of his video just by the sheath alone. I really hope he didn’t get burned and pay the full $$$ for it. I hope he sees my comment

[@the.sharpestedge]

Nice video my friend! Did you happen to notice a slight weight difference between the two? The replicated version is slightly heavier than the original. It is truly a great clone; for folks that want a ZT-style blade, but don't have the means to purchase the original... although worth every penny for sure. Definitely not CPM 3V for sure... you are right on the money with D2. It seems china uses only 440C and D2 these days ... when they are not stamping CPM 3V on their D2 blades 😉 Really enjoyed the video... keep them coming 😎👍🇺🇲

[@peterbiltknifeguy]

I didn’t notice a huge weight difference on these two. But maybe I’m not that good lol

[@pab1822]

If you type in "0006 knife" it should pop up, the description will give all the specs of the real ZT, but you'll know its the fake mainly by the price (~$45) and the fact it won't say Zero Tolerance anywhere (current brand as of writing this is 'noxozoqm', that may change if it gets taken down or another company makes their own fake)

[@arifalanshori]

Take a look at the Indonesian master T KARDIN knife

Sometimes I think the transition of the term “D2” in China just means “Steel”... That said, I would almost bet the clone would hold a better edge...Go ahead, prove me wrong...lol

What is a fake? The product is there, it's usable. When the marketing and the brand matters more, than they will keep making "fakes".

[@peterbiltknifeguy]

It’s a total ripoff

[@RecycledSoul]

The kydex shieth on the Knockoff looks considerably better 😂. You can definitely see some differences in the knives. The hilt and the pommel are much beefier on the real deal, but other than that, and a very likely heat treatment and blade steel inferiority on the knockoff, you're probably getting a greater value with the knockoff, honestly. I think $600 is a bit over the top for the ZT.
