This knife reminds me of a Puma 370 or even a Puma packer mixed with an Ontario Air Force survival knife, brings back memories for us old school folk, with high end modern materials and a lil groovy twist to the design!

I personally love this knife. I love the ergos of it and it feels like its built like a tank. Yeah 300 is a lot to drop on a folder but you're getting what you pay for. Buy an infidel and then this won't seem so bad.
@311Nate_Allen4 жыл бұрын
Also I did some math and my Kabar is 60 USD which means this k life is roughly 5-6 times the price. Makes me laugh because I live the kabar and I love this folder. In the knife world, you can get almost anything you want, just be prepared to pay for it.

I think it's a great looking knife! I've carried a CRKT M16-14 everyday at work for over 7 years but when I wanted something a bit higher end I picked up a ZT 452cf and the build quality is top notch! ZT are making some great knives, and right here in the USA!

Aesthetically, I think it's just fine. And as you showed, it can take some abuse. My one and only gripe is the same gripe I have with the majority of ZT knives, and that's the price although this one is a bit more affordable than most. I would most certainly consider it if I had unlimited disposable income. Dreams are free right?

I'll repeat what I said on another review, it reminds me of the KABAR marine knife. From what I can gather it looks like a good user knife. Only downside is unless you are a ZT collector the price is too high for an everyday beater. I think a lot of the price in most knives is driven by this KZbin/ chat room created knife one upmanship. Knives seem to have left being tools and entered the realm of little children trading baseball and Pokemon cards. My grandfather accomplished every cutting task he needed to do with an old hunting knife and a two bladed Barlow pocket knife.

I get that some think it looks like a cheap gas station abomination. From a distance anyway. In hand it looks like a quality piece imo. It is a little unnecessarily angular and pointy. A little overdone imo but it is WELL done even if done too much. Its growing on me. The first ZT to do so since the 0452 what with all the zoopy swoopy Persian style space cadet crap theyve done recently. This one is definitely a maybe. Might have to add that one to my stable. Hey ZT, how about an A1 version with less points and a simpler more generic handle? Keep the blade but do away with the unnecessary angles and crap. Id definitely buy that.
