I do love that tiger stripe blade on the 0303, but I only have the budget version 0350 with the same blade finish. I like your comparison of the 0308 to the AD10, they are a lot closer than I realized. I wasn't seriously considering the 0308 for purchase, until I watched this video. Thank you.
I still find the open area nest to the pivot very odd! I totally get what you are saying about price! Not that much difference but it kinda goes back to the psychological aspect that we talked about a couple of days ago! Thanks for sharing Peter!
I have the 0308 so far I love it I do construction and haven't had an issue but I do take good care of my knives but my wish is they would have made it thicker like it's grandfather I like knives with alot of heft. Thanks for sharing
I agree, large folders are the very reason I got into knives! I think more people should broaden their horizons, carrying a large folder is a breeze and I find that if I carry anything under five ounces, I'm constantly patting my pocket to make sure it's still there! Jmho
The 308 clip has the same 3 hole spacing as the Benchmade full size Griptillian. So, any clip that will fit the Grip will work. I get mine from MXG clips. 👍
your points are well taken and having an old zt 0200, i wish i had the 0300 and 0303. the recurve has fallen out of favor perhaps, but not for me entirely. i am not a hard user of any knives--i still have all my old carpentry pouch tools and they are certainly designed to be wailed on, cardboard? yep--i use a utility knife with replaceable blades and often resharpen these blades. thumbs up for the 0308--smoke 'em if you got 'em.
I am not living in the US and it is difficult to get certain models here. I used to have the 0350. It was my favorite. I still have the 0630CF which is nice but a little too nice. It looks so nice that I don't want to abuse it. It now looks like I can't get a 0350 as also most of them are discontinued. The shop might get a 0357 and the 0308. (sure a big price difference). I still have a couple of fixed blades and other folders (Leatherman k4x, and a kershaw). I have the feeling even though the 0300 / 0303 are maybe a little bit more beafy, for me the 0308 might work because if I need even more robust, I can switch to my fixed blades (ontario and condor). What do you think?
I didn’t love the hole either but then again I didn’t plan on buying it. I never bought the 0300 or 0303 either though. I may have to get at least one of these now to at least try the design. Thanks so much for the comparisons.
I love your video and channel but in all honesty I dont love the cut outs in the 0308 Thank You for Showing So Many Great Knives. Such a Epic knife collection.
I love all my ZT's , but it you truly want to use the knife in some really hard use situations I would go with Cold Steel all day , ounce ZT started using bearings , they basically made their knives into heavy duty edc knives , doomed never to leave the office . And that's a shame .
It totally looks like you use those 300 series like a "hard use knife". Was that a tiny scuff on the pocket clip? Better watch out for that weak 308 pivot!
Love this knife so much so I own 3 of them all different scales and one ti side is bronze with We the people with American flag thanks to USA MADE BLADE 🔪🔪🔪😎
The ZT308 is their best knife yet! The action with skiff bearings is incredible
The Deep carry click is a great mod. Good review, Thank You.

Awesome! Thank you for stopping by, and for all the excellent content on your channel. You, and your channel, are a big part of why I do this. Cheers!
Also, the 0350 is by far one of my all time favorite knives
Good review! I'm getting this model but in the tiger stripe one
I'd kill if ZT made fixed blades again. Let's hope they get back to their roots! Thanks for the video!

I love how you're the opposite of everyone saying that anything over 4 oz is too heavy It's ridiculous...cheers man

Where did you get that pocket clip from if ya don’t mind me asking? I have the 0308 on the way
The 308 clip has the same 3 hole spacing as the Benchmade full size Griptillian. So, any clip that will fit the Grip will work. I get mine from MXG clips. 👍
Where'd you get the clip for the AD10? I have one that sits in a drawer because the clip is horrible.
Pops custom clips on Etsy.. but.. this clip is it's own hotspot..

Do you think zt will ever move to a different lock (botton lock, axis, etc)?
Who made the clip. please?
That one is LynchNW but MXG gear makes great options as well
@@ATherapeuticEdge Thank you. Lajos
Well done vid!!! Agree 100% on the bearing issue... that turns me off more than the price.
Let me know when you get rid of the 0303. Thanks for the video!!
Sorry man, it's already moved on down the road.
A Therapeutic Edge no problem. I’ll take the 0200 instead. Thanks!!
🤣👍

that's the first thing I thought . If I were a piece of pocket lint, where would I go ? :-) ...

Where’d you get the pocket clip ?
That's clip from 'Pops custom clips" on Etsy. But the 308 is set up to take any of the 3 hole benchmade clips. Same hole pattern

It isn't weak.. just poorly thought out. As for the condition of my knives, when I need a knife to beat on I carry a fixed blade.
Wow nice looking design ZT Knives ever!!! :D
And Hit Like button!!! :D
I just wish that you could more really deep frustrated sighs.
😂 I'll try harder next time
Love this knife so much so I own 3 of them all different scales and one ti side is bronze with We the people with American flag thanks to USA MADE BLADE 🔪🔪🔪😎
Looks real tanky but so is my full Ti 0562 for $280.
You think the 0562 is tanky?? Do you have small hands or something?
I can’t agree more. I like it but not the color. The prices to just keep going up n up. It does look really nice though. Thanks For the video.
I agree with you on the pricing; the “idea” of sub-$300 would make a difference IMHO. That open slot is just a killer for me.
This hole spoils everything!
Cause you can’t fill em eh?
@@devonwoodman3350 No, that's not why. This weakens the design.
@@roninas no it doesn’t it’s aesthetic. Put min thru hell and it’s still solid
