Good idea lining up the knives for comparison. I thought it was bigger at first. I love the blade , not so much the handle. Looks like it would slice through brisket cleanly. Thanks. Tony
My thoughts on this knife is that it is a tactical blade made for people with small hands. ZT is known for making overbuilt big knives, I think this is them listening to feed back about needing smaller knives in their line up. Only 2 ZT knives come to mind that are ment for people with small hands and that is the 0460, and the 0450.
The way you explained that was perfect I related to that so much I just purchased that knife on amazon it's at 180 though not 160 I have about 78 folders some I use some I just like to look at and appreciate the differences of them all but thanks for the video
Bought it when it first came out- really liked the sweeping persian blade (Emersons are rare and Expensive). Came to similar conclusion to Chris, mine doesn't get much pocket time.
Guess I'm an oddball. I am right handed but have always carried in my left pocket. I also usually have a multi tool on the right and prefer to use it's knife for beater work.
Chris, for the price of this knife, is there a specific purpose, skill or something about the knife, such as skinning or career related cutting tool, or is it just one of those "damn this is a great knife" and a personal preference
Hey Chris, you know what would be a really great addition to your channel? A PREPAREDMIND101 "Bad Lip Reading" video of all your reviews mashed into one!
would Like to see what CRKT has in store for 2018 and Kershaw. other then that what every u want ill watch, should see what new offerings Streamlight has too
Hey brother. I know you have a lot of items to review, but I was wondering if you could do one on the Ruike Jager (fixed blade) the folders you reviewed quickly became my favorite budget blades. Thank you!
Reminds me of my 0452 cf, I guess, that would be your taste, too. Quite a bit bigger, though... There may be more functional and slicier knives out there, but man, it's sleek and sexy af. Nice intro! :D
The only reason I buy 95% of the knives I buy are just because I like the way they look. I use them all, but I don't buy them for any specific tasks. If it looks cool, I want it, and I'll find a way to use it.
hey chris, am i in the twilight zone or did you just willingly buy this knife "for yourself" AND give a positive review on an S30 series super-steel knife?? you let me down buddy! :) thanks for the great (as usual) review! looks like a great knife.
I'd like you to cold steel at shot show but I don't think Lyn and gang go there (it could be blade show they don't attend tho). I know there's a lot of CS haters but it's the only company that gives me super steels like xhp and 3v at prices I can afford.
To hell with that damn intro........HELL WITH IT I SAY.....my daughter has out played that song and made my ears bleed with it. You just brought back nightmares......thanks Chris......let me watch this knife video to calm myself down after that.....
Chris, we know your out of random sheaths and you've already cut up your Navy boot camp book so that leaves an opening four your high school yearbook. Come on we know you're not sentimental😉 I still have memories of the #shed 😀
I cannot open the knife unless my hand is in the perfect position and there is no pressure on the frame lock. It requires a completely unnatural hand position. A collector's item perhaps. Not a user.
ZT put this out with all premium everything at a outstandingly reasonable price and you limited the consumer by making it a designer knife. Only thing I can think of is the handle gotta be all wrong for use. So I’ll pass on this. Thx for pushing threw sick and all and getting these reviews to us.
I love functionality! But aesthetics is equally important to me. If the knife is functional, but I can't stand to look at it. I'm not buying. The reverse goes for a knife that looks amazing. If it isn't functional. Again, I'm not buying.
Hey Chris, don't know if you watch Joe Robinet at all, but he just posted a video with the closest thing I have ever seen to a Jes X. Thought you may be interested: ruclips.net/video/mdocwtorx7g/видео.html
The random intro music this time was part of a "guess the song and win a flashlight" contest on Facebook...Nobody got it this time.
PREPAREDMIND101 THAT INTRO WAS EPIC
Cake by the ocean ;)
Just scrolled down and seen that someone got there before me :(
PREPAREDMIND101 yes everyone in my home got sick but me I stayed way away from them and washed my hands and wear gloves when going out
PREPAREDMIND101 but if you put the music in the video can you still monetize the video
I, for one, am in favor of the randomly changing intro music becoming a permanent thing. That's just me though.
Good idea lining up the knives for comparison. I thought it was bigger at first. I love the blade , not so much the handle. Looks like it would slice through brisket cleanly. Thanks. Tony
Great video man! I always love your content and appreciate your honesty and sense of humor! Keep up the good work! Thank you.

I have that knives it's almost a month old . It holds a good edge and I love how lite it is.
Thanks for the complete honesty of your reviews Chris.
Well said, Chris. I'll add to what it's good for...skinning comes to mind besides just looking cool.
Good review , I like mine lots, you don’t know you have it till you need it , great slicer !
Happy New Years! Great looking blade. As for shot show I always like seeing what Maxpedition and Vanquest are put out.
That’s a pretty blade. I like the style. It looks stabby enough to gouge that intro song out of my ears.
+Blue Mountain Bushcraft and Outdoors Lol
+Blue Mountain Bushcraft and Outdoors Did you see the Kershaw Link video?
PREPAREDMIND101 I missed that one.
Blue Mountain Bushcraft and Outdoors bahahaha exactly and thank you. My ears started to bleed because of it....
Knife collection video, is that possible?
For such a stylish knife they, unfortunately, got the wrong line on the grind just before the handle. Look at 4:52.
(Or did they?)
Bought it when it first came out- really liked the sweeping persian blade (Emersons are rare and Expensive).
Came to similar conclusion to Chris, mine doesn't get much pocket time.
Very good review , I like it especially the handle no "hot spot" for a reverse grip, hope you get well soon.
Guess I'm an oddball. I am right handed but have always carried in my left pocket. I also usually have a multi tool on the right and prefer to use it's knife for beater work.
I got this knife the day it was released and I love it!
Hey Chris, check out the Spyderco Paramilitary 2. Standard is S30V but you can get it in S35VN, S110V, M4, M390 and probably a few others as well.
Chris, for the price of this knife, is there a specific purpose, skill or something about the knife, such as skinning or career related cutting tool, or is it just one of those "damn this is a great knife" and a personal preference
Hey Chris, you know what would be a really great addition to your channel? A PREPAREDMIND101 "Bad Lip Reading" video of all your reviews mashed into one!
Well said !!! I am not rich but I have a few knives I have just because I like to own them , just to look at them
Check out the SOG Pillar @Bladeshow.........Probably the best knife they've produced!
Can you spine whack it ? Also is zt heat treat on s 35 vn still trash?
The song is “cake by the ocean”
would Like to see what CRKT has in store for 2018 and Kershaw. other then that what every u want ill watch, should see what new offerings Streamlight has too
Hey brother. I know you have a lot of items to review, but I was wondering if you could do one on the Ruike Jager (fixed blade) the folders you reviewed quickly became my favorite budget blades. Thank you!
I love the look of that knife
Curious to know who the other channel is. Glad to hear you're going to shot show.
Sinkevich starting to pile up home run designs. Have fun at shot show.
Looks like a folding clever girl ! It is a cool looking knife !
Reminds me of my 0452 cf, I guess, that would be your taste, too. Quite a bit bigger, though... There may be more functional and slicier knives out there, but man, it's sleek and sexy af. Nice intro! :D
i love your "when you''re sick" music in the intro.... HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHA
young kang it's a change👍
Dude could hang a photo of the shed on that back ground panel thanks cool knife
That is a very cool looking knife
I get a good laugh out of the intro music change-ups
Thanks Chris!
That is one good looking blade!
thats an interesting blade . Dig the sheepsfoot? blade profile
Some dude upswept actually
yup, fair assessment i think.
You should visit Kailash-blades at shot-show!
Cake by the ocean- dnce
Try taping a hand warmer pack to the camera.

Sometimes fancy is nice, I just wish I didn't have champagne taste and a root beer budget
Andrew Burd I know it brother
Check out Cold Steel! Wondering what 2018 will bring? (Good song lol.)
Crap... Just realized it's a gun show. Check out Canik if they're there 😀
Keith Carson yes I would like to see that
hey chris, am i in the twilight zone or did you just willingly buy this knife "for yourself" AND give a positive review on an S30 series super-steel knife?? you let me down buddy! :)
thanks for the great (as usual) review! looks like a great knife.
+justo222 I get bored sometimes.
I'd like you to cold steel at shot show but I don't think Lyn and gang go there (it could be blade show they don't attend tho). I know there's a lot of CS haters but it's the only company that gives me super steels like xhp and 3v at prices I can afford.
Visit the condor booth !
Nice
That's a bad ass blade👍
fair assessment
Have talked with several friends in Ohio who have been sick with colds or flu. Seems to be goi g around in Ohio.
I still love you intro!!
To hell with that damn intro........HELL WITH IT I SAY.....my daughter has out played that song and made my ears bleed with it. You just brought back nightmares......thanks Chris......let me watch this knife video to calm myself down after that.....
the knife is selling for 180.00 from your supplier
William Sills wow that's a lot of money I can't even fandom buying a knife for that much but I guess people do.
Time for you to check out Spyderco at the SHOT show
dos not cut good for a 160 knife
Chris, we know your out of random sheaths and you've already cut up your Navy boot camp book so that leaves an opening four your high school yearbook. Come on we know you're not sentimental😉
I still have memories of the #shed 😀
Miller Brothers blades
Can't find it for 160
+John Poc I might've misspoke. $180
You need a Chinese dragon and some bamboo in the background!
Clearly a product of an Elven forge.
man if that was a fixed blade it would be the kind of knife for me!
Take a look at the CRKT Clever Girl ;)
I think the background is growing on me, it reminds me of tosh.0
I cannot open the knife unless my hand is in the perfect position and there is no pressure on the frame lock. It requires a completely unnatural hand position. A collector's item perhaps. Not a user.
A lot of office guys would get this I think.
ZT put this out with all premium everything at a outstandingly reasonable price and you limited the consumer by making it a designer knife. Only thing I can think of is the handle gotta be all wrong for use. So I’ll pass on this. Thx for pushing threw sick and all and getting these reviews to us.
Not for me but enjoyed the video. Get well.
Cake by the ocean DNCE
Nice pocket knife!!👊
I stopped this video immediately after the intro, and read the comments first. Needed to see wth was with the random music.
I love functionality! But aesthetics is equally important to me.
If the knife is functional, but I can't stand to look at it. I'm not buying.
The reverse goes for a knife that looks amazing. If it isn't functional. Again, I'm not buying.
