    1. In reply to my own comment, IMHO our community on SurvivalBlog would benefit more on a review of knives across the monetary spectrum, $50, $100, $150, etc. I personally don’t spend $300 on a pocket knife. I have spent $560 for a hunting/survival knife with accessories. Just my opinion.

  2. Buy once, cry once! I like reviews at both ends of the price spectrum. I want to see if spending the extra $ will get me corresponding value. Also, if we prefer not to buy from overseas, we need to expect to pay more. American workers have a much higher salary than Chinese workers!

  3. I agree with Gregory. That’s just outside of realistic for a pocket knife. There are several made in the USA knives out there that are fantastic. I carry a kershaw blur and it is the best pocket knife I’ve ever carried and I use it daily, 5-10 times a day. I got the green blur. Just beautiful and I have a ton of pocket knives. I like it so much I’m going to buy a couple more and put them in storage because I’m afraid they’ll go out of production someday and you can pick them up for around $60-75. Ken Onion design. That’s my 2 cents worth

  4. I will agree with the Buy once cry once. I have this knife in a different handle variation (Bronze Carbon fiber) and it has lived in my rotation for the last two years. The design is way beyond what most people think about it. you can cut things on a flat surface with out hitting your knuckles. It is a very quick to open. It is also very light. The version I have is the S35V blade steel. I have reduced my collection by a few knives because of this little folder. One of the many nice things about it is that it weighs very little and if you have to wear a shirt and tie, it will not weigh your pockets down like many other choices.

    I know a lot of people complain about spending more than $100 for a knife. I explain it like this. This is a knife that is part of your legacy. It will be around for your entire life (if you do not lose it). If you use it or not it will still be there. You are not going to wear out the titanium handles even less likely so on the steel unless you put it to a grinding wheel. The steel in the blade is one of the super steels that do not need to be sharpened every week, they can go months if you use it and run it across a strop every month or so. One thing as an IT worker I test all knives is after sharpening it is to cut a piece of Cat5E cable with it. Then use/abuse it to see how they stand up. None of my ZT knives have ever disappointed me. most of the Benchmades I have purchased in the past have passed this test as well, (I am on hold for BM for now as I disagree with some of the things they have done recently and I am not selling off knives that were given to me as gifts.)

    Like I said above if you buy this knife knowing full well your kids or grand kids will be able to use it after a life time of you using it, they will more than likely be able to use it their entire life as well. It is a legacy, keep it sharp, show them that it is a tool, let them see you use it. Make sure they know what a pocket knife is used for. Pass it on to your next generation. Create your legacy. How much is a knife worth that will last 2+ generations? $250 seems like a h**l of a good deal. Divide it by 10 years $25 a year. Divide it by 30 years, less than 10 bucks a year. Quit thinking short term, think long term. You don’t buy Harbor Freight tools to last a life time, why do you expect them to last longer than Snap-on?

    Enough of my rambling on about buying quality made in the USA tools.

  5. The last three knives in a row that I’ve owned were Kershaw knives made in the USA. As long as they keep making us American knives I will be a steady customer.

  6. Thanks much Pat. I appreciate your consideration for those of us who desire good old American quality over Chinese imports. Please keep up the good work and don’t forget that many of your readers will find value in paying a bit more, but in the end owning a product that lasts a lifetime. Bottom line, you get what you pay for! You do a fine job presenting the facts for all of us.
