I wasn't aware that was designed by Ken Onion (that's cool). Although I have several knives, I've carried the ZT 0770CF for close to 8 years now. Certainly many of my knives have exceptional blades, but I haven't found any that can match the blade quality, weight and ease of opening (many have mistaken it as a switchblade). I love my ZT.ZT 0350
I go back and forth between the 0350 and the 0566BW. The 0566BW is a Hinderer design and bit smaller, but fills the basic EDC role I ask of it. It's skinned a few deer in its day as well.I wasn't aware that was designed by Ken Onion (that's cool). Although I have several knives, I've carried the ZT 0770CF for close to 8 years now.

I just love the carbon fiber handle on mine. Although I had to bend back into place the clip once, because I was afraid I wouldn't notice it falling out of my pocket, all my other knives now feel like they weigh too much.I go back and forth between the 0350 and the 0566BW.

That's why I've been hesitant to pick up a carbon fiber handled ZT. The weight, I like to feel that there is a knife in my pocket and like you, would be concerned about not noticing a few hundred dollar blade fall out of my pocket.I just love the carbon fiber handle on mine.

That's why it's nice that you can remove the clip to bend it back into shape. I think it holds better now than when I bought it.That's why I've been hesitant to pick up a carbon fiber handled ZT.
