[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1478573, member: 229"] The only problem I have with the ZT 200 is that it weights .4oz less than the zt 302. I like the thinner blade design, but its really friggin heavy (8oz) and even with the thinner blade, its still a very fat blade with a very round belly and the handle/blade make for a pretty thick carry piece. I'd actually considered the zt 350, but they go back to the super-fat blade design with that one. I'd honestly consider the zt 400 if it came in anything other than a tanto-point. I've sort of eliminated the Spyderco Para-Military, but not completely. I'm not looking for a knife as large as the Military, but the Para-Military is a good knife by everyone's standards and is about the size I'm looking for - so technically, I should put it on the list I guess. Really not a fan of spearpoints - I saw the Native 4 Carbon Fiber and liked it, but its a little smaller than what I'm looking for overall. OK man, not you got me curious - what model Benchmade did you get? I'm curious as to what you didn't like about the Tyrade. I'm not completely opposed to all Benchmade models, but 90% of the knives I've felt didn't fit my hand well, were ugly (in my opinion), and didn't offer a good feel over-all - too long and stick-like, not really good for doing delicate work or utilitarian work. I respect the hell out of their US-made knives and love what they've done with various materials on their nicer models, but I've just never found one that fit me well. You're killing me man - that was by all accounts, the perfect knife, but from what I understand, none of the LE orders that are left un-filled have gotten their knives, so its still going to be a while. If I wanted a prod model, I'd have to get in line and wait again, and I'm not looking to do that right now (or support Robert Pelton to be honest). I might pick up one used in the future, but for now, its outta sight for me. In all honestly, auto or assisted is not that important to me - its nice, but not a deal breaker. [/QUOTE]
