Review: EDC Contender - My second ZT knife and by far my favorite (also have 0450). I had expected this in 20CV but received the newest version with S45VN. Hard to complain about this steel though as it does a lot of things great with little compromise. Edge retention is excellent and it came with a razor edge from the factory. The geometry is slice-y and I love the aggressive grind of the blade as a whole. The work finish is fine although I prefer a natural or satin look. The G10 scales are great with beautiful contouring and finishing. The fasteners are quality and bright. Beside Micarta, these scales are the way to go for lightweight, confident grip. The assist is snappy and direct and releases nicely from the liner lock. Overall, the design is attractive and you’re reminded this is a Kershaw knife albeit with higher quality materials and excellent finish. It’s not a heavy knife for what it is. Comparing it to a benchmark PM-2, this is thinner, lighter, shorter and handier with slightly more blade edge to boast. My PM is also S45VN and I’ve not noticed a difference is quality between the blades. It sits nice in the pocket unlike other knives of similar size. I love carrying this knife and have to stop myself from taking it to work everyday as my job can be rough on tools. Out of the 8-12 folders I own I’d realistically EDC, this is one of the most common I grab.
Review: Same knife but S45VN Steel - Well, the advertising needs to be updated. The new 0357 I recieved has S45VN. A great Steel, but not the same material as the S20CV originally used and advertised here. Otherwise a great knife with excellent geometry, fit and finish. The knife comes very sharp out of the box, and with this steel should maintain that edge for a good long while. The weight is slightly heavy, but no problem for me. It fits very well in the pocket and the clip is reversible for left handers. I like the Assisted opening and liner lock. It's an excellent fidget knife which should provide years of performance.

## Features

- The 0357 is premium made simple – a working knife built for tough conditions.
- Blade locks into place with a rock-solid liner lock. A reversible deepcarry pocket clip allows for ambidextrous carry in the tip-up position.
- After being precision built in ZT’s Tualatin, Oregon USA factory, the final product comes in at a value price, perfect for all ZT users.
- The 0357 is an assisted knife, featuring ZT’s SpeedSafe system. Simply pull back on the flipper to easily open the knife every time.
- Whether you’re just starting your ZT journey, or are looking to add to your collection, count on the 0357 to get the job done.
