0006 Fixed Blade Knife with Kydex Sheath, 5.9 inch CPM 3V Drop Point Blade with Black G10 Handle, Full Tang Fixed Blade Survival Hunting Knife, for Outdoor, Camping and Hunting

I remember seeing the original ZT0006 knife over a year ago and never could justify the purchase due to its price point. IMO it’s steep for what you’re getting, you can find a good 6” blade in 3v for under $300 easy (Bradford to name one brand). I also remember people saying they received a $300 clone instead of the legit product, which was another reason for me to back away from this knife. Now that the dust has settled, it’s clear as day that the clones are now being rolled out at a much lower price point. Is it 3v? I highly doubt it, my guess that it’s D2 or a similar steel, meaning it has good edge retention, but I wouldn’t gamble on its toughness; I love 3v because it’s tough like 5160 leaf spring and it has the edge retention that closely matches D2, don’t expect that with this knife; if you do, and if it ends up breaking just remember you’re out $60 instead of $300. While I’m not a fan of companies copying others, China’s ability to copy other products and execute them in the manner that they do is astounding. I went into this purchase knowing this knife is not a real ZT knife and do feel bad for the people that got duped at a $300 pricetag, but if it weren’t for this fake, I never would have gotten this knife otherwise for the reasons stated above. Want a high quality, USA made item at a $300 price tag? Then this isn’t it. Want a badass, well made looking knife for $60, then this product is top notch at its price point. My suggestion is to apply some thread lock on the screws and the butt cap to keep them secure.

This nice is a very excellent clone of Zero Tolerance 006. I am a huge knife collector and own nearly 700 fixed and folding knives. I am trying to cut myself off from buying any more knives because I own enough of them to be the equal in price to a new car. Despite this, I'm trying to fill out my fixed blade collection and came upon the ZT 006. Like most Zero Tolerances, the knive was too expensive for me to consider it (priced over $300) and then typed in 006 knife on Amazon a couple of days ago and came upon this clone of the ZT 006. This '006' fixed blade seems to be almost identical in form the ZT 006. The knife is very pleasing to hold, does not have any flaws on the blade or handle, has a razor sharp blade, and is much more comfortable to hold than the NedFoss Brave, which is also a close clone to the ZT 006. I don't like the sheath, which is identical to the ZT, because it doesn't seem to strongly retain the knife in the kydex sheath. Despite that, this knife is cool as hell and a worthy addition to my knife collection, which includes about 20 cloned fixed and folding knives out of 700. I highly recommend this knife, which cost less that 1/6 of the ZT 006

Compared to the real one, they did a great job with this knife for a fraction of the price. It is a great truck knife to always have a handy tool. Really impressed with this clone for what it's worth.

Update - 08/18. Deducting one star because the guard loosened up and rattles now (simply from removing it from the sheath a few times). I have not even used the knife to cut yet! It's pressure-fit onto the blade, apparently not very securely. It's not worth returning and can be addressed by wedging something between the scales and the guard now, but it is disappointing. If you want this exact knife because it's a ZT clone, get it. If you want an inexpensive fixed blade (under 60 dollars) that may be more reliable, get a ColdSteel or similar import brand. Clearly it's a copy of the overpriced ZT 006, but it appears to be a decent copy. The grinds are even, the blade symmetry looks good, the coating is consistent and cleanly applied (even under the scales), it does not appear to be a "cheap" copy anyhow. The sheath is just OK, but in all fairness, sheaths are usually the weak-link for most knives regardless of the brand (or cost). As far as overall fit, finish, and quality goes, IMO it's on par with the bigger brands (the butterfly and spider people), just at a fraction of the cost. The blade and sheath on mine are sterile. No markings, logos, etc. It came in a plain, thin, unmarked brown cardboard box with no paper inserts or any connection to a specific brand. Not sure if they changed their inventory recently and this was done to comply with copyright rules perhaps? Regardless, there is no way this version could be passed off to someone as being a "real" ZT 006. I'm guessing the blade steel is D2 or some low-end Cr13 equivalent. For what I'll be using this for, that's more than adequate. If my survival were to depend on the knife I'm carrying, I wouldn't be buying it for 55 dollars on Amazon to begin with. If the "real" ZT 006 were more realistically priced, say in the 175-200 dollar range, I'd gladly pick one up. Otherwise, hard pass. This same company makes a BM Redoubt 430 'copy' for around 25 dollars too. I may pick one of those up as well now. Definitely recommend getting one of these 006's before they are gone.

Nice knife for the money, solid, full tang build. No gaps in the metal work, hilt, to blade fit is flawless. Handle is solid, matched well to the tang. Extremely sharp, great blade shape. And the sheath is a solid addition to the knife. Very impressed with the overall build quality for $47.00. Buy with confidence, 5 stars!

I wanted to get the ZT006 but could not justify the $350. I ordered this knife knowing it could be low quality. Sharp out the box and has a small weight. Value is amazing. I had the steel PMI'd and the chemical makeup of the steel is IDENTICAL to 3v. If the heat treat is right (which I believe it is) this is a rust resistant true steel. D2 is not stainless it rusts but this knife has not had any rust whatsoever even when I've used it in wet locations.

the steel is too soft , and it has dropped about $ 20 in price
