The Zero Tolerance 0350 is a high-quality knife with excellent build and S30V steel, but its 5.8 oz weight makes it too heavy for comfortable EDC. The Ken Onion organic blade shape is difficult to sharpen, and the handle is short for larger hands. While durable, it falls into a niche, being too heavy for EDC and too compact for a dedicated tactical role.

This video provides an in-depth review of the CRKT Shenanigan folding knife, focusing on its "Hawaiian Tactical" aluminum variant. The reviewer highlights its striking appearance, comparing it to more expensive titanium tactical folders. Key features discussed include the 3.25" AUS8 clip blade with a black titanium nitride coating, aggressive swedge, milled jimping on 6061 T6 aluminum handles for improved traction, and comfortable rubber inserts for excellent ergonomics. The review also touches on practical aspects like pocket extraction due to the rubber inserts, the Ken Onion designed flared clip limiting carry options (tip-down only, not ideal for lefties), and the efficient strip lock mechanism. The knife is praised for its outstanding value at around $50, and its availability in Zytel frame and combo edge versions is mentioned. The reviewer places it in his "BEST Tactical Knife" playlist, giving it an 8 out of 10 on his likability scale.
