I don't think anyone has seen reviews on this knife, and seeing how my webcam is not working at the moment, I'll just have to write everything out. To be honest, I'm not a huge fan of the normal Zing. The 3D machined striations just made it look goofy IMO. However, when I saw this at yourcornerstore.com for $35 (still is), I pulled the trigger and ordered one. 

Right out of the box, the blade was off centered. Very off centered; it wasn't touching the sides, but it bothered me. The clip was also way too tight and this made me almost want to return it. After a couple days playing with it and looking for youtube reviews, I stumbled upon a review (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5X-4TtFoks) that showed people how to tune-up a Buck Vantage Pro, which was known for blade centering issues. I watched it and proceeded to do the same with my Zing. The results were satisfying. Blade now sits dead center. 

The next step went on to modifying the clip. I managed to bend it with pliers just so there is about 1 mm space between the clip and the handle. It is now much easier to put in and out of my pocket with ripping the cloth. 

The blade thickness is pretty thick for a knife this size, and I think it would do great in piercing tasks, as well as unpacking boxes, etc. This is the only knife in my collection that has a combo edge, and I can attest that the Kershaw serrations do cut very well and very consistent. Theres also something about the tanto shape, combined with the serrations that gives this Zing a "zing" or "kickass" factor. It reminds me of a shark, no?

Lock up is solid. Absolutely solid. I see people test the side-to-side play by holding the part closest to the thumb studs, but I test my blades by holding it at the tip. By doing so, you are putting a bigger moment force on the blade, which simulates a more realistic scenario. No movement what-so-ever. 

I have had no problems with 14C28N, and the clip is situated very high on the handle, allowing the knife to ride very deep in the pocket. Handle material is a polymide, which is just another type of thermoplastic. It has good grip, but not as grippy as the G10 on the Kershaw Skyline, yet definitely grippier than the Spyderco Tenacious. Opening with the flipper is very smooth, not as fast as other Kershaws, but with a little flick of the wrist, it'll fly out with determination. 

Overall, for $35 ($40 shipped), and some minor tweaks, I think this is a very good deal. Good job again Kershaw. Grab one! You will dig it!
