Even if they were the same price, I'd select the Foresight over my ZT 0300. It is extremely comfortable and stunningly rugged: flip the flipper on this thing and out comes a that slab of heavy steel; flip it with just the slightest wrist twitch and it slams out and you'd better be hanging on tight. It makes you think of those silly Duluth Trading cartoon commercials -- only this isn't a cartoon.

The knife is beautifully made, and my example -- bought at discount from the Amazon returns outlet -- is perfectly centered and oh, so smooth in operation.

It is a big knife -- physically almost as big as the ZT 0300/0301 and virtually identical in size to the excellent, comparable, but twice as expensive ZT 0200, the serious knife by which all others must be measured. The Foresight is a couple ounces lighter. The blade is obviously a Ken Onion design, but he didn't get carried away. There's more of a point than there is on the ZTs, which makes it more useful, I think. The materials are not especially exotic -- aluminum and AUS8 instead of G10 and 154CM, titanium and S30V -- but entirely satisfactory, and the ball bearing pivot is plenty exotic all by itself. (There has been concern about grit getting into the pivot, which would be more of a problem than it is in other knives because while disassembly of the Foresight is easy, reassembly is nontrivial.)

In part because of the pivot system, the aluminum frame has steel inserts on both sides -- aluminum would wear too quickly under the ball bearings -- and on the lock side the steel extends to be a kind of liner lock. The stop pin is captive, which is to say it is in a slot cut in the blade, rather than being external of the blade; this is certainly a weaker system than an external pin would be, but as with the worry about pivot contamination this has thusfar apparently been theoretical. It is certainly only theoretical here. The knife works smoothly and locks up so solidly that it feels like a good fixed blade. It is less easy to close than a framelock, and the detent ball is robust enough that it will catch the edge of the flipper and make it feel almost stuck -- take a little care in closing this knife until you've figured it out. Mastering one-handed closing takes longer than it does on most other flipper knives.

The Foresight is not an assisted knife. I love assisted knives, but I'm also a student of the fabled Murphy and therefore know that it is at that moment when your very life depends on a knife opening -- that's when the assist mechanism will fail. This knife doesn't need any more assistance than the flick of the wrist, and usually not even that. The sheer mass of that hunk of steel puts inertia to work happily.

Two things require some getting used to. One is the jumping on the flipper, which is SHARP. I'm not sure the sometimes painful jimping is necessary; I'd prefer 1/16-inch more flipper instead. And the lock release, on the example I got, is just the tiniest bit sticky, which is not a big issue most of the time, but can be a problem when one's hands are wet or cold.

It really is an extraordinarily good knife for those who aren't looking for a genttlemen's vest-pocket blade. If they made exactly the same shape and blade thickness, and the same aluminum handle, in a fixed blade, I'd get one. And isn't that the real measure of a large folder?

This knife is a beast! Holds an edge nicely, and is tough for anything that you may want to do with it. CRKT knocked it out of the ballpark with this one. Fits nicely in the pocket with the clip that allows it deep.

Seems to be a good design and feels good in hand. But was disappointed when I saw product of Taiwan on the box.

This is a fairly large knife that has a nice feel in the hand. I am a big fan of Ken Onion designed knives, no matter the brand and I have several by CRKT and Kershaw. This is a substantial knife, it has good weight and feel but, is a little handle heavy. The design of the handles gives a nice grip, at least for my hands. This knife came out of the box very sharp and opened smoothly. It also closes very smoothly, if you can get the blade liner lock released and that is where its major issue is.
The lock itself is not hard to release, its just hard to access. The opposing handle is not cut out enough to give access to the blade liner lock. This makes an otherwise excellent knife, just a nice knife.
Now I really like the design of this knife and I don't want to send it back because of this flaw in the design so, I'll probably get out the power tools and reshape the opposing handle to give me better access. I shouldn't have to do this to a knife in this price range as, this is not an inexpensive knife and once I make this modification, the warranty will probably be void and it's resale value will be cut to nothing but, again, I like the design of this knife so, I'll make it work for me.
If blade lock access has been a problem or issue for you in your past purchases and this is an issue on quite a few Kershaw and CRKT knives, you may want to avoid this knife. It's still usable as is, but is tearing my thumb nail up since that's the only way i can push the liner lock. I hate to have to mod a knife to make it work but, since I don't ever plan on selling or trading the knife, it'll work for me.
It is a serious flaw so, keep that in mind if you plan on making this purchase. At this price, you may not be happy with it.

Because of this major flaw, I believe the knife to be considerably overpriced and would have a problem recommending the knife to anyone who wasn't or wouldn't be capable of modifying the knife.

This came super fast. It is exceedingly nice. This measures up to some of the zt I have had in the past at less than half the price.

Pros:
1. Gorgeous substantial blade with effective geometry
2. Great handle contouring for larger hands like mine
3. Ikbs smooth
4. Liner lock is very sturdy
5. Knife locks in properly centered position
6. Appearance - maybe a negative to you if you don't like your knife intimidating to the average person. But if you do, and I do, this thing is beautiful and curvy like an old school vette stingray
7. Deep carry pocket clip
8. Price - this is an underpriced item at $70-80 this has the build quality of a much more expensive knife
9. Lanyard hole provided for wrist strap, ideal if you believe you would use this knife for self defense and want to make sure it stays in your hands

Cons:
1. Single position tip up pocket clip- not a huge deal but if you have been spoiled
By 4 position clips this is kind of a let down. It's a darn good clip, and deep, just always going to be in the same place
2. Easy to see how black finish on aluminum will end up scuffed.

Some neither pros nor cons but general considerations:

1. This knife has girth that makes it comfortable to hold, it's probably not your edc if you wear skinny jeans or have shallow pockets.
2. The appearance is aggressive
3. It will only be single hand close in one motion for those of us that have larger hands, experience and dexterity. That's true of most folders but if you pull this out getting it hidden again in a hurry may prove harder for most than a button release. (Neither peo nor con because a button release can be accidentally pushed, or pushed by an assailant in a self-defense scenario, and if you have to hide fast you're probably carrying it somewhere you shouldn't legally be carrying a blade anyways, not passing judgment just stating facts.

Long and short - get it if you like bigger folders and definitely if you're a knife fan. Ken Onion designed a beauty and ckrt made it upper level quality at a much better than fair price.
