[Moosez45]

Which one do you think is the one that we should choose?

Oops, Lawman.

I love my JYD-II, but I think the ZT is the burlier knife, so that's how I voted.
If I could vote twice, I'd add the JYD.

 

[gytheran]

Picked the ZT 0560. It's easily my favorite.

 

[bullet08]

you missed ZT0550/0551. thick, solid.. built like a tank. not that there's anything wrong with 560/561.. i just like 550 better.

If we have enough write ins to beat out the poll, then, that will be our blade. I was gonna put the 550 in there, but honestly, I think the 561 is built a little tougher.

Theres no 0350..WTH

I'll write in the Benchmade 275 Adamas. My first D2 blade and won't be my last. Closest thing I've seen to a Becker blade and handle in a folder.

Edit - I haven't looked around much to price the 560/1, but I think the 275 runs about half the cost and iirc, someone around here said Beckerheads are cheap.

 

[bigghoss]

Well the cold steel rajah II is probably the ultimate. The stuff I've seen on the rajah III looks impressive and I think I'll pick one up soon.

+1 On the Benchmade Adamas. Had a desert tan one until I fell for the "can I use your knife for a minute.." friend request..who lost it. Also think the DPx HEST 2.0 would be very good. I plan on getting one as a self bday present in October.

ZT 301, ain't got a 561 yet, screw y'all.

If its "Hard Use" then the most important feature is the lock-up mechanism ..... how can anyone compare the ZT frame-lock to Cold Steel Tri-Ad? Theres no competition ... Cold Steel wins every time.
Though honestly if its "hard use" then go with a fixed blade.

 

[gytheran]

I'm curious why the locking mechanism is the sole determining feature of what makes a knife "hard use". Considering the lock's only purpose is to keep the blade from closing on your fingers, there should be no situations in which a quality lock would fail. If you have pressure being applied to the locking mechanism, you're typically doing something the knife was not designed to do.

 

[RogueBowie]

I don't have any of those (though I want a 561 really bad) so my write in is for the Ontario Rat-1, it's not only the hardest use folder I own but maybe one of the cheapest (sums up the BH mindset I think).

 

[crimsonfalcon07]

I've got a 560 on order, should arrive this week. That being said, it will have to work awfully hard to kick my Gunnies out of my pocket. I will abstain from this poll until I get a chance to see how the 560 holds up.

 

[rkmoore]

560 FTW!!! Elmax + titanium frame lock + made in America = Winner

 

[rivertamer]

0560..... have a bunch of zt's.... this one is on my wish list..

 

[cbwoods67]

I only own the ZT 0560. Skinned a squirrel with it last night. Including beheading,cutting of the tail and paws, and all it has to show for it is a nearly imperceptible flat spot in the edge.
Still cuts phone book paper, on the factory edge.

 

[machine26]

I think the Buck CSART folding knife should be listed. It's fairly inexpensive and built like a tank.

The izula folder, sorry had to say it.
