Looking to get one of these. I really like the design, but can't decide on which one. Who can steer me in the right direction? Does anyone have both? Which do you carry more often? Thanks for the help.
 
I have the 580 and will have the 585 by thursday along with a ZT 0350. The main difference is size. 585 has a blade under 3" and the 580 has a blade around 3.75" I have the 580 in serrated the 585 has been ordered in a plain edge. The 580 is bulky but does fit in your front pocket. The 580 is pretty thick too...but so will the 585. It is merely about size. In my state 3" and under is fine to carry so I wont worry about having the 585 on me.
