The best ZTs in that size range (imo) are discontinued - the 0200sw and 0560.
I don't care for the 0920 or 0909 (the 0920 is the more appealing of the two - looks like it would be comfortable in hand, but I hate what they did with the spine)
The 0462 is appealing, in a freakish sort of way; and I would choose it over the 0452...but I doubt I would carry/use it.
 
0804cf. Not quite 4" but close and imho I like it better than the rest on the list.

None of the zt's are good slicers tbo. Too thick behind the edge. I have this model and don't think it's a slicer in any regards. Sorry man just sayin the facts. Good stabbed though.

A 0452Ti if you can find one. The 0200 was a good one. Can't comment on any of the others as I've never owned them.
 
My favorite is the 0462, (which actually is a good slicer) but the 0452 has a more all-around useful blade shape.
 
The best two knives ZT ever made are the 0301 & 0560, both around 4" at 3.75" blade length.

Being a "good slicer" can be a relative, ill defined term, so no, it is not fact. I feel my 0452cf does just fine for edc slicing. Would I use it in the kitchen? No. I have kitchen knives for that, but nor would I use those kitchen knives for edc.

For the op, I'd go 0452cf. Out of all my zts it gets the most carry. It is the best little big knife I have ever had. Light. Thin. Big blade. Flipping action is superb.

I've got to disagree. First, these weren't on the poll. The 301 is assisted and as you know, the torsion bars can break. Also strider, yuck! While I do like my 0560, it does not have the refinement of the knives listed, save for the 909 which is an old school zt tank, very good knife though. And let's not forget, the 0560 is discontinued.
 
I voted 452, which in my opinion is the best combination of tactical and classy, not to mention smooth. The 0909 is a great knife too, but a little heavy for an edc and I like how the 452 hides in your pocket better. I never owned a 920 but I would like to someday. The 462 is pretty much a curvy version of the 452, a little crazy looking and would probably freak out most people when u flip it open lol

Yes the 0462 looks very slicey with it's trailing point. I got one with red CF for a gentleman's self defence knife. Hope I never have to use it for that purpose. It's also a fun fidget toy! smoooth

ZT WEBSITE ON 0095TANBLK

The 0095TANBLK is built with premium materials—from its CPM S90V blade steel to its solid titanium handles. S90V ensures the 0095TANBLK offers a reliable edge that lasts outstandingly long. An extremely high volume of vanadium carbides in the steel makes for truly exceptional edge retention while still offering excellent corrosion resistance. Nothing holds an edge quite like Crucible's S90V. Then ZT adds tan PVD finish to this “harpoon-style” blade for a sleek, unified look.

The high-performance blade is paired with a titanium handle with wide, contoured chamfers to provide a secure, comfortable grip. A titanium frame lock with a hardened lockbar insert secures the blade open during use. ZT’s KVT ball-bearing opening system lets you open the 0095TANBLK with speed and efficiency. The pocketclip is reversible for left- and right-handed tip-up carry. Finally, a decorative, two-toned pivot adds a finishing touch to the 0095TANBLK, completing the look of this solid handful of precision.

This tan blade 0095 is a sprint run, built in limited quantity. Check your local ZT dealer for availability.
