So I've gotten several ZT's (200, 550, 561) for myself as well as a number of Kershaws.
My wife has handled all the various knives and never quite liked any of them except my JYD2.
I got her a couple blem Leeks (VIB, CB) and she liked those for thin slicers. I got a CB for myself to go with my 561 EDC. Got a blur for my sister, which my wife liked as well.
I wanted to get her a better, larger knife as well, as she'd been carrying an ancient CS Recon 1 with an Axis lock that I have had for years.
We spent a bunch of time looking all over Spyderco, Kershaw, ZT, and Benchmade. Almost went with a Osborne 943. Sure glad we didn't because, for the price, we got a 350TS blem from Dave and it is a serious winner. She has fairly small hands and yet it fits and handles great. It was the first time she was excited to have the knife (the Leeks are cool, but they've mostly been in the stash). The tiger striping was even better. It handles like a large blur, to me, with a deeper recurve. A real success, especially at the blem price. I think the infection has finally set in
For my next trick, get one for me (TS is pretty sweet looking), or a stonewashed, or even better, an orange one....
