What are the goods and Bads? How does it carry? Can it slice well? Is it worth the money? Size comparisons and pics please. Thanks guys:)
 
Any time someone asks to be convinced to get a ZT, they dont realize they have already convinced themselves. Go get one.
 
I say get a 0560. They can be had for better prices.. it carries great. Its an OK slicer, but it is more of a HD cutter, chopper.
 
You can find them for around $200 on the forums and its worth the money. If you want a great slicer you don't want a 0560/0561 a military or para 2 is better for that. If you want a tank that has great fit and finish and smooth action, you won't be dissapointed with a zt. IMO the elmax steel is ok on these, not amazing.
 
Well, it's one of my favorites. Based on looks alone, how can you resist it? I talk about it in this video of my favorite knives.

Ya I have a Para 2 and carried it for 6 months as of now. I just want a flipper and love the looks of this. This is very comfortable in hand also
 
Super comfortable in hand, super smooth action, rock solid lock up yet easy to unlock. I just picked up a 561 to go along with my 560. It's an expensive knife but for some reason I feel the need to own 2. Probably because 75% of the time thats what you'll find in my pocket.
 
I like mine so well, I want to get a 561 to keep it company. A knife this good you need a spare. I thought about getting a spare 200 and 301, but I doubt that I will ever wear them out.
 
I dont understand why a ZT560/561 cant be a slicer. Mine came very sharp and easily one of the sharpest I have handled. Maybe some went out with more steel on their edges but nothing some elbow grease and a couple of stones cant improved.

Anyway I am very impressed by my 561 push cutting, shaving and slicing. The knife deploys very smoothly and the tip is very strong too. Overall it makes a great alternative when I cant carry a fixed blade.
 
I've been on the fence with these since they came out.Heard/read they're too large to EDC(comfortably) & see quite a few FS in the exchange lately.

Can someone post a pic of their ZT560/561 next to a large Sebenza or a XM-18 3.5"?I EDC both of them comfortably.Would like to see a comparison.


Thanks
