Cool factor vs practicality

[Smaug]

I like the 0452 better, but a 4" blade is pretty big. Actually not idea for everyday tasks.

With 3XL hands, you should be looking for something with a big handle, but not more than about 3.25 to 3.5" blade.

Kershaw makes a lot of knives in this style, and you can get them at any price point. Might be worth a look.

If you plan on dealing with much food, I'd recommend the 0452.

I am going to buy a new folder soon and decided on the ZT brand but I can't quite make up my mind on either a 0452 or a 0562? I realize there are a number of differences between the two. My main use will be just edc task mostly there when I need a cutting tool. What say you?

Get a spyderco

I'm waiting on an Endura from Massdrop if it ever gets manufactured.

Careful there . . . sounds like something I would have got flamed for . . .
I will say I just bought a Buck 102 simply because it is a very cool knife that I have always wanted. (not as practical as most of my others . . . OK not as practical as any of my others . . . it is still cool though and I like it !).
There is a time to be practical and there is a time to just buy something you like for no other reason than you just like it.
Which time is this for you ?

How on earth can you say that? a nearly perfect fixed blade at 4" - I'd get the 5160 steel version myself
.. in fact this one (I'd even go as far as to say it's more practical; no nonsense with folding mechanisms)

Well, I do love slicing thin tomatoes and taters N onion.

That's one of the reasons I jumped on the SG2 Endura over on Massdrop.
