I’ve been debating on that knife. Some say it’s too big, but I’ve heard it’s just right for bigger hands and is one of ZT’s smoothest flippers. How is yours?Still getting acquainted with the ZT 0452. The more I handle it, the more I love its lines and overall design.

Thanks for the info and a great picture to look at and get an idea of the size of the knife. I like how slender it is in comparison. I think it will fit me well. Thank you.I wear a size L glove and I love the ergonomics. It's comfortable in a wide variety of grips, and my fingers never feel crowded. The action is incredibly smooth.
It's so slender that it looks smaller than it is when closed. With a bit of grip-shuffling I can get my thumb or forefinger about halfway up the blade for detail work; it's not quite as versatile as the Military (the knife I own that's most like the 0452) in that regard.
I'm so used to the Millie that the 0452 doesn't feel big to me -- but YMMV, depending on what you're used to!
