Favorite ZT

I can't decide.....I flip back and forth between the 0801 and 0452. Right now it's the 0452 but I might be back on an 0801 kick next month.
 
I really like the 0630 Emerson design. It's a knife I liked so much I bought two for some reason. It's fairly simple since it has no flipper or KVT system or assisted opening. Every part seems to be there for a good reason.
 
My ZT0630 is my favorite no doubt for me. Second place would be the ZT0095! The 0095 has to be about the best production flipper ever made!
 
It is tough to narrow it down;

Some honorable mentions:

ZT0600 - wonderfully large, beautifully crafted, RJ Martin design.
ZT0888MAX - In house design, technically innovative, world class machining, and Maximet.
ZT0560CBCF - A classic in the standard design, with CF and a S110V composite blade...all the good stuff.
ZT0562CF - An evolution of the 560, a little smaller and more refined. One I carry often.
ZT0392 - Top of the Hinderer Collaboration Heap in a LE. What's not to love.

My choice for number one if I had to choose today (might be different tomorrow...)

ZT0454 - the original. Stunning Sinkevich design, innovative sub-frame lock design, with 3D machined CF, 3D machined TI, one of the best integrated 3d Ti clips ever made, and finally that spectacular three-piece composite blade with D2 steel for the edge and spine. ...the top of a very elite heap.

I'll answer with a picture..........


Yees....If I only had the Devin Thomas version....That definitely should have made my honorable mention list....

Of all I've owned it's the 0392. I'm probably a Hinderer fanboy, but ZT perfectly executed an awesome design. I've only owned the 0303, 0550, and 0566 otherwise, so not a lot of comparisons, but the 0392 is just plain awesome.
 
Having only 3 I'm not well placed to comment, however I will say between these 3, the 0562 is far and away my favorite. Size, shape, heft, action, comfort in gripping/opening/closing, it all just hits the spot for me.

Hmm, hard to say. Of all the ones I've owned, the crown jewel for me would be the 0801S110V. Wish I still had that one.
 
I only have two ZTs. As far as cool factor goes, my new 0801BW wins hands down, but the 0562 is a bit smoother.
