I don't think I've seen a ZT0200 in this thread yet. 
Here's a comparison with my faithful EDC knife, an Emerson CQC-7V:
It's kind of an odd duck, and I'm not sure how I feel about it yet. It has a 4" blade with a 3 7/8" cutting edge (and that great recurve!), but by the AKTI standardized measuring system for folders, that "horn" on the handle means it counts as a 3 1/2" blade. At 7.8 oz. it's not a light knife, but at 8 3/4" long it's also not really that long. It's a big knife that somehow feels more like a medium knife.
As best I can tell, the little horn is there primarily to make room for the tip-down clip mounting points (does anyone tip-down carry a flipper?), and secondarily for aesthetics. I like the lines of this knife, and the horn as part of that look, but part of me wishes it wasn't there. I'm a big fan of washers, unassisted opening, liner locks, and a slow-roll option (thumb stud, disk, hole, etc.) -- the 0200 ticks a lot of boxes for me, and is markedly different from what ZT tends to make these days.
After the Satu, the 0200 feels positively dainty.
