how much thicker/stronger is a ZT 200 than a Cyclone?

Is the ZT 200 much thicker and/or stronger than a Cyclone? From the looks of the pivot on the ZT 200 it must be stronger. How much thicker is the blade of the ZT 200, compared to the blade of the Cyclone?

I'm asking this because I'm looking for a trade my Gerber BMF for a ZT 200, and I'm wondering what makes the ZT 200 cost alot more $ than a Cyclone, and if it's "worth" the much higher price.

Also, am I correct in assuming that the ZT 200 is drilled & tapped for tip-up/tip-down & left/right-side carry like the ZT 301/302 are?

Don't have one myself (one more knife I "need"), but from the looks of the pics in this thread, it seems to be drilled and tapped for all four positions.

Thanks for the excellent link! That pretty much answered most of my questions.

Glock- I do not own a Cyclone, but I do have a Spec Bump and ZT200. I got my ZT while the Spec was in getting a sharpening. I was amazed how much more substantial the ZT is than the Spec when I got both in the hand. I am looking at both right now and the ZT is sweet. Not taking away from the Spec, cause I love the AO feature. But to quote your signature line- if I wanted to be polite, professional, and have a plan- it would be the ZT200. I am going hunting first week of December and can't wait to see the eyes of the guys at camp as I break out my new ZT.

Isn't it just a lovely feeling when the guys start showing off there
knives and then you whip out your Kershaw....jaws start dropping.
