I will be buying my first ZT soon, with any luck! Any advice? I like the looks of the 0350
 
They're all good. Get the one that appeals to you the most and enjoy it.
 
My 0350 was my first ZT and it is a tough knife but I don't carry it. I don't like the pocket clip and am not a fan of the recurve blade. It's also too thick, ie, overkill for my daily needs. I've also got a 0560 but many find it too big to EDC, including myself. So far my favorite in terms of size and shape is the 0566. It's heavy but thinner than the 0350 and better suited to my needs and has been my main EDC folder for the past year. I will likely get a 0562 somewhere down the road too, and may also try one of the Emerson/ZT models (I'm not a regular Emerson fan).
 
ZT makes fantastic knives. The 350 is a strong do it all knife. The first time I ever held the 350 I looked at my friend and said,"this makes me want to chop a tree down.:cool:
 
I bought my first zt about a year ago, with some hesitation I might add. After I received the knife(0561), I was hooked. Now I have at least 6 of them with no hesitation to buy more. I say do it!!!
 
Agreed that the 350 is great, as is the 0550 and the 0770 in Elma's or m390.
Check the thickness of the handle and the weight to be sure of your carry comfort zone.y
 
Each model is great for different things. You can't go wrong with anything that has ZT on the blade. My current favorite is the 0801 and the 0562 is next up on my buy list!

Its simple, and overkill, but i love my 200 that i just got. Frankly, as others have said, i don't think there is a way to go wrong with ZT. Get the one that appeals in looks, size, and materials, and you will be happy.
 
zt is great! I carry the 0562 when the sage2 isnt in my pocket. so far the 0562 has been my favorite because its thinner, less noticable in the pocket, looks great, can customize it, and still built like a tank, also i like having a steel insert for the lock bar. although i have been wanting to get a 0801. anyone who has the 0801 and 0562 have any opinions on the two?
 
Hurry up ZT discontinuing 4 or 5 models. 350 is staying so if another catches your eye jump on it. Once discounts going on models that are ending too
 
0350 was my first ZT but I didn't carry it much due to size. The 0566 on the other hand is the bees knees. You will be hooked regardless.
 
My two favorite designs.. 561 and 200.

Sorry for the bad picture..

I am considering a ZT350. Was offered one at a recent gun show for $100 bucks. Did not like the blade finish so I passed on it.
 
I'd personally go with the 0566 since I'm not the biggest fan of recurves and I like Hinderer's designs
 
When you first let the 0350 open and you hear that solid "THUNK", you're gonna wonder why you waited. And you'll start looking, planning and plotting, however deviously, on which ZT to buy next. Keep your eyes on the exchange for gently used ones or and of the supporting dealer sites. My 0350 is in my pocket now.
 
Don't hesitate! It is worth it :) I just bought my first about a month ago, and LOVE it! I got a 560 ii find it to be great or an edc, more than what I really need, but I love the look, and how it feels in my hand :)
