IF you could only have one ZT knife

Prior to late last week it would have been my 0562CF, but the 0392 exceeded my already high expectations.
 
I have only had a chance to handle a 0350 and I liked that. So, that would have to be my choice. Do they make anything with a FFG drop point blade?

Hey Sabre Cat,
Off the top of my head, I think the closest your going to get at the moment to a FFG drop point is the 0562. If I am mistaken, somebody please correct me.




 
I had a 0801 and sold it. I replace it with a 0770CF. Very nice knife. I just picked up a 0562CF and love it as well.
 
777 Herringbone. Lightweight huge wharncliffe flipper with amazing steel, action, warranty, and appearance.

I mean really. This is the perfect knife that I can never have. Oh, what? Kai made a different wharncliffe titanium bearing flipper with CF? Oh, the TiLT? Oh, they discontinued it as well? Awesome.

Screw you, ZT. Make an unassisted bearing Ti flipper with a wharncliffe blade and CF and good steel and KEEP IT IN PRODUCTION YOU ROTTEN BASTARDS

This is such an unfair question. Like asking which is my favorite child lol. Of the 4 ZT's I own, 0550, 0620cf, 0562cf, and 0801bw, I think it would be a very close race between my 0550 and my 0620. I think if it came right down to it, I would pick the 0550, because I have had it the longest, and I think the blade shape is more versatile.

However, If you ask me tomorrow, I may change my answer.;)



 
Right now?...the 0392, it redefines what is possible at the $400 price point. My hats off to ZT and Mr. Hinderer.
My second choice would have to be the 0562, I'm shocked by how comfortable this knife is in hand and how well it slices...it's become my most used folder.
 
At these prices... I guess I CAN only have one ZT knife. Love my ZT0350OR
 
0121!!! Of the ZT's I've owned this is the one I've had the longest. Was a grail fixed blade for me. I have the 0100 which is equally as awesome, just too big for me to carry in the stock sheath.

All of the ZT folders I've owned (0350,0550,0700, 0566) And the ones I've hanlded/carried of my brothers (0561,0750,0200,0770,0770cf) have been fantastic knives. For some reason they have all been beaten out by a couple other knives to stay in my pocket.

Maybe a 0562cf would change my answer.
Pretty sure a 0392 would change my answer.
 
If we're going to dream big...

The original Sinkevich proto for the 0454, followed by the ZT OTF proto.

The 0121 if a great knife, I've proabably used it/beat on it, more than any other fixed blade knife I own other than the Busse TGLB.
 
Don't overlook this past years American Made Knife of the Year, the ZT 0562CF. The way they chamfered the edges of the scales makes this knife SO comfortable to use and the blade grind slices better than any of my other ZT's. I bought the G-10 version (though I love me some carbon fiber...I have a lot of CF) but I planned on using this knife a ton and I like the extra grip the G-10 provides. By the way, its also the smoothest flipper I own...a home run by ZT plain and simple.
 
I'd love to see ZT make a scaled down version of the 0560 series with a nicely executed hollow grind blade in something like s110v. If I could only have one,this would be it.:)
