It's gonna be a brown week...ZT0561/Para2

[Soulrack223]

I have both a Zero Tolerance 0561 and a Spyderco Paramilitary Sprint in bound. I'm interested to see if their Brown G-10 is similar. I'm super excited about the 0561 and I gotta keep the Para collection going.

I can't be the only forumite getting both of these knives this week, can I? Who's with me? Comparison pics when I have them both in hand.

Coulda sworn this was gonna be a thread about your gastro-intestinal issues.


Grats on the new knives. Strange enough, I have exactly zero knives incoming atm.

Naw, this is knife specific...er...general discussion. :foot:

The color is the same as far as I can tell. The ZT0561 is slightly bigger and heavier but blade thickness is about the same. Having used Elmax (ZT0551) and S35VN (ZT0550) before, I'm pretty sure Elmax will out perform S35VN by a large margine again. It really is amazing how much lighter the ZT0561 is than the ZT0302 I used to own. It was too heavy and I don't like assisted opening knives so those two changes plus the deep carry pocket clip and super blade steel make the ZT0561 a real winner. I love Para 2s. It's my favorite pocket knife design.
