I may be a little late for the Military train, but I have been reading and watching review after review and everyone just raves about it. The only concern some people seem to have is that it is a little large for EDC. I have a ZT 560 which I EDC and actually love the size of. That too is sometimes considered too large a knife for EDC. Could some one who owns both post some comparison shots next to each other for size comparison? I'm really close to convincing myself that I need one. Help convince me.

Well I'll be. There exactly the same size. I too, was wondering about this. From the other side however....
 
Even better than I could have possibly imagined. I guess that means I'm buying a Military.
 
Cutting edge is almost the same, handle on the Military is about 3/4" longer.

You need one.

It's a tad longer overall but carries way better than the 560, combination of being thinner, lighter and the subtle curve of the handle and clip makes it disappear in the pocket.
 
Another thing that makes the military carry better is that it rides a little higher. I hate the low-rider clip on the 560 but they seem to be the fad these days.
