  • Today marks the 24th anniversary of 9/11. I pray that this nation does not forget the loss of lives from this horrible event. Yesterday conservative commentator Charlie Kirk was murdered, and I worry about what is to come. Please love one another and your family in these trying times - Spark

Newbie Bought 2 New ZT's!!!

Im telling you get the ZT-560 or 561. I started off with the 350, then the 300 and then the 550. I finally got a 560 and ended up selling all of the others because they were getting no attention from me. The deployment is addicting and it has all of the right features to be your go to knife. You will not be disappointed!

I got my 0561 in yesterday and I love it. I just need more "feel" time with it so I am not sure if I like it better than my 0550 yet!!! I do feel bad for my 0350 because I really haven't looked at it much since the 550 came in but I am going to give the 0200 a try as well, it should be here Monday! Boy collecting these ZTs are fun!

Thanks
Jim

Glad to have you on board! I personally prefer my 0550 to my 0561. I would say get something different and go for the 0560 just to try it. If you don't like it you could easily trade it on here for something else you may want to try! They are similar I just like the length on the 0550 better, it seems about perfect for me. Good luck, and Dave is the man!

In most cases the thumb stud on the 560/1 doesn't work as well as the one on the 550 because it's designed to be a flipper. It's also a big knife which may or may not appeal to you. I've grown to really like mine but it was temperamental at first. I also wish it had a steel insert on the Ti lock bar like the 801, but again it's a big knife. Think 300 vs 350.
 
I found that ZTs caused a "Gateway Effect" on me, now I am looking at getting my first Katana!!! I am afraid this is getting serious!
 
550 is a nice knife - I really like the looks of the black bladed model.

I have a 350 but prefer the 300 series - even the 200 over it. I like the larger framed knives. The 350 has it's place but the 200/300/550 series fit my hand better - and I like the balance better.
 
Yeah, I feel your pain. Bought 3ZTs in the last month. Really love what this company is doing. Keep it up Kai.
