Out of the ones I've tried (0200, two different 0350's. 0400 and a 0561) The 0561 is my favorite. It's beast but it's subtle about it. It's immensely smooth, too.

I'll get back to you on that once I own one of each model.:D 0550 has been good to me along with the 0561. No complaints.
 
My 0560/0561 is my favorite. Would love to get my hands on a 777 but can't afford one lol.
 
ZT0350 is my work EDC and I have to say it's a great knife for that purpose, it's the knife I use every day so for that reson along it's my favorite

Price aside. which is your favorite Zero Tolderance model? I have a feeling the 300 series will be the most voted though.

Yep. Got to go with my 301. I carry other ZT's as well, but my 301 fits my hand well. It's in my pocket right now.

The only thing I would change is the pocket clip - to make it more like the 550g2 or 560 deep carry clips. Wish ZT would offer deep carry clip options for all their knives.

on edit: one hour later - 301 front right pocket, 560 top left.

301 still at the top of my chart and that would be it if I had to pick one.

That's like asking which is your favorite child!!! Hmmm this is really tough, I have only started collecting them about 2 weeks ago and bought the 0200, 0350, 0550 and 0561.

At first I hated my 0561 because it gave me serious fits!!! After tinkering with it for hours and getting bit numerous times it is all adjusted to my liking and right up there with the 0550.

I have owned the 0200 for three days and I love, love, love it, smooth as butter. I read that some folks say it can't be as smooth as the 0560 but I guess there are a few out there that are!!!

I also love the 0350 but not quite as much as the others, I guess I am not a big fan of the spring assist!!!

The 0550 was just about perfect for me from day one, it's sturdy, decent weight, good looks and right size. The only thing I would like is the jimping of the blade continue onto the handle for about an inch. I'm actually thinking of doing it but I don't want to screw it up!!!

Oh well for me its a 3 way tie for now!

I've only ever had one, so by default its my most favorite AND my least favorite. 0780, I still have it and I like it very much.

The 0780 is my favorite as well; I'm sure that having EDC'ed a Kershaw G-10 Wild Wild Turkey for years has something to do with that!
 
Thats a very hard choice since I got my 301 and 560 but I will still give the nudge to the 550. The 301 is a tank and the 560 is beefy but subtle as Will put it, but there is something about the 550 that pretty much makes it the perfect knife for me. It has been my favorite for a while now and I am thinking until the 566 comes out it might stay that way.
 
None, unfortunately. ZT makes great knives. But they're too large, too heavy and too bulky to meet my needs. If ZT ever gets to the point of creating a folder that weighs 4.0 ounces or less and measures 8.0" or less overall, I'll buy it. (In terms of reference, the largest knife I carry is a Spyderco Southard. And most of my knives are smaller and lighter than the Southard.)

Considering they're mostly made for Military/LEO use For life and death situations the last thing they're worried about is saving weight..It would be like asking for a light Humvee.

Absolutely. Just because a manufacturer's design philosophy doesn't meet my needs doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with it. Having said that, if I'm going to carry a knife into a life and death situation, it won't be folder. (That's why the Dear Lord made Jerry Busse. ;) )

The specs I get on the 0700 are 8.125" overall and 5.1 ounces That's a little longer and heavier than I like. But thanks anyway. :)
