Para2, ZT 0550, Manix 2, Stretch, domino, or ZT 0566

well I have eliminated the manix 2 and the zt 0550. Manix just because I really like ffg and the regular manix doesnt come in ffg. As for the ZT, if I am going to get a zt, I want it to have a flipper. I have been spoiled rotten by spyderco and I find I dont like thumb studs very much. So now its between the stretch, domino, para 2, and zt0566.
 
Also because I have no experience with flippers, I ordered a cryo to get the feel of it and it should ease my need for a new knife long enough for some of my choices to be restocked.
 
I can't speak for the rest of your choices but the PM2 is an amazing knife for the price if you can find one under $150.
 
I don't have experience with the stretch, domino, or zt0556.

Between the manix 2 and the pm2, I'd choose the PM2 every time.

In a lot of ways, the zt is superfluously overbuilt for my daily carry because I edc a fixed blade. When I don't carry a FB, I carry my zt0350 (not often)
 
Tough call they are all good.

I was at the shop yesterday and went specifically for the ZT560 and also looked at the PM2 and a few others.
For ME I really like the quality and features of the 560 and find the PM2 to be good but nothing really draws me too it (its a damn good blade and amazing knife), the ZT for me has all my attention and after sleeping on it I am picking it up today.

Whoever said you need to feel them is so right, this really is important.
After looking at all the forums and knives and studying details being in the shop and having them in hand really showed me that pictures and specs lie, great guidelines but not based on reality of a knife in hand.
 
If you like back locks the Stretch is very hard to beat. The carbon fiber ZDP189 is a gem if you can find one.
