I got my ZT560 in today. So, I decided to take some pics with all the girls together, and some comparison shots. The 560 is an AWESOME knife. I have found ZERO that I can complain about on it. It's light weight, smooth operation, large blade, and deep pocket carry make it a perfect EDC. It came super sharp, sharpest of any of my knives. Sorry 350. You gotta take a break and sit on the night stand, while I date the 560 for a while.:D

My photo's aren't the greatest. I still have a lot to learn about picture taking. But, I hope you enjoy viewing my ZT and Kershaw girls.:D

Here is pics from unpackaging the 560.

Lock comparison between the 560 and the 200.

Notice the thickness difference between the 200 and 560. The 560 is thin and light weight. The 200 feels a whole lot heavier.

The 300 compared with the 560 lock. They both lock up solid. But, the 560 is a bit beefier.

Here is a comparison of the back of the 300 and the 560. As you can see, again, the 560 is thinner and lighter. But, the 560 appears to be just as tough. Only much lighter in weight.

The 560 feels great and very light in the hand, and is very ergonomic. It fits my hand well. It's not crowded, or two thick, or two wide. It's just right.

These are my ZT girls. The 350 was the first, a gift from Dave/Kershawguy. Dave, you are an ENABLER!!! Thank you buddy!! After experiencing the 350 from Dave I got the 301 from him. Then, I picked up a 200 and 300 off of the auction site for cheap. Then, I got extremely lucky and found a site that had 560's in stock. Ordered her, and there she is with her sisters.

Here is a family photo with the ZT's, and the Kershaw girls together. This pic does not include the Kershaw blurs my boys have, my wifes scallion, and my daughter's Shallot. The Kershaw's were all purchased at a local flea market for cheap.(I love getting good deals at flea markets.)The three G10 speed bumps came off of Amazon, for cheap(like 32 dollars and some change.) I'm keeping two of them new in the box in case I wanna do some trading. All the rest are users. They were all like new. But, I can't help myself. I gotta use them. My ZT's are no different. I gotta use them. So, the 560 will be in for some fun getting used.

This ZT/Kershaw kick began when I found some Kershaw's at a local flea market. I then started reading this forum, and became hooked. I went on a buying binge, and after a few months this is what I ended up with. I'm now on knife buying restriction, and I'm having withdrawals. I think I may need counseling. Will you guy's help me!! Talk me down!!! Tell me it's gonna be OK!!!

Maybe momma will let me have my wallet back after she and my kids get back from the trip to Fiesta Texas, in San Antonio that I just sent them on. I hope the good time she's having while I work this week will convince her I need some more ZT/Kershaw LOVING!!!:D:D:D

I hope my pics aren't too awfully bad. And, I hope you fella's enjoyed them.
 
The bug bit you good.... Awesome collection! Only way to stop spending more is to understand how long these knives will do their job (a lifetime+)
 
Knowing how good they are, and how long they last, only makes me want to buy more. I used to be nothing but a traditional guy. I carried Case, Queen, and USA made Schrade's. And, I used them a lot harder than I should have. I have a few with blade play, and I fear I'll have to send them in to get fixed. But, I don't have any problems like that with my ZT and Kershaw's. Also, the blade steel is much better on the Kershaw's and ZT's. The only traditional company with decent steel that I own is Queen. Their D2 steel is done very well, and I like it a lot.

But, I gotta tell you as soon as momma gives me back my wallet I'll be looking to buy a 550. I think I'll enjoy that one as much as I have the other ZT's. But, for now, the 560 has taken over as my EDC.
