Ultimate shootout. Pick me a winner !

I own the GB, 0561 and 0200. The 0561 is the neatest of the three based on its shape and manufacture. For carrying and normal use the GB is probably the best because it is the smallest and lightest but is still tough. The 0200 is big and heavy, almost too big and heavy for most people.

As you can see I'm looking for more of a tough blade for this purchase.

Any one of them should meet that criteria nicely.

For the price for fun and for pure enjoyment of ownership.

For that I would pick the GB.

Agree. I carried a 200 for awhile. Great knife but just seemed too heavy for EDC.
Switched to a ZT350KW and have EDC'd it for years. Seems, to me, a good compromise of weight, strength, size and price.
 
I own and use the 0200, the 0560 and the GB. No joke, when I first opened my large Sebenza, I thought " This feels as smooth and solid as my Gayle Bradley!" But my favorite fondle/worry stone knife and the one that is ALWAYS in a pocket is my Techno. Great little big knife.
 
If you are going to get just one - the ZT056x. I bought them all but the ZT350 was small for my tastes.
 
For it's size, the 560 series carries much smaller/lighter than it is.. Oh, and it's smooth as silk to open. The GB is a good blade too. Great steel, but I'm not a fan of the nested liner lock. And for a "hard use" folder, I wish the GB had a better choil to protect from sliding forward onto the blade. I'd go with the 560/561 (and did).
