That's a hard call, for me the 0452 is a little too large but "for me" 7" and 8" folders are what I like. I own both the 0801 and the 0562 and they are both exceptional. The 801 is a better flipper but the 562 is no slouch. For a working knife I prefer the 562 I have the G10 version, I thought about the carbon fiber but the G10 is really more practical as it is grippier and as I said I use it for work. Ergonomics on both are excellent, elmax on both, I have the BW version of the 801 so there is the cool factor. The way I see it is it's coin flip, can't go wrong with either of these so plan to get both.
