What is your favorite ZT folder?

I really like my 0400st It still gets the most use. My 0350st is a close second. The 0400 is big but not huge like a 300 or 560. It's still slim enough for edc. I know alot of people don't like tanto for edc, but i use mine for everything and it works like a champ. I even use it for my turnout gear at the station. Plus it is still really cheap compared to all the others.
 
301
550
560
350
The 350 is at the bottom only if you force me to rack and stack them.

In reality it is more like:
301
550
560 350

The bearing system of the 560 (KVT?) is sweet. But I just always seem to enjoy using the 550 more. It just feels better in my hand. The 301 is the best, though. Action, ergo's, weight, lock, the works.
 
Love the 0560/61, the 0551 and the 0300 BUT my favorite is the 0560 or the 0561 depending on what color you like best. I think its the best production knife made at that price point and makes me question some of my $400 knife purchases.
 
Lol ok, so we love all of them. There were a few mentioned that I didn't even know existed. It seems like the 560 or 550 are the most popular, but I'm not really ready to drop that kind of cash. I might try a 0350 first or maybe even a 0400 (one of the ones I hadn't heard of til now). They are less than half the price of a 0560.

On a side note, what's the difference between a 0560 and a 0561?
 
The ZT I use the most is the first one I ever got:

My favorite is the 030x series. Feels perfect in my hand, bulit like a Mack Truck, and just has that authoritative sound when you open it.
 
Afraid I only own 2 at the moment.
0200 and 0780 as I prefer manual folders. I have pretty large hands so the size and heft of the 0200 is actually a good thing. It sees the most pocket time.

Now to decide on my next ZT.
 
My favorite is the 30x series. It's what got me started on knife collecting and to these forums. If it's too thick, maybe try the 550 or 560.
 
I love the 55X series.....hands down the best!!! They are tanks........I also have the 350 series. Not generally a flipper guy but I found one with the composite Elmax blade and it is just awesome!! I'm working with Cuscadi to get custom scales for it. I've had the 302 and it is also great, but just a bit big for me so I sold it. In the end, can't go wrong with any type of knife from ZT, they're all great blades!!!!
 
Without a doubt the 560 is my favorite. It is just supremely smooth and fast deploying and balanced. It feels great in the hand, and the Elmax is a nice touch. The 30X series are too big and heavy for my tastes. However, the 350 is nice too. I was quite impressed by the example I handled. Speedsafe and feels nice in the hand. But the clip just didn't carry deep enough for my tastes. (Meanwhile, the 0560 clip is fantastic).
