What is your favorite zt knife?

For me this the most handsome model.... 0560BLK, perfect machining, lightning fast pivot too.

Unfortunately, had to fund it for another grail folder.

The first version 801 at one time was said to have the best flipping action of any ZT. While it has arguably been surpassed by knives like the 452 in this realm it seems like the 801 was probably the knife where Zt learned how to make a perfect flipping action.

Flipping action varies even among knives of the same model. Among the ZTs I have/had, the best action goes to 0561, followed by 0801, and then 0562cf and 0452cf, although the differences are pretty small as they are all great.
 
I have a LOT of ZTs and I would say my top 3 favorites are 1. 0452 series, 2. The 0095 series and 3. The 0200. However my 0808, 0801, 0562, 0804 and 0450s are very smooth folders too. Just get what you like as far as price/steel/looks are concerned because they (KVT) are all very smooth.
 
I really like the weight and speed of the 462. Lotta knife at a low weight.

Still I gravitate toward the dark horse models. Love the overall design of the 850. I carry a wheel gun, so the aesthetic works for me. I also enjoy my chunky little 456. Its like a Kershaw Needs Work was killed in a shoot out with criminals and ZT gave it the Robocop treatment.
 
For general all-'round usage, the 630. I also like my 750, as it fills a nice non-waved niche, in place of my Spyderco P'kal.
