Huge knife attic buy not sure what to get next I'm big on zt I have a 0350, 0300, 0301, and a 0560 I also have others but the heavy duty zt folders is where it's at for me. Right now I have my eyes on the zero tolerance 0550 but not sure the 560 is a hell of a knife I love it but I think it's to large for edc what's your take on this and thoughts about the zt 0550
 
The 055x is too thick for a real edc knife, but that's my opinion as I want a large slicer since I combo it with a small fixed blade. The 055x is well built and awesome just wasn't for me since once the material your cutting gets past the edge there alot more drag than I like in a folder. But again thats my opinion and I love militaries since they are "slicier"
 
I haven't had a problem with the 0551's slicing ability. It does surprisingly well for a thick blade. I put a shallow polished edge on it and it just glides through cardboard. It also has a very good balance between pocketability and strength. You can't really go wrong with the 0550; it's a great knife and more different from the 0560 than it would seem. But there are plenty of other good options out there, too.
 
If heavy duty ZT's, then you need a ZT0200. You also should look at the BM275 Adamas, also a heavy duty folder.
 
I'd opt for the 560 out of the above choices seeing as a flipper offers the ease and speed of assited opening deployment without the aid of springs of any sort giving it a bit more in the way of realibility. Also Elmax looks pretty promising, but I've not got any experience with stiff so I can't say for certain.
 
Well I have a 0560 already but like I said I'm leaning towards that 550 for edc but I don't have a Emerson and that mini cqc 15 looks nice
 
Personally, I just got a 560 in the mail yesterday... and am already debating a 550, because I am so impressed with the 560 (but it is a hair larger than I want to carry in some situations)... So I say 550...
