Hi everyone. Im planning to get my first ever ZT knife and have narrowed the choices to these three : 0350,0562,0630.
The 0350 is of course the least expensive of the bunch, being $70 less than the 0562 and probably 0630 aswell. I do like the looks of it. However, if i were to get the 0562 or 0630, it would not only my first ZT, but my first Ti Framelock knife which is pretty cool. They all look really nice in my opinion. Your valued opinions will be appreciated.

Of those 3 I like the 562 the best. If I could make a suggestion the 0620 is also really good! Pretty much the same knife as the 0630 and discontinued so you can find them for around $150 which makes them a really good value. The 0620 is probably my favorite ZT.
 
My first ZT was the 0562. Perfect EDC size and weight, deep carry clip, smooth, fast action, fabulous fit and finish, very comfortable and it looks just amazing. I love every aspect of it.
 
My first zt was the 0562. An overall great knife. I do love the blade shape of the 0630 but thats because im an emerson fan.
My opinion is choose between the 562 or 630.
 
The 0562 is best but the 0350 may be the "best first" ;)

0350 was manufactured in a time where knives like 0562 and 0452 were not designed yet. With the availability of the latter ones, I dont see why one still wants the 0350. I suggest you take 0562 or 0562cf.

Check out the for-sale forum and see what you like. I see a lot of great ZT's being sold for very good prices by Forum members.

After having 7 different models, I had to jump on the bandwagon. The only ones I kept are 562CF, 452CF and 550 Gen 3.
562CF is the daily carry and could be the only one I ever need.

Wow i guess ZT0562 for the win huh? I guess i have to bite the bullet and drop $250 on my first higher end knife. Thanks everyone much appreciated

The issue with a first knife is sometime to take the best one rather than just a good one
Because after you are always disappointed
I think the 0350 is a very good first knife to get into the world of ZT and to start to appreciate their design

In comparison the 0562 is clearly better but maybe to good to start with
From the ZT I have the 0562 and 0801 clearly stand out of the standards
But even nowadays I enjoy my 0350.
It is cheaper, good at what he do, and I like the way it looks

I don't really EDC the 0350, I pick up my 0562 or 0801 more
But when I travel or when I really need to do some hrs use I take the 0350... It is just fun to use it without paying much attention to marks, costs or whatever....

My first ZT was the 0566bw and it was a great blade (wish I wouldn't have sold it) but ended up buying the 0630 next (wish I wouldn't have sold it either). I just recently got the 0620 and don't plan on selling it anytime soon.

I think I have plans to pick up a 0350cfm390 or the 0566cfm390 in the near future because of the rarity.

As far as one ZT that I have always desired but haven't forked up the money or been able to find one on trade is the 0562 or 0562cf. Absolutely love them. Just always find something else when I have the money.

From what you listed, I would grab the 0562.

ZT 0566CF M390 is a smaller then ZT 0562, but it has assist and may be more thinner.
I have both version 566 and 562 in M390, now it's more rare on the market and for sure more expensive then new CTS-204P.
