In my last post i asked for suggestions for a quality EDC knife for under $300. I've done a lot of thinking and i've got it narrowed down to two, a NEW ZT0562cf or a USED small sebenza 21. i like both knives for different reasons, i like the ZT because its less expensive, its a flipper and in my opinion its a cooler looking knife. On the other hand i like the sebenzas but even a used one is quite a bit more expensive and i would have to go the extra mile to find a used one in good condition and in my price range, However i know that CRK's are excellent quality knives. So please give me your input on which knife you think i should spend my money on. Thanks!

With the two options you have selected, you cannot go wrong. The ultimate answer is to get both, but the question still remains as to what to get first. After having owned many ZT's and a couple of CRK's, I still have the CRK. ZT's are phenomenal knives, and there are a few I am likely to purchase in the future, but for that touch of unmatched fit/finish, the Sebenza is quite a nice experience.

Your planned use is also quite relevant, for the blade length and opening mechanisms make them quite different.

Ultimately, there is no bad choice. I look forward to seeing what you select!
 
I have the larger versions of both of those knives (ZT 0560 and Large Sebenza 21) and while I find my Sebenza gets more pocket time I would recommend the 0562CF in your case. If you did buy the small Sebenza you would soon find yourself wanting something a bit larger. So if you were to buy a CRK I would recommend just to start with a Large Sebenza as many people end up wanting the Large after they buy a Small. However, since that isn't in your budget I say go with the 0562. You won't be disappointed.
 
Awesome, Thanks guys! i think i'm gonna go with the ZT as soon as BladeHQ gets them in. I would love to have a sebenza 21 sometime in the future though.
 
I would buy which ever one you find and save up for the other. Neither are limited editions but both are kinda hard to find easy.
