Which to buy: Kizer Gemini or ZT 0900?

I like slicers and have been looking at Gemini for a while myself, but the grind seems to shallow and leaves the thickness behind the edge high.
Then I found the Vanguard version, which uses much thinner blade with seemingly better grind.
The blade steel is somewhat downgraded from S35VN to VG-10, which is still decent.

I have Vanguard Gemini, and it really reminds me of a Spyderco slicer like a Calypso or Delica.
 
I'm thinking about ZT 0900 but it offers comfortable "saber" grip or only 3 fingers grip? I don't have giant hands.
 
Ourgon, I think it'll fit you just fine. It offers plenty of purchase for the relative smaller size.

Either way profits are going to either China or Japan. I like domestic support, which I believe is not in place for Kizer yet, so I'd go ZT as both are great blades for the $.

Some profits from ZT are going to Japan sure, but keep in mind all the people they employ in the U.S. that make the knives and sell the knives.

Thank you for the info, Anthony.
From a picture of it elsewhere, it looks like it is very thin behind the edge, and probably much thinner than Spyderco knives.
Can you verify that for me?
Also can you tell me how you like it as a total package?
Thanks,
