After seeing the previous post I have changed my mind about the zt0456 and have a new updated poll for you guys.
 
I voted 0920.
Very nice in the hand, best production flipping action i've ever seen, regardless of price, great steel, nice blade and killer looks.

All of these would be a good choice though, these are really ZT's greatest hits imo.
 
You forgot the None Of The Above option. (I've handled all three; but chosen not to buy any)

(admittedly, I purchased the 0456 primarily based on aesthetics, and I didn't carry/use it for over a year because it's smaller than I prefer)

I still like the 452. Just never a huge Hinderer design fan. If not the 452, then the 920.

My other thoughts would be:
If you want some aftermarket add-on coolness, the 562 will have more options.
If you want a more "general utilitarian" knife, either the 562 or 920 would probably be better choices than the 452.
 
I've never liked the design of the 0452. It looks like a tactical steak knife.

I've had an 0562 and an 0920, and I kept the 0920. The 0920 might have a recurve, but overall I think the blade is better than the one on the 0562, and the handle is wonderful.
 
I recommend you the 0562 in the other thread and voted for it here. It's at twice the amount of votes than the other two. Very popular model for good reason. It will start your zt addiction.
 
I rate 0452cf and 0562cf as the best sub $300 folders that ZT ever made. The third one would be between 0801 and 0920.

The 900 will be my white whale. I wish I would have gotten one when they were being produced. Then again, I'm a big 909 fan, and I can't see why it didn't sell better.

Of the ones mentioned, I'd go with the 920. Big enough to do heavy work, light enough to pack all day. It looks nice too. A tad slippery, but if I need a 4" folder with a grippy surface, I'll just go back to the 909.
 
I like the overall look of the 0562 better, and the action is a little smoother imo, but if I had to choose one to carry I'd go with the 0452. The 0562 is just a little too bulky for an EDC imo.
 
Can’t really go wrong with any ZT. The 0801 is great too, as is the 0095 & 0808 series. That said I’m surprised the 0562cf has such a big lead in the vote...maybe it has something to do with the upgraded steel over the 0452? And based on some of the comments I’m thinking the 0920 is going to be my next knife, since I’m a big fan of the 0909 and I don’t really care for the looks of the new 0470.
 
I would choose the (discontinued) 0560 over the 0562 EVERY day!!! But again, I have big hands. Now, the 0452 vs. the 0560 would be a hard call. Slim, svelte, and stabby, versus a bruiser brute. :cool: ;) Both about the same length.

(Mine has an aftermarket custom lightning strike carbon fiber presentation-side scale by Rival.)
