Which ZT0562 do you use for EDC? ZT0562 or 0562CF?

M390 and CTS204P is basically the same and hold a edge better than ELMAX. Only issue is the CF model has the less grippy G10 scale the Elmax version has. Either is fine for EDC if your used to a 5+ oz knife with a 3.5" blade.
 
The 0562 for me. I prefer the feel of G10 over carbon fibre, especially on an EDC knife. As for the blade, Elmax is perfectly fine for the stuff I use a knife for. I already have a Benchmade knife with an M390 blade. The edge holding difference between M390 and Elmax is not that significant enough to make me choose one over the other. To me the 0562CF just looks a little more dressed up.

 
I carry my 0562CF fairly often, and I've used it VERY hard. About the only way you can tell it isn't new is some scratches near the tip of the blade. I used it to cut through the panels of an interior door in my home, because we were installing a cat door into our laundry room (don't ask, oye). That knife is fantastic.
 
Elmax/G10, right into its purely functional aspects, also the industrial tool aesthetics of it.
I would also like to own a CF/204P version, but the Elmax/G10 would be what I carry when real work is pending.
