I recently got my hands on a ZT 561 with a choil mod, which is my first EDC with a choil and I love it. I think it actually makes the knife look much sexier and it is very functional. I know the choil takes away from the cutting edge, but I think its a nice trade off, it even makes it easier for ME to sharpen (because I have a bad habit of cutting into the plunge line on ZTs). I talked to a guy on the forum who does some really nice choil mods and he cuts into the flipper a little to take as little cutting edge away as possible, so I don't think there is a huge sacrifice there.
So, what do you guys think about choil mods in general? Would you add one to a ZT 0562? Do you think the 0562 would look better or worse with a choil added? I have a 0562 on preorder, and I think I'll have that forum member I mentioned add a choil to it when it comes in. I even came up with a little rendering I made quickly in Paint. I used a screen shot taken off of a very good video by sticktodrum on youtube.
