Update: I think im going to go with the ZT 393 becuase beyween 562 and the 393 it looks to be personal preference. Thanks for all the help guys. Im going to leave this thread up to help other people.

My vote is 0562CF for the best materials, and all around attributes. Lots of cutting edge, carries very well, fun to flip, super touch, still slices well.

Out of those options it would be the clear choice for me.
 
Out of the knives you mentioned ... it's hard to beat the ZT 0562 ... I prefer the G10 in Elmax but I'm not sure if the have switched it to S35VN yet ... but I still prefer the G10 in this knife ... just my personal taste.

the CF versions you can get CPM-20CV steel if you prefer the upgraded steel or CF scales ...

the Shaman I really like but haven't gotten to use it much yet ... I got one because I love my Spyderco Native 5 ... the Shaman is kind of like the Native 5s big brother to me ... but as far as I know only comes in S30V so far.

As an owner of the ZT 0393, I would probably pick between the 0562CF or 0393. The 0562 doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, as you can get better steel with the 0562CF and better handle material. If you like the Hinderer design of the 0393, it's a good choice as well.
 
I’m going to vote for the ZT 0562CF.
It’s a stellar knife.

I'm a big Spydie fan but the choice between these two knives is not even close, imho.

ZT0562CF all the way - my favorite beefy tactical style folder.
 
If money is not a factor, ZT 0562CF all the way.

If money is a factor, ZT 0562CF or ZT 0562, and I would look at the Exchange.
 
Go a bit extra and spring for an XM-18 gen 6. Since they’ve moved to the triway system they are absolutely much better than the ZT variants
