ZT 560 vs ZT 200

The price difference is quite significant.... they are about the same size but the 200 is heavier.
 
Considering that the 0560 is lighter, smaller, and has a better steel, I'd say it's a better all around knife. The 0200 is awesome as a heavy duty knife, though.
 
the 560 has better steel, better imo pivot mechanism with the ball bearing system. hinderer design. and just badass looking
 
I've owned both and the 0560 all day long. But of course the price is more than double that of the 0200.
 
They are very similar. I have both and carry the 0560 as an EDC. The 200 is an excellent knife for the price but too heavy and bulky for EDC IMO
 
I'd rather carry my slim downed 200. I just love that knife. Going to send it in for a new blade though.
 
I own & love both. Overall, id have to go with the 0560. Its slimmer, lighter, feels better in pocket, & has better steel. I do, however love the way the 0200 fills my hand, its very comfortable in my XL mitts.
 
For me

ZT 560
- better steel
- Not recurved
- lighter
- slimmer in pocket
- smooth KVT pivot
- Frame lock

ZT 200
- More comfortable (for me)
- Pivot is just as smooth (could just be mine, i've heard different from other, though that could be due to their coated blade)
- Half the Price
- Tank like feel and heft
- still not too bad to carry, I don't really notice it much in pocket
- I like the handle shape of the ZT 200 better
- 154cm is still good all around stuff

When you mention "better steel" does that mean the 560 steel is stronger, more rust resistant or what.

Better edge retention, tougher, not sure about rust resistance, but probably at least equal if not more resistant.
